First to answer a good teacher.
DO They know their lineage? who was their teacher and so on back to the founding father. IF they are a Master and are 25, NOT.
Classes can range all over the country depending on where you live. I ahve seen them free and good, and i have seen them at $35-250 a month. SEARCH the schools that are within you reach and research them as youwould buying a new car. Know what you are getting into. Do not be fooled by a bunch of trophies and promises. Asks to sit in watch a class or even partake a week to try.
then you will find a school that is for you.

The cost can vary depending on the club and the instructor. I pay £3.50 per session and an additional £18 annually to cover the insurance and membership to the ESA which is the governing body for my Karate association.
You should expect to pay around £20-£40 for your Gi (Karate suit also). Be wary of clubs offering a free Gi, membership or especially guarenteeing to get you to a certain level within a certain timeframe. This is not possible unless you are short-changing someone....AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!
Your instructor will and should show you their credentials, attachments and affiliations to the Karate governing bodies that approve them. They should also be a registered coach.
Hope this helps

Most here disagree with my views. But I believe all of us will agree on this one.
Walk into or call each one of your local schools. Ask the instructor how long will it take to be a black belt and how much will it cost?
If any of them try to answer your question with times and dollar figures. Just turn and walk out. You want an instructor who is capable and willing to teach you. You may never be a black belt.
Belts serve one purpose for me. They hold up my pants. I train to learn and to become better. I recomend you do the same. You will know when you meet your trainer. It will be obvious to you.

The price varies from school to school. fair pricing is usually between $60 to $100 dollars a month for a full time school.
usually the instructor will have the organizations they are under endorse them by their certifications and other endorsements.

Most instructirs that just care about teaching will charge between 50-75 a month. But they are a rare find. The dirtbags that are just in it for the money and care nothing about the teaching will charge 100 and up and there are different programs you can get into that will determine how long it takes to get your Black Belt

most will give you a couple of lessons for nothing,you should know by then if their half decent or just blowing their own trumpet.you learn more by listening than asking.as to fair pricing well i suppose it just depends if you think your paying for what your learning or not?

Depends, there are some teachers that cost very little but teaches greatly (they teach because they enjoy it). But there are some that teaches like **** and cost a great amount.
