Dojo Fees
Yes, I know, the bit nobody likes talking about but having looked at other martial arts sites it is difficult to tell how much you pay for training and whether there are any hidden fees i.e. membership fees, national affilation fees; then i realised it was difficult to tell from our site too. So now I'm rectifying it. Here goes-
Membership fee- An annual fee payable on 1st April
Adult £25 Junior £12.50
This fee is chargable pro-rata depending what time of the year you join according to the chart below
| Date Joined | Adult Fee | Junior Fee |
| 1 April- 30 June | £25 | £12.50 |
| 1 July- 30 September | £21 | £10.50 |
| 1 October- 31 December | £15 | £7.50 |
| 1 January- 31 March | £8 | £4 |
We didn't charge a membership fee until recently, however, due to taking on a permanent dojo we all decided that the fairest way for all members to pay a portion of the rent was to introduce a membership fee. So that's where the money goes- Dojo rent.
Affilation Fee and Insurance Annual Fee
Adult £15.50 Junior £12.50
We have our grades recognised through Bushido Za Zen International Society (they do a lot more than that as well).Anyone practicing a martial art must be insured and this is included in the single fee.
Mat Fees for each 2 hour training session
Members
Adult £3 Junior £2
Non-members
Adult £4 Junior £3
Grading Fees
Kyu Gradings £5
Dan Gradings £10
So there you have it. For a flat fee of £ 40.50 per year and a variable training cost (depending on how keen you are) you can come along, get fitter, meet new people, learn something and have fun. 10 times cheaper than the Gym and much more interesting.
