Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
Additionally, martial arts classes would be a personal expense, and not a job-related expense, unless it was mandatory by your employer. (In which case, they should pay -- talk to your union.)
