I am spirit who's calling is to provide direction and value for those who seek to develop their mind and body. I specialize in personal training, meditation, journaling, breathwork, martial arts, and yoga. The development of your physical body requires mental/emotional changes, thus, it's fundamental to facilitate the simultaneous growth of both. What we'd do is identify where you are and where you'd like to go while maintaining a balance of self-acceptance and self-improvement—unlike the toxicity of the modern self-help movement which is primarily concerned with self-improvement.

Eric says, "I started taking private lessons from Mario a couple months ago. I had experience with martial arts, Jiu Jitsu in particular, but my striking was pretty non existent. Mario is a great teacher. I needed the basic fundamentals from day 1, and thats what he gives me. I cant day Im anywhere a good boxer yet, not even close, but now I know what I dont know and have the fundamentals and good habits to be able to shadow-box on my own and not build nasty habits. He’s been able to accommodate my schedule on a couple of occasions as well which is much appreciated. He has a great set up in his garage. Work out is also killer too. Cant beat his price for a private lesson. I highly recommend." Read more

Instructing youngsters and adults in martial arts for over thirty years has been a great passion as a teacher in the arts.

Ida A. says, "My 2 young boys (now 11 and 8) have been working with Daria for over a year now. They went from not knowing how to guard their faces to winning PBSC matches! What I love most is my kids are always excited about the different teaching methods. They are never bored and happy to be learning more and more. She also works on plyometric techniques to build speed and agility. I myself did some self-defense/boxing classes with her as well. It was a great workout and really helped me out. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in working out with someone who makes every class fun and full of activities." Read more

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.
