Adults
Please feel free to stop by any time and observe classes. If you decide you would like to join, new members must fill out a waiver and pay $100 in advance for the first month.
Dues for subsequent months are $80. If paid after the first of the month, there is a $10 late fee. Additionally, if you pay in advance, you also have the option to save more by paying quarterly ($210 for the next three months).
The quarterly dues for 2nd and 3rd degree black belts in good standing are $190 and $170, respectively. Upper belts who take a leave of absence without payment, or who transfer in from another dojo, will be required to pay the regular fee for twelve months.

Other Fees associated with membership
Equipment
Students are required to wear a gi during practice. The gi is the traditional karate uniform, consisting of a white tunic and pants. Gi can be purchased at a variety of places, including Toguri's Mercantile (downstairs from the dojo), or from the dojo directly. Prices vary ($40-$200) depending on the quality, size, and style of gi.
Students who wish to participate in kumite (typically purple belt and up) must also have white fist covers (~$20) and a mouthguard. Groin protection for men is strongly recommended. Groin and chest protection for women is optional
Exams
Once a quarter, students who would like to advance to a higher belt can take a belt exam. The cost is $20 to test for lower belts, and $25 to test for a brown belt.
Prices subject to change without notice. Please contact JKA Chicago for most current pricing schedule.
