Windsong Dojo offers a unique and rich training environment with high standards of quaility and commitment.

Since the arts that we practice are concerned with what the Zen tradition calls “the great matter of Life and Death,” be advised that we reserve the right to apply selective standards for enrollment and we reserve the right to expell any student for misbehavior and unethical conduct; as such, we require that all students behave as mature and conscientious adults and all persons who enter the training hall are expected to follow the dojo rules of safety and decorum.

Upon deciding to join Windsong Dojo we advise that you should be willing to commit yourself to training for a minimum of 6 months. We have found that students who are willing to make such a commitment can expect realistic and long lasting benefits from training.

Be advised that Windsong Dojo is not a normal business and does not function as one—we have no due dates for payments, no salaried employees, and we have no contracts, other than our own commitment to one another and to the training. All instruction is voluntary, and all cleaning and facility up-keep is the responsibility of the student body.

Once you have joined and must miss class for over a calendar month, for any reason, we ask that you notify Nick Lowry, if possible before the absence, so that we can  adjust your tuition.

Once you have joined, you may attend as many or a few classes as you wish, but attending any class in a calendar month requires the regular monthly tuition.

Tuition

Tuition is posted on a monthly basis. Whether you attend one class in a month, or every class in a month, you will be responsible for tuition  for that entire month.

Membership in the international organization is due annually. Your first month’s tuition and registration  include payment of the international dues for the first year. You will receive a separate bill from Fugakukai each year thereafter.

To join one art (Aikido or Judo):
Call (405) 943-6246 for current tuition and registration.

To join two or more arts (Aikido, Judo & Jyodo):
Call (405) 943-6246 for current tuition and registration.

Please note that due to the nature of Jyodo, we require that all candidates for Jyodo studyies be at least a green belt rank in either Aikido or Judo, and upon admission you will be required to purchase a proper jyo and bokken.
 
Be advised that you will also be responsible for promotional payments as you progress in rank, as well as yearly association dues. Fees for promotions will be posted on your monthly statement, and yearly dues are billed separately. All fees, including monthly dues, international dues, and promotions, should be paid before your next promotion.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your bill, do not hesitate to call Nick Lowry, 943-6246.
