Jennifer C. says, "Jkeys is a great coach. He believes in his students and to me this is important because when we start out we don’t always believe in ourselves. He is very knowledgeable from jujitsu, MMA, wrestling, boxing, and kickboxing to name a few. If you have a injury our areas that are weak he helps to strengthen those areas as well. He is detailed and informs you why we do things a certain way and if done wrong what the outcome will be. He exudes confidence into each one of us. Since working with him for the past five months I have seen great results. This is one of the best decisions I have made. As long as he’s coaching I will forever be apart of his team. If you have a chance to work with him you will not be disappointed. " Read more

I have been into the art of kickboxing for the past 9 years and I teach my students to discover themselves in the art of kickboxing, discovering their own unique style and making them spontaneous, developing great reflex and great physique and stamina through series of an intense skills/technique training routine. "I teach you to flow like water" What I enjoy about the art is the fact that it gives me chance to help people I teach to discover their hidden potentials and I also have passion for the art..... Being able to make the body move so spontaneous and keeping fit....

Jeannie S. says, "Master Pia is a mentor for ladies of all ages. I remember when to USA karate and fitness I saw a picture of a kick boxer and I said "I want to look just like her". I was surprised the first time wh n I met Master Perez and I was her!! She is an amazing instructor, business women, and a really good person.

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.
