There are monthly dues for all youth and adult karate classes.  If a student attends a class any part of that month, the student pays his/her entire monthly dues. If a student is an active Club member, the student must pay his/her monthly dues.  There are no contracts.  Students may prepay their dues in 3 month intervals to qualify for a Club discount  There are also family/household discounts and discounts if you use electronic funds for payment of your dues.  Please talk to the person in charge of dues regarding any Club dues or discounts.  Dues should be paid at the first of the month.  All checks are made payable to the order of Okinawan Karate Club of Dallas, Inc.

There are no regular  testing fees when a student tests.  Testing fees may be incurred for yudansha tests.  Testing fees may also be incurred if an out of town Sensei is brought to the Club and the Club pays travel expenses and an honorarium to that Sensei (usually happens for dan tests).  That fee will always depend on who is brought in and how much it costs the Club. If a Sensei is brought in for the student's test, the student should pay strict attention to the feedback of that Sensei as well as any other Sensei.

All guest instructors are compensated for teaching. Workshop fees depend on who is brought in and how much their travel expenses are. Students are encouraged to attend all workshops.

Often beginner gi's are given to students with their first months of dues.  All equipment is paid for by the Club except for the purchase of one's gi (uniform), one's own personal weapons or sparring equipment.  All yellow belts and above are encouraged to buy their own sparring equipment. All men and boys are required to wear a cup.  Students do not have to wear a gi to try a free class.   All belts will be given to the student by his/her Sensei. A student should never purchase his/her own belt and should only wear the belt given to him/her by his/her Sensei.
