Frequently Asked Questions!
“Does a lower price mean less attention?”
We get asked this a lot. The answer is a loud, firm “No”. In many industries, you get what you pay for. But in Martial Arts, the value is in the sweat, the technique, and the community. Whether you are on our Open Door Tier or our Donor Tier, you get:
* Same world-class instructors.
* Same curriculum and belt progression.
* Same respect on the mat.
We don’t tier our quality—we only tier our accessibility. Because your potential shouldn’t have a price tag. 🥋✨
The “Contract” Question
Most Dojos hide their contracts in the fine print. We decided to just… not have them. 🙅♂️ We run a monthly recurring payment schedule.
A compassionate brand doesn’t hold people hostage. If your life changes—if you move, lose a job, or just need a break—you shouldn’t be penalized for it.
At Rising Dragon, we want you here because you love the training, because you believe in the training, and believe in our leadership… not because a legal document says you have to be. You can change your tier or pause your membership with a simple conversation. That’s the power of a trust-based community.
“What is the ‘Champion Tier’ actually for?”
This is the heart of our mission. ❤️
When you choose the Champion Tier, you aren’t just paying for your own training. You are becoming a patron of the arts. Your extra contribution helps us “bridge the gap” for students in our Access and Open Door Tiers who might otherwise face financial barriers preventing them from receiving the benefits of Martial Arts. It’s a way for our more established members to look out for the next generation. It’s the ultimate form of martial arts spirit: Strength protecting Growth.
