The average cost of martial arts classes are usually dependent on several factors. These factors include geographic location, age of student, emphasis of instructor, and whether it is an independent school or other type of hosting organization like parks and recreation or health clubs.

However, recent surveys show the average cost of martial arts classes ranges from $80 to $150 or more per month. These prices are primarily driven by the cost of frequency, length and size of classes, facilities, insurance, utilities, advertising, payroll and other costs. Some of these costs are variable and can be controlled by the instructor, while other costs of doing business are fixed and the instructor has little control.

When searching out a martial arts school, price isn’t always the best place to start. How you relate to the instructor and the basic ‘fit’ of the martial arts style are much more important. However, costs can’t be ignored if you’re on any kind of fixed budget – and aren’t we all in some way!

So what you’ll usually find is that the average cost of martial arts will be somewhat similar with local martial arts schools, taking into consideration all . Taking the above numbers into consideration the, the average cost of a martial arts course in the United States is $110 per month. Multiply that times the 3 years many martial arts schools require (by the way, this is primarily to stabilize income and not necessarily the time needed for a student to advance to black belt) and you get a total cost of $3,960.

Compare that to the $79 per month rate of Karate Academy Online, for a total investment of $948, and you might wonder if the online course is worth it’s weight. The good news is that it is! That’s almost a $3,000 difference in cost. And even if you were to remain a student for $79 per month (which you wouldn’t because you’d have free access after completing your course), you’d still save over $1,1000.

You might expect me to say that, however, if we examine those things that create the most overhead for local martial arts schools, and therefore impacting what you pay significantly, then you’ll easily see that you get the same great instruction with our online martial arts course, just without all the pass through costs of rent, utilities, facilities cleaning, and more.
