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?

you are converting backwards my dear.
1 US dollar = 0.6535 British pounds sterling
US Dollar
British Pound Sterling
10 quid is about $15 USD

15 years ago, I think it was closer to 2/1 in favor of the pound.

my point is that to my knowledge, the USD has never been higher than GBP. At least not in my lifetime.
Here is a graph that explains it.
