Contact the Judo schools in your area, they will answer all you questions. Call them, don't e-mail. It's much easier to get all the answers you want by calling them directly. It's a lot more difficult to get your answers by asking a bunch of people from different countries on the internet.

There is a national average that can be searched online. Also judo schools are difficult to come by. I would check out the ones in your area and then do a little background research on them. If everything you find out about them you like, just walk in and take a look around and speak to someone. Most schools will not give prices over the phone which is fine because you don't know what you are pricing over the phone so go see it and then ask.

I'm right there with you ian118118.

Those questions aren't something we can answer. Those are specific to the school.

I am there with you because I am also waiting to attend this Judo school locally. It's the only Judo in my area for many many miles. Best advice is to look, and call them to arrange a time. It's a good idea to show up and watch the class. Be sure to ask questions concerning contract, belt testing fees, the instructors credentials, if they compete, etc. Normally they'll give you 1 class free to see if you like it. If you go, you'll also be able to scope out the type of people. There's a local martial arts school in a bad neighborhood notorious for having people learn for the wrong reasons.

Find yourself A judo dojo and stop in and speak with an instructor. Ask him if u can watch a class to get a better feel for what u r wanting to learn. Then talk specifics. Money, buying the right type of gi, etc. Nothing to it but to do it:)
