Cost Breakdown

As with most activities, there is a financial commitment to studying martial arts. Below is a general list of expenses you may encounter for the Raleigh class.

Activity/Item Description Cost
Class fee Current $40/month for Raleigh residents. $52/month for others
Gi This is the traditional uniform worn by martial artists and can be ordered through your instructor. If you wish to order it yourself, check with the instructor first to make sure you order the correct style. Children outgrow their gi and will periodically need new ones. $35.00
Belt tests For belts yellow through brown $60.00 each
Black belt tests The Southeast Region holds black belt tests every March at the Isle of Palms/Charleston, SC. Students test in front of at least two of the four Masters that are present. Although it is possible to drive to Charleston for the day (4 hr trip), most students prefer to arrive the day before. Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Estimated expense for travel (which includes hotel room for one night, food, and gas) is $200.00. Keep in mind that the test is divided into two parts and occur on two different dates meaning that you will need to travel twice to Charleston (alternatively, once to Augusta, GA and once to Charleston).
For 1st degree black = $270 + 10; 2nd degree black = 320 + 20; 3rd degree black = 370 + 30; 4th degree black = 320 + 40 (periodically these prices change, so always consult your instructor for the latest fee)
See description.
Various seminars and workouts These range in cost depending upon location and number of participants. $15.00 - $50.00
Tournament Registration fee is ca. $50 (family rates are available). Tee shirts are usually available for $20. Currently, we have one tournament every March in Charleston, SC. See above for comments regarding travel expenses to Charleston. It is strongly encouraged that you make it to at least one tournament before you test for your black belt. $50.00 (see description)
Camp An annual Summer Camp is held in Sterling, VA near Washington, DC. Ask the instructor for details -
