Other Fees / Dues
| MONTHLY DUES: 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. There are also family discounts 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 Arlington. |

| TESTING FEES: 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. |

| WORKSHOP FEES: 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. |

| EQUIPMENT: 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. Of course, some students might want to purchase their own equipment. All yellow belts and above are encouraged to buy their own sparring equipment. Students do not have to wear a gi until they feel they are sure they want to continue in their training; however, a uniform is strongly encouraged and is expected to be worn prior to any formal testing. 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. |

| CERTIFICATES: OKC-AR gives its own certificates after each examination with no fee charged to the examinee. However, students are encouraged to purchase certificates. This money supports that particular Sensei or his family.. This is the product the Sensei has to sell for all the knowledge he has acquired. Certificates from Sensei Shimabukuro (Grand Master, Shorin Ryu Shobayashi Karatedo):
