Hey! I’m back again this time in the legendary popular form of martial arts” taekwondo”. Well, here I will be roughly explaining what it is all about then go forward and talk about the cost of the taekwondo classes. Please note that I am basing this article on researching this.
Let us start small by knowing the meaning of taekwondo. Taekwondo is a very popular form of martial arts, it is a scientific Korean traditional martial art. This form of martial arts teaches a lot more than physical fighting abilities. It teaches discipline and shows ways of increasing our life and spirit by training our body and mind. This art has spread all across the whole world and is practiced by men in all demographics.
Taekwondo has become a global sport that has already earned an international reputation and still stands among the official games in the Olympics. Taekwondo is commonly taught to children because it provides striking in a safe and controlled environment. Most parents want to put their child in at least one sport, especially this one but the problem is knowing how much is going to cost. Even adults want to learn this sport either for self-defense or discipline. The main reason for this article is to find out the cost of taekwondo classes but we will be taking a detour first that is to find out the benefits of taekwondo.
Benefits of Taekwondo
There are many benefits to learning taekwondo both health, mental, and physical-wise. I will be listing some here;
- Stamina
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Balance
- Posture
- Increased Confidence
- Improved self-esteem
- Improved muscle tone and appearance
- Focus
- Concentration levels
- Self-discipline
Cost of Taekwondo for Kids
Taekwondo is a famous activity for kids worldwide because of this most taekwondo schools will provide classes for your kids. Needlessly say, the classes will be brought down to prevent injuries because safety is the number one priority. There would be fewer classes for kids like they will be having classes like 2-3 days per week compared to adults.
Due to the research, I found out there are different amounts from different centers so I would be giving up a range price. Kids’ classes would be costing from a range of $20-$70, I know this is a wide range but it should be within this price range. The price differs depending on the gym or center. Mostly the gyms are held at a school or hall rather than their building.
Cost of Taekwondo for Adults
Adults have to pay more than children mostly because they have more classes. The classic amount cost per month for an adult range from $100-$150. Even though this may seem pricey the major factor here is the increase in the number of classes. Let’s do a small calculation for some gyms or centers adults have about 5 classes per month, that is they have about 20 classes per month. If you are paying $140 per month that means you are paying $7 per class, you see it is a good deal. Some centers schedule only 3-4 classes and the classes can be priced up to $10, if you close it is not that expensive for training that is for over an hour in each class. It also helps in one’s motivation to train as much as possible when you look at how much you are paying and might pay more when the prices increases.
We will now be talking about which one is much better whether it is the monthly cost or it’s the yearly cost. Most of the gyms or centers much prefer to charge an individual per month. You will be getting a discount if you pay for an entire month than just paying for just one class. If you pay for an entire year you will get a bigger discount than when you are just paying for just a month. For instance, you can get a full month’s discount when paying for a year. Note this should only be thought about if you are going to be dedicated and not after a month or so and you then quit, you should do it if you are serious. It is very advisable to pay for a month first or go for a trial lesson to taste the waters to see if you can stay committed to it in the long run. It is a bad sign if the gym tries to pressure you to pay long-term.
In conclusion
Taekwondo is a very good sport and if interested you should not only look at the cost but also look at what you would be gaining from it too. Overall it costs $20-$70 for kids per month while for adults it is up to $100-$150. When deciding the price should be a part of your decision but not the only factor in your decision. Well, I have explained it for you to understand. See you soon.
Questions

It depends on the gym; some will offer a discount when accepting two or more kids but some don’t. Talk about it with the manager or teacher.
- Can I get a discount for the trial classes?
You can get it but it depends on the gym but most of them don’t give discounts on trial classes because they are already reduced the prices of their classes.
