How tuition works

What sets tuition

Tuition depends on who is training and how many nights a week. Our figures are on the enrollment page, and Roark goes over them with you after your first class so nothing comes as a surprise.

Registration

A joining fee sets up your file and covers the gi we help you choose. It is due when you enroll, and the amount is on the enrollment page.

Billing

Tuition is billed monthly by autopay through our member portal. A reminder goes out a few days before each billing date, and you can update your card there any time.

Help with tuition

A lot of the people who train here work seasons, shifts or both. If a month is tight, ask us whether a scholarship or a payment plan is open right now. We answer in person.

Withdrawing

Memberships run month to month. To stop, tell us in writing at least 30 days ahead; the month in progress is billed as usual. You can pause for an injury, a long season on the job, a new baby or a trip. Ask us how.

Missed classes and make-ups

A missed class can be made up in any class of your level the same week. Tell Roark ahead and we'll find a night that fits. Make-ups don't carry into the next session.

Uniforms, costumes and other costs

Beyond tuition, a few costs exist, and each is for something specific. The amounts are on the enrollment page.
