Thank you for your interest in Fudoshin Martial Arts.
Please find following, some information regarding the administration and join up procedure for the Yamagawa dojo.
You are required when joining up to complete a membership application form that will provide us with all the information required to process your membership.
Please have this form completed, and hand it in at the administration desk, with the annual joining fee at your next training session. You will find the form attached to this letter.
This must be done to comply with the association regulations, and as a requirement of our insurance policy. You will be unable to train unless this form is handed in with the fee.
Once your membership application is processed, you will receive your Fudoshin license, which must be at the dojo when you are training.
This license is yours, and will be updated each time you grade, and renew your membership.
Whilst it is not imperative that you train in a keikogi (training uniform) for your first lesson, it is expected that you should be wearing your keikogi, with the correct badges, as soon as possible, and definitely after your first month of training with Fudoshin.
Protective equipment including mitts, shin insteps and a mouth guard are also required once you obtain the rank of mauve belt (the first grading).
It is also advised that you purchase a student makimono as soon as possible. This is like a journal for you to add to throughout your training. Students are encouraged to have their makimono with them at every class, and to write down any thoughts, or lessons that they would like to remember, quotes of particular meaning to them from the Sensei, and anything else they would like to keep as a record of their training.
This is an invaluable tool that all students should use during and after every class.
We encourage you to ask as many questions as you like regarding Fudoshin, its philosophy, history, etiquette and techniques, etc. Soke (the head of the style), the Sensei (title awarded at 3rd Dan), and the Sempai (senior students – black belts), welcome all enquiries, and most of the classes involve some kind of discussion at the end which includes all the students who participated.
Unlike most Martial Arts clubs, Fudoshin is a non-profit organisation. All of our instructors and dojo team donate their time to the club in a genuine interest and love of Fudoshin.
This is the main reason our training fees are so low, and as a result, any additional funds required to purchase new equipment, host social and training related events, and to generally grow as a club must come from fundraising efforts.
The dojo has a number of fundraising events and activities that are run throughout the year, and we ask that students participate in whatever capacity they can to contribute to the club as a whole.
Fundraising is co-ordinated and handled by Paul, and any suggestions you may have for fundraising activities can be directed to him. Please put any suggestions you have in writing – you may forward them to fudoshinmartialarts@gmail.com
Following is a list of all the costs you will need to be aware of. Please feel free to discuss any of these items with Nyree Ball at anytime. Nyree is a Fudoshin student, and handles all membership related issues, as well as supply of uniforms and equipment.
It should also be noted that if multiple family members are joining, there is a 20% discount off the total cost of training fees when all members of the family are paying on a monthly or upfront basis.
