SOME PEOPLE SAY WE ARE CRAZY . . . WE PROBABLY ARE

CONTRACTS
We don't have them. Simply put, you are NOT bound to anything with us - you are here because you want to be and that's how we want it to be. We are over 120 members strong and growing, we don't need a waiver to keep you, the instructors, classes, and top notch facilities will do that. All we ask is that you complete a membership form.

FEES
What you should expect to pay at Southside Dojo?

• $25 Per Month for a dojo membership. Membership gives you access to all of the martial arts offered at Southside Dojo (with the exception of Yoga)
• Depending on the martial art that you will be practicing, you will need to participate in the insurance program that the art offers. The insurance covers liability and excessive medical costs, protecting you, the dojo, the instructors, and all the other students. We have tried to group arts together to reduce insurance costs.
  • for Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, or MMA a membership to USJA costs $40 per year
  • for Karate, Kobudo, or Tai Chi insurance costs are around $60 per year
  • All in all if you were to participate in every art you would pay approximately $100 per year
• Annual dues for a specific art are sometimes required. Check with the instructors on this when you speak with them - fees are typically well under $100 annually
• Promotion fees are required and vary widely depending on the art, but usually start between $10 - $20 for the first promotion.
• Some arts require a uniform otherwise known as a gi. Costs generally range between $50 and $100. We have some club accounts which offer discounts to our students or you can purchase your gi separately online.
