How much should I charge for grappling lessons?
Depends on several things, such as:





Your qualifications,


Your CERTIFICATIONS (a biggie),


Are you teaching an internationally recognized style,


The local demand for what you are teaching,


How good a teacher you are,


Overhead expenses,


What the competition is charging for similar lessons.

Reply:You might want to start out by teaching at the YMCA for cheap just to get yourself a following and to get some teaching experience. Report It

Reply:Several years ago I studied at an school run by Horian and Royce Gracie, classes were $50.00 per month BUT private lessons were $300.00 per hour. But that was Royce. How good you are can greatly appreciate people's willingness to pay a higher rate! Good Luck
Reply:In general classes are $50 to $80 a month unless they are private one on one lessons. Then it depends on what you value your time at. I usually charge $35 for a one hour private lesson. My students get their money's worth and I have had no complaints and many private lessons.

Reply:Not one person so far has asked if you if you have


calculated your "Burden Rate".


This is "Business 101"!


This "And NOTHING Else", is how you arrive at an hourly


rate!


This takes less than 10 minutes and "Only You" have the figures to do the calculations.


"All" the other answers here so far are wrong.


Notice that they state "What THEY Charge" This is not an


answer to your question:"What should "I" charge"


Get a piece of paper,spend 10 minutes,and you will have your answer.

I take it you are Mr. Cox, the guy who Iha KO'd in 30 seconds of the 1st round in 2005?





A blue belt in BJJ I take it if you want to teach grappling.





Well, you can charge as much as you want but you might want to take a look around and base your price off availability. In Long Beach there are ton of great schools for BJJ and grappling. And the thing you always have to consider is the value of what you can teach. If some 10th Planet BJJ blue belt comes in and tools ya, then that obviously will affect your bottom line.





I would say 50 bucks a month for small groups, for someone of your caliber, even that is pressing it as someone can probably get trained for 70 bucks from a BJJ black belt in that area.





Privates go a lot higher, but that is usually because you are buying the time of someone who is worth it.





What was your amatuer record? I would probably advertise off that, and work on getting a little higher grade than blue belt, those are a dime a dozen. Not sure I would highlight a pro career of 0-1 with a 1st round loss as a credential.





Good luck with your endevour though!
Reply:As a blue belt you have to realize that yourself have a long road to learn, and some people might not be willing to pay alot due to the fact that blue wouldn't be considered advanced. Regardless, you don't need to be a black belt or a grandmaster in order to guide/teach people, but you must be humble about it for the reason stated above.





Usually instructors charge $55 to $70 for a private lesson, I'd suggest you charge $30 to $50 as to get new business, and the cost could be split amont the group (considering is small, maybe four,five people).





If you want to make decent moneny, you need a certificate, it'd be an investment.
Reply:Depends if u doin it on a regular bases or different days of the week for acouple hours at a time.
Reply:depends if you're trying to make a living on it or not. honestly, you're not a black or even brown belt. it also depends how many times a week you're putting into teaching. i would say $25-$50 if once a week, if any more than that, $50-$75. private lessons, that's to your disgression.
