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

Wesleys Tae Kwon Do studios
Rachel T.
This is by far the best martial arts studio in the DFW. They focus on teaching a fundamental style of Tang Soo Do that is historically accurate and well structured. It is a safe environment where students are taught technique and control, rather than how to beat someone up like other schools. Additionally, Sa Bom Nim, teaches his students respect, self control, good manners, how to focus on the task at hand, and to complete whatever task they have committed to. I would never have left if it weren't for having to move halfway way across the state.

I've been practicing boxing with Coach Tino and I can feel myself learning and growing physically and mentally. He will work with you at your pace but pushes you to reach that next step. Every practice I can do a little more than the last and I learn something new to incorporate every time. Coach Tino lives by his message of perfect practice = perfect performance and wants you to achieve that as well. If you want to get in shape or build confidence, it may not be easy at first but you'll start to see the results if you stick with it. Great guy, great program!
Perfect Practice = Perfect Performance

I took Mike's self defense class and gained so much from it. As a woman, I felt more vulnerable and didn't want to become a victim. He gave me the skills necessary to defend myself and get out of a dangerous situation quickly. Mike is a great teacher. He broke the concepts down to their simplest form and worked with me until I really got it. I feel so much more confident in my ability to handle myself in unwanted situations.
