Kondokan Zen Martial Training - What's all the fuss about?

Can anybody tell me what makes Kondokan training so special that it is chosen by all the celebrities and rich people to take up. Is it just because it's private and mysterious or is there something in this Zen stuff?

I'm not impressed at all. Lessons from Zen masters, yet they list no lineage. Zen martial arts, but it appears to be just a hodge podge of different styles.

Don't waist your time. If you want to study Zen, find a legitimate teacher.

So where did you hear that? The English Royal Family is also rather big. You might want to narrow it down a bit.

Big Bucks is right! From their website:

All Martial arts licenses, training uniforms, equipment, grading fees and insurance are provided free by the Kondokan.

Single Session £150
Group Session £200
Day long Seminar £500
Each instructor is paid by the session £150. This is a flat fee for the instructor providing one to one tuition. Each session lasts approximately 2 hours. If you want to bring friends and family, you are welcome, the cost increrases to £200 per session flat rate. Business and group seminars last one day and cost £500. Concessionary rates are available for students on low income
