We follow the school term. Please note that a fixed Term Fee applies regardless of how many times you attend per week. A 10% discount is offered for the second and subsequent family members. If you are unable to attend for three consecutive weeks or more during the term due to injury or holidays, a discount will be applied to the following term’s fee. |
| Joining Fee | $120
Joining fee comes with a set of new Judo Gi and club t-shirt. If you already have a Judo Gi and do not require one, you will pay the Annual Membership instead of the Joining Fee. However, only a Judo Gi is permitted. Karate Gi, BJJ Gi or any other non-Judo Uniform are not allowed. |
| Annual Membership | $65
At the beginning of each year, an annual fee is payable for all students, and this includes TJA merchandise.You do not need to pay an annual membership fee in the year you pay the joining fee. |
| Judo Victoria Membership Fee | Your child(ren) must be a fully paid-up member of Judo Victoria and registered with Taketani Judo Academy. Your Judo Victoria membership covers your insurance, registers your grading with the Judo Federation of Australia and allows your child to enter competitions. |
| Grading Fee | $50
The grading fee is included in the following term’s fee. |
| Class Allocation Based on Height | Members who are taller than 160 cm will be asked to train in the Senior Class, as it can be difficult to find appropriately sized training partners in the kids class. |

Upon completing the Kids Classes, those who hold a belt that includes brown are required to attend the Tuesday and Thursday Senior Classes.
