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.

Why take karate classes?

Karate classes provide a variety of benefits for both children and adults:

  • Increases confidence and self-discipline
  • Improves strength, endurance, and flexibility

  • Improves cardio health and stamina
  • Improves social skills and teamwork
  • Teaches self-defense skills

How long are karate classes?

Kids' karate classes are typically 30 to 60 minutes long, depending on the kids' age. Adult karate classes range from 1 to 2 hours in length.

My 3 kids (2boys/1girl) frequently take lessons with Owner and Teacher Paul Zambuto at Mma Blast Kickboxing in Franklin Square and let me tell you that they absolutely love him bc he always makes sure they leave happy that they came that day (they also always leave tired which makes it easier for my wife and I for the rest of the day). Paul just seems to have a special way to get the most out of everybody he teaches so I always know I am making the best choice driving 30 minutes to have my kids learn from him instead of going to another local academy and teacher that is more convenient for my wife and I...but unfair to my kids who deserve the best.
