(Affiliation, insurance, hall fees) + (advertising, flyers, handouts) + (equipment procurement, replacement) + (transport costs) + (tax) + (your time) / (total number of students you expect)

 

I charge about $30/month per student for 2 days a week.

I've charged as little as FREE (I don't recommend that though), and I'm currently charging $40/month for 2 classes (2 hours)/week. I have (depends on the week) an average of 10-12 students at any given point.

 

I think what you charge depends on your situation and experience. The more expenses and experience, the more you should charge.

 

If you have high overhead with rent, utilities, etc..then you need to charge more. If you are a new instructor with low overhead, I'd charge less for a few years and raise it a bit later on.

 

Personally, I teach out of a converted single car garage attached to the back of my home, use limited equiptment (heavy bag, foam shield and some foam gloves, a set of bogu gear and a canvas makiwara on the wall) so I don't have a lot of overhead, but I've been teaching since 1978, so have a bit of experience at this.

I think that martial arts are way under priced becaus of what they provide the character benefits look at health club dues martilal arts provides so much more than a health club. Charge what is fair for you services

I pay $80.00/month, in a mostly upper middle class area. This is pretty typical in this area for "traditional" dojo. The McDojos start around $150.00/month and then raise the prices for Master Clubs, etc... usually averaging abour $250.00/month. :-? :o
