Ok, I stopped today and checked out a Martial Arts School, called Taegon Martial Arts. The owner is a very nice guy, learned from a Korean Master and so forth. Ended up talking to him for about 45 minutes about just about everything. My questions are,

1. Is $70 a month for the one year, $60 a month for two years and $50 a month for three years reasonable? The three year program takes me to the first degree black.
2. What specifically should I look for when shopping around?

I know that's not a lot of info, but I'll try to post more in a bit. Thanks everyone.

The price sounds fair, but is it unlimited lessons per week? How long are the lessons? How often can you go? Are you learing self-defense? Forms? Technique? Fighting skills (contact - light contact - full contact)? What styles do they train? Kenpo, Tai Kwan-do, kung-fu, Chinese Wushu? Do they blend technique from other schools? How much are tests per belt? 3 years is a good pace to black, hopefully not too quick. 3-5 years is the expected rate to reach black - so depending on the amount of time you invest, it could be accurate.
