What Taekwondo and Martial Arts Classes Cost in Singapore (2026)

20 October 2026 · 15 min read

TL;DR – The Quick Version

A year of weekly taekwondo costs $1,771.60 at Kickmatics before grading fees and at least $3,390 at Trifecta; karate clubs start at $1,183. Only 2 of the 13 taekwondo schools on Jungle publish a lesson fee, and the five that say how often they grade all test every three months, at $50 to $250 a test where priced. Uniforms cost $65 to $140, sparring gear up to $350, and a national competition $76.30. Browse martial arts classes on Jungle.

Only 2 of the 13 taekwondo schools listed on Jungle publish what a lesson costs. Kickmatics charges $42 a lesson, less on longer terms, and Trifecta $250 a month for one class a week. The other 11 quote on request. Yet the five that say how often they grade all test every three months, and each test is paid on top. That is why taekwondo fees in Singapore are hard to compare: the lesson is only part of the bill.

How we checked. On 20 October 2026 we read the fee page, FAQ or rate card of every taekwondo, karate, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and wushu school listed on Jungle: 34 schools, 16 of which publish a fee. Prices are quoted as each school prints them, with its date where it gives one. Per-class figures divide a package only where the school states the class count. Community club fees come from onePA's own course pages, read the same day.

Taekwondo comes first because most schools teach it and most parents search for it. Karate, judo, BJJ and wushu follow, with the same checks. For class times and trials at the youngest ages, see our guide to martial arts for 4 to 6 year olds.

Taekwondo and Martial Arts Fees at a Glance

What a class costs at the schools that publish fees, by type of class. All prices were read on each school's own site on 20 October 2026.

Type	Price	What it buys
Community club, onePA	$40 to $210 a course	4 to 24 sessions; half cost $10 a session or less
Taekwondo school	$28.90 to $42 a lesson	Kickmatics, by the block; Trifecta $250 a month
Karate	$25 to $30 a class	passes; clubs charge $90 to $120 a month
Judo	$35 to $45 a class	four classes a month
BJJ	$36 to $54.95 a class	passes; unlimited $249 to $410 a month
Wushu	$40.88 to $57.20 a class	credit packs, 1.5-hour classes
Grading	$50 to $250 a test	every three months at most schools
Uniform	$65 to $140	dobok or gi, the first one
Sparring gear	up to $350	full set, from green belt
Competition	$76.30	national championship entry

Three things stand out. Taekwondo is the least open of the five arts about price. Karate is the most open: all four schools on Jungle publish fees. And grading is the cost that comes back: four times a year at every taekwondo and karate school that says how often.

The community club line is a benchmark, not a recommendation. onePA listed 133 taekwondo courses on 20 October 2026, from $40 for four sessions to $210 for eight. Half cost $10 a session or less at the PAssion Card rate. The course fee is rarely the whole cost: 33 listings mention a uniform on top, usually paid to the trainer, at $85 to $180 where a price is given.

A Year of Weekly Classes, Priced

A monthly fee, a 16-class pass and a 12-lesson term cannot be compared directly, so here is one yardstick: a year of one class a week, 48 classes or 12 months, with one-time fees included. Grading is added only where the school publishes the fee.

School	Year one	How it adds up
Shitoryu Kai, karate	$1,183	$90 a month, $38 membership, $65 uniform; grading extra
Fight Academy, karate	$1,250	five 10-class packs
Karate Academy	$1,656 to $1,676	three 16-class passes, $50 admin, gi, up to four gradings
Ascend, judo	$1,680	$140 a month
Kickmatics, taekwondo	$1,771.60	48 lessons, $50 to join, $8 name; grading extra
SKA, karate	$1,800	$120 a month, $40 membership, four gradings; gi extra
Carpe Diem, BJJ	$1,860	50 classes on passes
Xuan Sports, wushu	$2,049.20	48 lessons on credits, $32.70 admin
SUL, judo or BJJ	$2,160	$180 a month for four classes
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu	$2,530	a year unlimited, gi included, $30 to join
Martial House, wushu	$2,581.28	two Silver packs, with membership
Gracie Barra, BJJ	$2,888.60 to $2,938.60	a year unlimited, $50 to $100 to join
Fortitude, BJJ	$3,120	48 weeks, no joining fee
Trifecta, taekwondo	from $3,390	$250 a month, $150 to join, four gradings
Elite, judo or BJJ	$3,534	a year unlimited, paid upfront

The spread is three to one. The cheapest year, karate at a club, costs a third of a year of unlimited judo or BJJ at Elite. The unlimited plans at the bottom of the table cost more because they cover every class the school runs; a child who trains twice a week gets twice the classes for the same fee.

For taekwondo, a year at Trifecta costs almost twice as much as at Kickmatics, and Kickmatics' total does not yet include grading, because it does not publish the fee. Ask for it before you compare: STA, Trifecta and The Karate Academy each charge $50 to $60 for a colour-belt test, and all three grade four times a year.

Trifecta Martial Arts

Kembangan · Kembangan MRT (EW6), 480 m

Taekwondo and BJJGrading every 3 months$250 a month

Trifecta is the only taekwondo school on Jungle that prints its grading fees: $60 to $250 a test, depending on the belt, every three months. Its FAQ is as plain about the rest. Uniform, sparring gear and grading all sit outside the membership, and a full sparring set, $350, is compulsory from green-tip belt. Each colour belt needs at least 12 hours of training before a child can grade.

Price: $250 a month for one class a week (taekwondo and BJJ kids only), plus a one-time $150 registration fee. Unlimited from $300 a month on the price page; the FAQ says $150 to $250 a month by belt, so ask which applies. Grading $60 to $250. Sparring gear $350. Uniform price not published.
Trial: $50, refunded against your sign-up fees if you join (first trial only).

Holland Village and Great World · 2 studios on Jungle

Tiny Tots from 3Three-month termsGrading each term

Taeseong charges by three-month term, the same fee at every age, and grades at the end of each term, in February, May, August and November. A child needs 10 lessons in the term to grade. Green, red and black-tip belts need 20 and must train twice a week, so the bill rises at those belts. Four more studios, in Bukit Timah, Alexandra, River Valley and Novena, are not yet on Jungle.

Price: Taeseong Taekwondo does not publish its term fees online. Contact them for current prices. Published extras: $50 registration per child, a $50 refundable deposit (two weeks' notice), and $10 for late payment.

Grading Fees and How Often Gradings Run

Grading is the fee that keeps coming back. A child who passes every test moves up a belt each quarter, and pays each time. Here is what the schools that publish say.

School	Fee a test	How often
STA	$50; $60 at studios	Every quarter
Trifecta	$60 to $250 by belt	Every 3 months
Kickmatics	Not published	Four a year
Taeseong	Not published	End of each term
KTMA	Not published	Quarterly
Karate Academy	$60, belt included	Not stated
SKA, karate	$80, 2025 fee	About every 3 months
Shitoryu Kai	Not published	Every 3 months
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu	In the membership	Not stated

Black belt costs more. STA charges $100 for a junior first-dan grading and $200 for a senior one. Its colour belts run from White 9 to Red 1, nine gradings in all. A child who passes each first time pays $450 in colour-belt fees and $100 at black belt: $550 in grading alone, plus $60 a year in STA registration.

How long that takes depends on the school. Johan says many students reach junior black belt, for under-15s, within four years. SKA says black belt in karate typically takes three to three and a half years of regular classes.

Minimum classes before a grading

Every school that publishes rules sets a floor, and missing it means waiting for the next test, three months later.

Taeseong: 10 lessons in the term; 20, at twice a week, for green, red and black-tip belts.
KTMA: 10 group classes; 20 for green belts, 10 of them sparring, and 20 for red and black-stripe belts.
Trifecta: 12 hours of training for each colour belt, 24 at red and black tip and 48 for first dan, plus sparring hours from green tip, on a requirements sheet dated 2019.
STA: three months of continuous training from white to blue belt and six at red, lesson fees paid up to date, and no grading until two months after registering. There is no refund or new date if your child misses the test.
ILDO: a set number of sparring sessions from green belt, and 20 regular classes at red and black tip.
The Karate Academy: 10 training sessions since the last grading.
SKA: 75% attendance in the three months before.

Uniforms and Sparring Gear

A first uniform costs $65 to $140 at the schools that print a price. Gear is the second, larger step, and it usually arrives at green belt. ILDO says the Singapore Taekwondo Federation's rules require guards for sparring and gradings from green belt, and KyungHee asks green belts and above to grade in arm, shin and groin guards.

Kickmatics: Adidas uniform $135 and name embroidery $8; $50 off the uniform on a three-month sign-up, free on six months or more.
STA: starter packages $130, $200 or $320, against usual prices of $230, $330 and $450. Bought separately: uniform $140, head and face guard $70, gloves $45, boots $45, kick mitt $40, groin guard $35.
Trifecta: full sparring set $350, compulsory from green tip. It recommends buying the taekwondo uniform through the school, because its supplier's are federation-approved; the price is not published.
The Karate Academy: gi $70 to $90.
Shitoryu Kai: kids' uniform $65 a set.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu: kids' gi $120, belt $15, rash guard and shorts $40 each, gi rental $10 a session. The gi is free with a year paid upfront.
Gracie Barra and Fortitude: gi rental $15 and $14 a session.

At community clubs the uniform is paid to the trainer, at $85 to $180 in the onePA listings that give a price, sometimes with a kicking pad or shoes.

Competition Fees

Competitions are optional, and the national ones are cheap to enter. The Singapore Taekwondo Federation charged $76.30 a child, GST included, for its 2026 National Poomsae Championships in August, and $152.60 for a sibling or family pair. Its age groups start at 4 to 6, with a white-belt event, so even beginners can take part.

Its kyorugi (sparring) championships in September cost the same $76.30 but are open only from green belt. Competitors bring their own shin, forearm and groin guards, gloves, electronic scoring socks and a moulded mouthguard, and the youngest groups wear headgear with a face shield.

Entries go through the school, not the parent, and the school may charge more than the published fee. Trifecta's FAQ says organisers charge schools extra and it passes those costs on. SUL charges a competition day with a coach present as one drop-in session, $48. Kickmatics' 2026 calendar lists seven competitions, from the Han Championship in March to the Daedo Championship in December.

Trial Classes

Most schools let a child try before you pay, and the trial is often the only price a school publishes.

Free: Johan, IL JIN, Gaonhae, KTMA, KyungHee (toddlers and primary pupils), The Karate Academy, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Gracie Barra (Singapore residents), Ascend, Elite and Shaolin Club.
Paid, refunded or offset if you join: Kickmatics $20, Shitoryu Kai $20, Fight Academy $30 for two classes, Trifecta $50.
Paid: SUL $25, Xuan Sports $32.70, Elite $58 for two weeks, Carpe Diem $59 for a week, Ascend $188 for a month.

Kickmatics' trial is a private 30-minute session with a coach, not a seat in a class. Ask which you are getting, because a private trial shows you the coach, not the group your child will join.

Karate

All four karate schools listed on Jungle publish their fees, which no other art here manages. Two are clubs with a monthly fee and an annual membership; two sell class packs.

The Karate Academy

Mountbatten · Mountbatten MRT (CC7), 320 m

Grading costs $60 and includes the new belt if your child passes, after at least 10 sessions since the last test. The academy may turn down a grading application.

Price: From 15 January 2026: 4 classes for $120 within 45 days ($30 a class), 8 for $228 within 80 days ($28.50), 16 for $432 within 150 days ($27). Drop-in $35. One-time $50 admin fee. Gi $70 to $90. Grading $60.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

BJJ schools publish more than taekwondo schools, but most sell unlimited memberships, so the price is a month rather than a class. Grading works differently too: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu includes belt promotions in the membership, and Trifecta promotes BJJ students when the instructor judges them ready, with no fixed calendar.

What age can my child start taekwondo?

Most taekwondo schools on Jungle take children from 3; community club courses that state an age mostly start at 5 to 7.

Seven schools run a class from 3: Taeseong's Tiny Tots, Johan's toddler class (3 to 4.5, younger by assessment), ILDO, IL JIN, LK, HanKuk and Taekwondonomics. Kickmatics and Gaonhae start at 4. On onePA, 33 of the 39 community club taekwondo courses that state an age set the minimum at 5, 6 or 7.

A younger start does not mean a cheaper class. Taeseong charges the same term fee at every age, and its Tiny Tots class runs 45 minutes against an hour for older children. Competitions start young too: the federation's poomsae championship has an age group for 4 to 6 year olds. Our guide to martial arts for 4 to 6 year olds has class times for that age at 39 schools.

What Catches Parents Out

A monthly fee with no class count is not a price. SKA's $120, Shitoryu Kai's $90 and Fortitude's $300 a month do not say how many classes they buy. Ask how many, guaranteed.
Grading is recurring, and usually unpublished. Ask the fee for each belt before you join. At STA a missed grading is not refunded, and paying late or cancelling costs $25.
Gear arrives at green belt. Trifecta's full set is $350, and several schools require guards for sparring and gradings from green belt.
Joining fees and deposits. Trifecta $150, Gracie Barra $100, Kickmatics, The Karate Academy and Taeseong $50 (Taeseong adds a $50 deposit), KTMA a $100 deposit, Xuan $32.70, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu $30. Carpe Diem, Ascend and Fortitude charge none.
Packs expire. SUL's lapse at the end of the month, The Karate Academy's after 45 to 150 days, and Xuan's credits get no extension for exams. Carpe Diem's never expire.
Some price lists are old. Gracie Barra's is dated 1 January 2023, Kickmatics' fee sheet 2024 and SKA's grading fees 2025. Ask whether they still apply.

How to Choose

Start with what your child wants to do, then the budget.

Trying it out: use a free trial first. Eleven schools here offer one.
Lowest yearly cost: a karate club or a class pack, $1,183 to $1,680 for a year of weekly classes.
Serious about belts or competing: budget for four gradings a year, gear at green belt and $76.30 for each national competition.
Two or more classes a week: an unlimited BJJ or judo membership costs less per class than a pack.

Before you pay, ask three questions and get the answers in writing. How many classes does this fee cover? What does a grading cost at each belt, and how often? What must we buy, and when?
