Your karate questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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
  • Teaches goal-setting and perseverance

  • Better balance and coordination
  • 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 son has gone to MAI North for almost 5 years and he loves it! He started by attending the after school program, and then began taking Taekwondo lessons. He also attended the summer camps for 3 years. In that time he’s learned so much about responsibility, leadership, hard work and character, and has found a sport he loves in Taekwondo. I’ve always felt safe and comfortable leaving him in the care of Dave and Andrea and they’ve become such an important positive influence in his life over the years.

This class offers beneficial and effective training in unique skill sets. I went into this class not equipped or feeling confident in how to effectively protect myself. I’ve been in this class for 4 years now and am continually learning new techniques. The instructors are very knowledgeable and humble in their abilities. The instructors are also easy to learn under. The importance of mindset and ability are both incorporated. Much grace is given to new and continuing students alike. This class exhibits a great learning environment. I am grateful for how this class has shaped my outlook on life and for the relationships that have been built around learning.
