En-5. I have the impression that traditional Japanese arts are extremely costly. Is this the case for Aikido?

The absolute necessity for Aikido is one set of practice wear (dogi).

The rest are monthly dues and sports insurance (we have no registration fee).

Fees for rank promotion exams and registrations are also low (Kyu rank fees are 1,000 JPY).

At our dojo, we follow these policies regarding fees:

Policy 1: Our operations are supported by the monthly membership fees from our members.

Policy 2: Membership fees are used to maintain and improve the training environment, promote Aikido, and research It.

Policy 3: We aim to create a system where members can train frequently at a minimal cost.
