I reviewed the Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals (GB1) class webpage provided on the application. The program was confirmed to be a subject-based, recreational martial arts class open to the general public with no college credit or clinical therapy component. However, the website does not publish class pricing or a specific schedule with days and times. Because no fee structure is publicly available on the site, the requested rate of $189 per month could not be verified against published rates. The reviewer will need to obtain direct documentation or local school pricing confirmation from the provider for fee and schedule verification.

Class has published fees — a public price is visible on the website Not Found
Form question: Does the class have published fees? (attach link / advertised flyer)
The provider's website outlines the GB1 program and offers a free introductory trial class, but does not display any public pricing or membership fees.
