Membership and Dues

Memberships are month-to-month. We do not require or even offer long-term contracts, which have acquired a checkered reputation in the martial arts. This means that each month it is each student's (or their parent's) responsibility to remember to pay their membership dues on time--due on the first of each month.

\are set to be ongoing and renew every month and each month you will receive a reminder. If you have made arrangements for automatic payment, there is nothing more to do. If you pay manually, this will be a gentle nudge to do so. Once your payment is processed, you will receive a quick confirmation email. If you ever wish to cancel your membership, that is done through the Profile. If you wish to pause your membership, such as if you will be on sabbatical somewhere far away, you will do that by emailing membership@aikidoofmadison.com.

It is an option to pay for multiple months in advance. Submit your payment for the number of months you wish to pre-pay and either:

• If paying electronically (ACH/BillPay/Zelle): email business@aikidoofmadison.com to let the membership coordinator know how many months you paid for.
• If paying by check at the dojo: include a memo or note with your check indicating what months you are paying for, as well as any other fees (annual fees, uniform purchase, etc).

Payment method

For all check payments: made to Aikido of Madison or Aikido of Madison Dojo, but NOT to Aikido of Madison LLC.

• Checks in the mail: to 2219 Atwood Ave Madison 53704, NOT to the Hollister Ave address
• Checks dropped at the dojo: drop in the lock box downstairs (same as before)

Zelle (our preferred option): ensure payments go to dojo@aikidoofmadison.com

If dues are a significant financial barrier to your participation in training, please email dojo@aikidoofmadison to discuss a confidential arrangement.
