Membership Dues
Membership at Tacoma Aikikai
Dojo membership opens the door to unlimited monthly training for adults and teens, and program-specific classes for kids. Monthly membership dues are not payment for classes. Members dues, time, and energy on the mat all support the dojo community so that we can train together. We don’t have contracts, but as learning a martial art takes time, we encourage new students to commit to a minimum three-month period.
Membership Contributions
*Recurring automatic payments through our online member portal are the default method of payment – students may opt out of automatic payments for financial or other reasons after initial registration. New members can join at any time during the month for a prorated membership dues rate. Contact us for family rates.
Family Rates
We love helping families train together. Contact us to apply these rates for your family members.
Additional spouse/partner: $100/month
Each additional child: $80/month
4+ members: $350/month
