Member dues & Things

We follow the tradition of offering membership for dues, rather than fees for instruction, and believe that financial hardship should not be a barrier to training in the martial arts. A sliding scale membership model is available. Please select a monthly dues amount that does not present meaningful financial hardship for you.

You can make it easy and set up a recurring charge so you don’t have to think about it. One of my old teachers said that’s “a zen thing.” She is very wise.

Gi’s are $45. Shorin Ryu patches are $5. Red or Green books are $10.

It should go without saying, but there are no contracts, no “set-up fee” schemes, and no “mandatory” training apparel that you have to buy from the dojo. There is no rank-test price escalator, either, though you’ll pay to test for black belt, should you do so, because those belts are expensive and take a long time to get here from Okinawa if we get the cheap shipping.
