Your karate questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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.

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
  • Improves focus and concentration
  • Better balance and coordination
  • Improves cardio health and stamina
  • Improves social skills and teamwork
  • Teaches self-defense skills

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.

Yes, karate has weight classes categorized by age and gender. The World Karate Federation (WKF) recognizes five weight classes in competition, while the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognizes three weight classes:

  • Men – up to 67 kg
  • Men – 67.1 kg to 75 kg
  • Men – over 75 kg
  • Women – up to 55 kg
  • Women – 55.1 kg to 61 kg
  • Women – over 61 kg

Follow these tips to find the best karate schools near you:

  • Look for a reputable dojo that focuses on karate rather than a mixed martial arts gym.
  • Research the instructors' competition record and reputation.
  • Read dojo and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the school offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the dojo in person to confirm it is clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free trial class to ensure the school is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before making any payments.

Ask these questions to ensure you join the best karate dojo for you:

  • How much do your classes cost?
  • Do you offer a free trial class?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • How many students do you have?
  • How many students are in a typical class?
  • What should I wear to class?
  • How often should I practice outside of class?
  • Do your students and instructors compete regularly?
  • Do you charge for belt promotions? If so, how much?
  • How often do you clean your mats?

Reviews for St Louis karate classes

Recent success stories from people in the St Louis area.

I began training under Jermaine Andre' years ago with my family with intentions to get into shape. Soon we were learning great self defense techniques, loosing weight, and building muscle. My daughter has learned, respect, discipline, and self confidence through his youth program. Not only that she proved her skills by winning the championship at the Muay Thai classic World Tournament. If you are ready to get in shape, loose some weight, learn some self defense, or even become a champion Jermaine is the one to guide you RIGHT!

I’ve done strength training and body building training with Justin. And not that I’m a Mr. Olympia, but I’ve been doing both on my own for 25+ years. But wanted to work with Justin to get more precise and growth in both areas, although not to get bigger per say, but stronger, more complete and balanced. Justin is OUTSTANDING. He works all body parts...and each with concentration...both in # of sets and always 8-10 reps per set. Great as gets you the reps but also it’s the perfect automatic guide to when you can increase the weight of that particular excersise. Justin also has incredible attention to detail on form and technique which is critical. I thought I was good at both, but have gotten much better with his not only guidance but watching me as I’m doing the set...and he’ll not critique me, but always to get better. Finally Justin does tailors everything to where I am at...and it’s never about you sets being too light or not being strong...it’s always find the baseline for you on every type of set and each set...again based on being able to do 8-10 reps each set. P.S. Justin does what most overlook and not do...great warm up with weights. I cannot recommend Justin enough to train anyone at any level. Dead serious.
