[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: When the hell did studying martial arts get so expensive?!

	When i was 14 (ok, so 15 years ago, but still...) i took Tae Kwon Do classes and you paid 10 quid (about $7-ish) per week, if you didnt show up, you didnt pay. You paid extra for your uniforms, gradings etc. I decided that maybe i would switch one of my dance classes for a Tae Kwon Do class, as im looking for a bit more aggressive levels of fitness, plus it goes well with my intent to improve myself mentally as well as physically this year. Except the cost of studying a martial art appears to be the cost of all my dance classes put together! When the hell (and why the hell) did it get so expensive? /blog off -----signature----- Wolfz All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies.

Oh i didnt mean that back then it was about $7, i was just doing a rough conversion based on what i thought the current conversion rate was. -----signature----- Wolfz All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies.
