It does have a reputation for being expensive, which is part of the reason people like me don’t think of it as their kind of game. As for the reality… From what I know, it’s not exactly cheap. But I’m not sure it’s much more expensive than some other forms of exercise people routinely spend money on.
It’s pretty expensive, and only mediocre exercise. It also demands quite a bit of training before you’re good enough to have much fun (so it seems to me).
