Homaira T. says, "Philipe has been an incredible basketball coach for my son since June 2022. His patience, skill, and ability to motivate and inspire young athletes is truly remarkable. Philipe has a talent for encouraging kids to never give up and strive for improvement. He pays close attention, makes it fun, but is extremely effective. By the end of August 2022, just a few months after starting with Philipe, my boy had become the best player in his age group—testament to my son's determination and Philipe’s exceptional coaching. I’ve seen Philipe working with other kids in the neighborhood when they join my son after the sessions. His attention to each player’s development sets Philipe apart as a coach. We are extremely pleased with his techniques and highly recommend him to anyone seeking professional basketball coaching." Read more

In addition to the class fee, you'll have extra costs for uniforms, belts, and testing fees. A karate uniform—also called a Gi, karategi, or dogi—costs $60 to $120 on average, while belts cost $5 to $20. Some schools include a 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.
