We appreciate your energetic and physical contributions to the dojo, and your continued financial support, which is essential to us being able to keep the dojo running.
General dues are $125/month (access to all classes – 5 days a week plus Sunday open mat)
Beginners dues are $50/month (Tuesday & Saturday beginner/basics classes only)
Please schedule your dues to be paid in the last week of each month for the following month. Dues are due by the last day of the month.
We suggest that you set up a recurring payment option for your dues so that if you are out of town or ill or just busy it gets taken care of for you. While we do not ask for any form of contract or commitment, the expectation is that you continue to pay dues as long as you stay a member, regardless of travel or temporary periods of not training.
If at any point your finances do not allow you to pay dues or you need a reduced rate, please just speak to the chief instructor or dojo manager. We want everyone to be able to train regardless of financial position and will work with you on an arrangement that works for you.
Thank you so much! Here’s your options for those monthly payments:
Zelle: Some banks support recurring Zelle payments while others do not so you’ll need to check with your bank so see if this is an option. You can pay via Zelle by using the email address denveraikikai@gmail.com. FYI, it will show as going to Garman Industries LLC, which is the legal entity for the dojo.
Electronic Bill Pay: All banks should be able to set up a recurring bill pay where a check is automatically sent to us monthly. We can easily electronically deposit those checks so this is a great option if your bank does not support recurring Zelle payments. Please use the following address/information: Denver Aikikai, 1195 South Lipan St – Unit B, Denver CO 80223.
Personal Check or Cash: These can be put in the dues box in the dojo. Please memo checks with the month you are paying for or place cash in an envelope with your name and the month.
PayPal: We have a PayPal option for those that prefer, but because they charge a fee for processing, the dues are slightly higher at $130 ($52 for beginners). You can use the link below to sign up for PayPal dues:
