New Class Fee System

New Class Fee System

日本語

We will be introducing a new class fee system starting on September 22nd.

After almost four years of offering the cheapest capoeira classes in Tokyo we have decided to increase class fees.
There are several reasons for the increase, the main reason is the funding of our next big capoeira project which we hope we’ll be able to officially announce soon. The project aims to increase the quality of training at GBCJ, and also grow our group here in Tokyo.

Some things will not change:

Bantus Introduction Class: 500yen

Membership Fee: 7500yen

Half-Year Membership Fee: 5500yen

More info about the membership fee

New fees in red

Drop-in Class for Non-members: 2000yen

Drop-in Class for members: 1500yen

We will be introducing a new sliding scale system for GBC Japan members. This system will reward members that come to classes frequently. See graphic below.


Sliding scale of class fees based upon attendance in one calendar month.

1st to 4th class in that month: 1500yen per class.
After your 4th class in that month: 1000yen per class.
After your 8th class in that month: 500yen per class.
