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.

Patrick is an excellent teacher, very patient and explains the process clearly. His attention to detail and form really built my confidence as I learned movement and skill.

Tino has forgotten more boxing wisdom and skill then I will ever learn. He’s quick to correct when you’re wrong and even quicker to praise when doing it right. He will push you to find what you didn’t even know you had inside you. Highly recommend.
