I have trained at affiliated gyms and frankly the costs are shocking... After some research:
Gracie Barra can charge 5 figure sums for affiliation.
The Riberio brothers charge $400 a month for affiliates.
Most Brazilian based organisations charge at least $ 1000 a year.
On top of this, there can be requirements to buy merchandise from your affiliate of choice and mandatory seminars too (which always cost thousands).
I can't see much benefit in having an affiliation. People say you get access to world class black belts, but every seminar I've been too has been hosted by another club. To cover costs they open it to everyone.
Are there any real benefits to it?
