Membership Fees
The Ottawa Aikikai offers membership fees for children, students, and adults. Membership fees can be paid monthly or at a discounted rate if paid per 3 months or annually.
The Ottawa Aikikai is a co-operative dojo relying on the student body to keep the dojo running. All instructors and the board of directors are dedicated volunteers. The membership fees are allocated to pay for the rent, to upgrade our dojo, and to help fund special events.
Enjoy our dojo which includes:
- Fully Air Conditioned Practice Facility
- Wall to wall mirrors (protected by ACE Security Laminants)
- A lounge as well as Women's and Men's change rooms with showers
Your monthly membership fee enables you to come to an unlimited number of classes for the month. All fees and purchases are made by cheque and cash at the dojo (cheques preferred). All fees are due on or before the first day of the month.
