The fact is it does depend on the school or Dojo. Its location, and most of all the instructor. There are some very important factors to look at before you consider the cost. 1. What kind of training does the instructor have? Just because you are great at math does not mean you would be a good math teacher. Having a Black Belt does not make you a good instructor. A good instructor should have some sort of training on HOW to teach. 2. Is the school part of a chain or independent? You will find a lot of difference in opinion on this question and it will have to be a personal choice as to what you should do. You are going to here the phrase "McDojo" a lot but here is my argument on this subject. While we all love the little mom and pop restaurants, how often do they close down? When was the last time you saw a McDonalds close? Over the past 30 years I have trained in four schools, two of which are no longer around. Guess which two were chains? So keep in mind, are you investing in a school that will be around long enough for you to reach Black Belt? 3. The area is also a factor. What does it cost to operate a business in your area. The rent, Electric, Gas, and most of all insurance has to be paid somehow.
The most honest answer I can give you is the average cost is anywhere from $99 per month to $200 per month at a PROFFESIONAL school. Less if it's part of the park and rec program in your area, the YMCA or someone who teaches part time at a local church or hall. Other price factors are Testing, Tournaments and other school events. The truth is about 90% of schools do charge for this and rates will vary. Just be sure to ask up front about this so there are no surprises. In the end Martial Arts Training can be one of the best things you do in your life. My top 3 moments over the past 37 years has been the birth of my two children and receiving my Black Belt.
