Classes only once a week are not very effective in teaching martial arts or allowing you to reach your full potential. Just imagine doing aerobics or weight lifting once a week and see how long it takes to get in shape, lose weight, or get bigger, stronger, or bigger muscles. Unfortunately sometimes that may be all the time the instructor has available or the only time the room or floor space is open to use. Something is better than nothing though so perhaps you can supplement that with working out on your own or with other students. That also is easier to do if you are a mature, experienced student of some rank or have some of those type of students to work out with if you are a beginner. If this is the only class available to you because of where you live then once again-something is better than nothing. Prices range from anything like $25-$50 per month usually for something like this since it is only once per week.
Most good programs that want to turn out a good, knowledgeble, skilled student will offer classes four or five times a week and charge $75-$125 per month. You should plan on attending on average three times per week and also plan on putting in a 125% effort. The reason why I mention this is that it is better to work out three times a week and put in maximum effort rather than work out four or five times a week and just go through the motions. You will save money on gas, time in the long run, and develop your skills to a much higher level with a serious attitude and maximum effort.
Some of my more serious students that compete or fight at a high level attend classes four or five times per week, put in a 125% effort, and at least one or two of those days or evenings they attend multiple classes. Martial arts is like anything else in that you only get out of it what you put into it but if your schedule is such that you can only work out twice a week then once again something is better than nothing. I hope you find this helpful and I would shop around and see if there is not soemthing out there that meets more often that you might be happier with in the long run.

My granddaughter just took a trial in Tae Kwon Do. Now they want $390.00 for the First and Last Month then it's $130.00 a month. Any you are tied in for a year. Does this sound right to or is it over expensive. My granddaughter is 6 years old and loved it. But my daughter is a single parent and is already paying for before and after school daycare.

varies greatly depending on the size of the gym, amount of students, whether the instruction is in it for teaching or for money, location etc....i see things range from $50/month-$100 range, but there are some more. i pay $90/month for muay thai but its open almost all day 6days a week and i can train anytime its open. here i would think an ok price to pay for a something you only go to a few times a week for a few hours would be $50-$80
i would hope all places at very least have two classes a week, usually they have several throughout the week and you go to which ever one you can make. i suggest 3 or at least twice a week if possible

As a TKD School owner - it depends on the market (meaning where it is located), the size of the school and (hopefully) the credentials of the instructors.
At my school, we charge $65/month for 2 classes each week. This is intentionally on the low end in our market, which averages about $80, because I have almost no overhead, so I see no point charging and arm and a leg. We recently changed our tuition to reflect that I just earned my Master's Degree.
Hope that helps!

you can go twice a week or even once if you have a busy schedual.
obviously if you like it you may want to squueze in a 3 or 4 day week once in a while.
a good school should cost you about 1600 a year.
you can usually pay a downpayment and then a monthly payment.
its worth every penny.
