Membership Fees

---

Mosgiel Taekwon-Do is a nonprofit club and we have set our membership fee deliberately low to encourage people to get into Taekwon-Do and train with us. Costs are kept similar to previous years if possible, and we have a financial incentive for those who set up automatic payment provisions for payment of fees.

All payments to the club should be made into the following account:

06-0901-0685158-00

To join

1. Print and fill out the International Taekwondo Joining Application Form. If you do not have a printer please let us know and we will supply a form for you to fill out. We have a supply of these at our do-jang.
2. Obtain a Do-bok (see Do-bok Training Uniform)
3. Set up a monthly automatic payment for our club
4. Pay the initial joining fee for the national body

Club fees

You can set up an automatic payment to pay your monthly fee in instalments, so long as the fees are paid by the end of each month. We will issue automatic reminders of overdue invoices.

Note: we no longer offer casual rate - all training fees must be paid by automatic payment

1 person (adult or mini-kid)	$50
Immediate family (up to four)	$65
Family (four or more)	By arrangement

Note: Fees are payable in full every month, even if you do not attend some weeks as the cost of running the club remains the same. We train during school holidays also, and membership payments are required for the December/January break period. If you have difficulty paying, please get in touch so we can have a kōrero to figure out how best to deal with that situation.

National body fees

All students are required to be paid members of ITFNZ (our national body). This fee is set by the national body. Initial registration fees are required upon joining the organisation, or after returning from an absence of more than one year. Members must have a current membership prior to any gradings or events.

	Individual	Family (2+ students)
Registration Fee	$70	$130

The initial registration will result in you getting an introductory pack, including an ITF manual (suitable for your level, e.g. mini-kids vs. main class) and some stickers etc. Subsequent yearly registrations are handled for you by the club for your convenience, so long as your account remains up to date with us. An account in arrears may result in being denied entry to gradings and tournaments.

Gradings

From time to time we have gup (coloured belt) gradings. These are run by the national body and are conducted by a registered examiner. Gradings are an official event where students demonstrate their knowledge and a successful grading will result in an increase in rank. Each member wishing to grade must pay the grading fee (usually through their own club) and be registered and paid-up on the national register before the grading event.

Note: mini-kid gradings are managed inside our own club and there are no grading fees for these. There may be a small cost to purchase a new belt though for some gradings. Please check with the mini-kids instructor about this. The schedule for mini-kid gradings is set by the club and as a general rule we try to do them a week or two after a gup grading.

Current gup/rank of student grading	Grading Fee
Mini-kids	no charge
10th (white) to 8th gup (yellow)	$55
7th (green stripe) to 5th (blue stripe) gup	$65
4th (blue) to 2nd gup (red)	$75

If two members from the same family are grading then there is a discount of $25 (e.g. for two 10th gups grading the total cost is $85). There is a per-family ceiling of $110 per grading.

Grading fees can be paid by bank transfer / internet banking to the same account listed above.
