You asked the right question, and almost nobody will answer it on a website. Here is what we found when we looked, everything that moves the price at any school, everything Forge publishes, and the questions to ask any school, ours included, so the number you are finally quoted makes sense.
What do martial arts classes cost in Naples?
On October 22, 2026, we read the public websites of eleven martial arts schools in and around Naples to see who posts a membership price. None does. One school prints $200+ per month beside its name on its home page; the rest ask you to fill in a form, book a trial, or call. At Forge Athletics the first class is free, the Forge Starter is four classes for $99 or $129 with gloves, and monthly memberships run from $119 to $399 per 4 weeks depending on how often you train, which is $25 to $30 a class.
Each school's public website, read on October 22, 2026. What a school says on its own site, in its own words; nothing here is a judgment of any school, and offers change, so check the school's page on the day.
- Team Third Law Academy: "$200+ per month" in its own comparison table, beside "$ ???" for other schools. Invites you in with a "30 Day FREE Trial".
- Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Naples: no price. "Your first week is free."
- Premier Martial Arts: no price. "1 trial lesson & karate uniform included", an online offer.
- Rupert's Karate Academy: no price. A form for an "exclusive web special".
- Naples Family Martial Arts: no price. A form for an "exclusive web special".
- Integrity Martial Arts (ATA): no price. A form, "view our schedule & pricing options", with a countdown timer.
- Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Naples: no price. "Check out our Special Offers".
- Evolution MMA: no price. A "Join Now" button.
- Boundless Martial Arts: no price on its brand page. "Choose location".
- Academy of Martial Arts (napleskarate.com): its page loaded blank, so nothing could be read.
- Global BJJ (global1bjj.com): its address now shows a parked-domain page, so nothing could be read.
So the honest market answer is: in Naples, the price is something you learn after you walk in or hand over your phone number. When Google's map assistant was asked this question about Forge in September 2026, it answered with another company's prices, a business in Texas with the same name. That is the gap this page exists to close.
What moves the price of martial arts classes?
Five things decide what a family pays for martial arts, at any school.
1. How many classes a week, and whether there is a ceiling. Most schools sell a number of classes per week or per month, with an unlimited option at the top. The per-class cost falls as the count rises, and an unlimited membership is the best value only for a student who actually trains three or more times a week. Ask what happens if your child comes twice one week and four times the next.
2. The length of the commitment. A twelve-month contract and a month-to-month membership can carry the same monthly figure and be very different purchases. Ask how a membership renews, how much notice a cancellation takes, and whether there is a fee to freeze it for a summer trip or an injury.
3. What is bundled, and what is bought later. Uniforms, gloves, shin guards, and testing or belt fees can be inside the price, outside it, or hidden until the first promotion. When Google's map assistant was asked in August 2026 what reviewers complain about at Naples martial arts schools, it said they frequently complain about sitting through a sales pitch or an introductory lesson just to get basic tuition pricing, and about hidden testing, belt and gear fees. That is its summary; it named no school and quoted no review. Ask for the full list of what a year costs, including every belt.
4. How the school lets you try it. A free class, a free week, a free month, a paid trial with a uniform: each is a real offer and each says something about how the school sells. A longer free period usually comes with a membership conversation at the end of it. Ask when the conversation about price happens, and whether anything is signed before the first class.
5. Who is on the mat. The price pays for coaches. A class of twenty children with one instructor and a class of eight with two coaches can cost the same per month and are not the same product. Ask how many coaches are on the floor in your child's class, and who they are by name.
What does Forge Athletics publish about its prices?
Everything that does not depend on which class you join, in one place.
- Your first class is free. Any program, any age, nothing to buy before it. Loaner gloves are available, and comfortable clothes are enough.
- The Forge Starter. Four coached group classes in the program that fits you, with or without a pair of Forge boxing gloves to keep, used within four weeks of your first attended class. It is $99 for the four classes, or $129 with the gloves, and both versions are posted on the Starter page with their terms. It is for new students only, one per person, with no automatic membership afterward.
- Monthly memberships are available for every age, sold by the number of classes you enroll to attend every 4-week cycle, from $119 to $399 depending on how often you train. That is $25 to $30 a class. Which tier fits depends on how many days a week you can actually train, and that is a two-minute conversation at the desk or by text, not a sales pitch.
- Events are priced on their own pages. School-break camps, the Women's Self-Defense Weekend Workshop, Parents' Night Out and Buddy Day each carry their price and their dates on the events calendar, and you register online.
- Memberships renew every 4 weeks. No long-term contracts. Cancel with 3 days' written notice before your renewal.
- No stripe fees and no belt fees. The one exam with a fee is the black belt exam, which covers its advanced preparation and the embroidered belt.
- Gear is sold at the front desk, and nothing is required before you enroll. Kids wear a Forge shirt or rash guard with Forge shorts or gi pants, or plain grey or black sweatpants with no zipper, and need boxing gloves for class; teens add MMA gloves and shin guards; the adult kickboxing classes need boxing gloves only.
- Family discounts are available on memberships when more than one member of the same household trains.
- Who coaches, and how many. Kids classes run with two or three coaches on the mat and never more than 18 students; Little Dragons never more than 8. The numbers are on the kids page and in our guide to choosing a school.
Why we give you the range and not a single number: every class on the schedule for your age group counts toward the same membership, so the tier that fits depends on how often you can actually train. A single number on this page would either be the top tier, which most families do not need, or the bottom tier, which a child training four days a week would outgrow in a month. Come train once for free, tell us your week, and we will show you the option that fits.
