Costs

Whenever we are looking to start a new activity or purchase goods it is inevitable that we look at the costs and proximity to home but we believe that these should not be the only factors in your decision. Quality of teaching should be at the top of the list, quality of venue should also be taken into consideration. Paying less can be very costly if the level of tuition is low, not only money but a lot of time can be lost. Likewise, just because the cost is high does not necessarily mean the standard is higher. We recommend that you watch some classes, see what the beginners are being taught and watch the higher graded students as this will tell you more than any words can the standard that you can expect to achieve.

 

Here are the costs associated with joining Fushin Ryu Karate.

** The monthly AP is the years tuition fees divided equally into 12 payments. Automatic payment is available to students who have already trained in FRK for at least one year. Once the AP is started it will not be subject to tuition fee increases as long as no payments are missed. The lastest rate applies if the AP has been stopped or a payment missed.

Senior students Tuition Fees are higher as they have more classes in the year and the class times are generally longer. Teenage students and full time University Students that train in the senior class will have these "advantages" but with lower fees until they turn 18 years of age and have a Job :-)

Uniform (Dogi)

The Karate Uniform is called a Dogi.

Do = Training, Gi = Clothes

A karate uniform is not required straight away, we believe it should be earned. We recommend that students can earn the right to wear a dogi (if not doing so already) by taking on some responsibilities around the home. For example keeping their room clean without being asked.  Bank Account details for dogi and gloves purchase: Westpac bank/ 03-1322-0034224-00/BFC LTD.

There are different types of uniforms, cotton, poly cotton, ribbed cotton and canvas to name but a few. Fushin Ryu karate students wear a white dogi. You are able to purchase an Arawaza brand dogi from your Instructor. The standard uniform comes with a white belt and is embroidered with the Fushin Ryu logo. They are designed to fit well with no need for alterations. If you already have a dogi you can purchase a logo for $20 or have one embroidered directly on for $15.

Ideally after their first term of training students will purchase a mouth guard and hand protectors in preparation for partner work.

A uniform that is ill fitting can take the students attention away from learning and time is lost on constantly adjusting their dogi.

What else will I need?

The basis of Karate is Self defence. Once a student has an understanding of the basic movements an element of partner work will be involved. At this point safety equipment will need to be purchased.

The basic equipment needed for the class will be a fitted mouthguard and karate gloves. Shinguard and instep protectors are also recommended. Karate training is designed to make the practitioner stronger in both mind and body, that being said, while making your body stronger it helps to be able to make it to work or school the next day. Protective equipment will assist with this.
