Membership Fees & Payment Options
We use PayPal to process your payments, in addition to accepting Visa and M/C in the dojo office. Click for more information.
You can choose to pay your monthly dues, testing fees, and seminar fees with your credit card in the dojo office or by using PayPal online. By paying on time, you will avoid late fees ($15 per incident) and by paying every month, your membership fee will never increase. Remember, once you are a member, as long as you have an unbroken history of payments, your membership fee will remain at its current level.
If you have any questions regarding any payment amounts, or would like to discuss discount and family rates, please contact us at the Shuyokan Martial Arts Center in Costa Mesa, California.
Membership allows you to attend all classes Shuyokan offers. Can't make full use of Unlimited Classes? Contact Shuyokan for more information on purchasing prepaid blocks of training time.
