Hello I'm Anthony Alexander. I have been coaching boxing and muay thai kickboxing for 15 years teaching ages 8-73. We would work on foot work, punching, elbows, kneeling, and kicking for offense. For defense we would work on blocking, headmovement, and timing. I hold focus mitts for punching and elbows. For kicks I hold thai pads. My rate is $50 per hour if I travel to you. If you come to my garage gym in east Sacramento it is $40 per hour.

Your karate questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do karate classes cost?

Karate classes cost $100 to $150+ per month on average. Prices depend on the class size, student's age, location, and number of classes per week included in the membership plan. Classes held at community centers typically cost less than those held in professional dojos. Private karate lessons cost $40 to $80 per hour and are tailored to your needs and skill level.

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.

Joaquin D.
The best part for me while working with Allan is that he always keeps the classes fun yet challenging. Allan’s knowledge of striking is world class. His ability to communicate his knowledge is what makes him stand out. He breaks down the fundamentals in such a way that people from all levels can pick up and learn from. Highly recommend giving his class a try.

Stu is a very detailed instructor. He explains every exercise and move and why you are learning it. He demonstrates and goes at your pace. He's also very encouraging while you are learning. He gives clear feedback when you can improve something and he is also patient while you are trying to learn the skill he is teaching.
