Your Adult Karate Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

Adult karate classes cost $100 to $150+ per month on average. Prices depend on the class size, location, and number of classes per week included in the membership plan. Classes held at community centers typically cost less than those offered at professional dojos.

You'll also need to pay for uniforms, belts, and testing fees. A karate uniform, also called a Gi or karategi, costs $60 to $120, while belts cost $5 to $20. Some schools include one gi and belt with your first month's tuition. Testing fees vary by school, but beware of schools that charge more than $20 per test.

Private karate lessons cost $40 to $80 per hour. Private lessons may speed up your progress because the instructor provides personalized guidance tailored for your needs and skill level.

Karate classes provide a variety of mental and physical benefits, including:

  • Increased confidence and self-discipline
  • Improved strength and endurance
  • Better balance, coordination, and flexibility
  • Self-defense skills
  • Improved focus and concentration
  • Improved cardio health

Adult karate classes are typically 45 minutes to 2 hours long. A typical class includes:

  • Formal etiquette, such as bowing to the instructor at the beginning and end of class.
  • Warm-up and stretching
  • Practicing stances, punching, kicking, and blocking
  • Practicing forms or katas
  • Drilling with partners
  • Drilling with pads and targets
  • Conditioning drills to improve fitness and stamina

Yes, karate has weight classes categorized by age and gender. The World Karate Federation (WKF) recognizes five weight classes in competition, while the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognizes three weight classes for each gender:

  • Men – up to 67 kg
  • Men – 67.1 kg to 75 kg
  • Men – over 75 kg
  • Women – up to 55 kg
  • Women – 55.1 kg to 61 kg
  • Women – over 61 kg

Follow these tips to find the best karate classes near you:

  • Look for a reputable dojo that specializes in karate rather than a mixed martial arts gym.
  • Read dojo and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the school offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the dojo in person to confirm it is clean and well-maintained.
  • Take advantage of a free trial class to ensure the school is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before signing up or making any payments.

Ask these questions to ensure you join the best karate dojo for you:

  • How much do your classes cost?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • How many students do you have?
  • How many students are in a typical class?
  • Do you offer a free trial class or a new-student special?
  • What should I wear to class?
  • How often should I practice outside of class?
  • Do your instructors and students compete regularly?
  • Do you charge for belt promotions? If yes, how much?
  • How often do you clean your mats?

It's practically and easily usable the same day you learn especially if you unfortunately have to be in a situation to use it. Besides the physical skill set you have receive the mind set to deal with critical life scares.

Lessons with Dave were awesome! They made me feel more confident and the environment is always great with him! The only reason I didn’t continue taking classes with him is because I had to come back to my home country. Keep up with the good work, Dave!
