The following is a breakdown of membership options, benefits, dues, fees, methods of payment, and schedule of payments.

Membership Options:

Their are four membership options. The membership dues decrease the longer you commit to participation.

The fourth option is for The Godai Ninpo "Victim-Less" Women's Self Defense Course. All dues, fees, methods and schedule of payments are the same. The course of study is a bit cruder but just as effective. It is designed to achieve the highest possible results in the least amount of time. "..It aint pretty , but it works!.." is the idea.

1. Single Term membership. ( The " Tourist" ).
This option is great for those individuals that are soon transfering to another university or graduating. This option is also ideal for persons whom wish to "check it out", or to get a basic understanding of Ninjutsu, self defense, Martial Arts and the Godai Ninpo Club. This breaks down less than the cost of dinner and a movie per hour of instruction, and the satisfaction and benefits last a lifetime.

2. Two Term membership. ( "Seasonal" ).
This option is great for those who really want to gain insight into the Art and themselves. This is ideal for those students whom are non resident and go home for the summer and return in the fall. Commiting this amount of time will give you a firm undestanding of basic self defense. You will be able to practice on your own and develop your skills while you return home for the summer or vacation. This option will take you two thirds of the way through Level One/ Earth Realm. You will undestand the concepts behind "Holding your Ground". You will benefit from increased agility, flexibility, dexterity, and responesiveness. You will also develop a foundation for the pursuit of other martial sciences, should you decide to venture elsewhere.

3. Three Term membership. ( Yearly Membership ).
This is the premium membership. This options is for the person who really wants to get the most out of their experience in the Godai Ninpo Club! This option is great for those resident students and those persons whom live in the Ann Arbor/ South Eastern Michigan area. You will benefit from year round training and will have the opportunity to be part of special training sessions only offered in the summer. You will have the opportunity to advance at a much faster pace than the other options as you are exposed to the entire yearly curriculums. Members who take this option will also be invited to extra training events that will spring up spontaneously as well as participate with other Godai Ninpo training groups. This option can also be used like the ( Seasonal) mebership in that you may leave for the summer ( and suspend dues ) and return in the fall. When utilizing this feature, your memebership time is in effect durring the Terms you specify. This option provides the best value. Again, that's less than dinner/movie, a fast food meal, and video games or cover at a night club! You just cant beat that. Plus you can know that
it is an investment into yourself that yields a maximum return.

Methods of Payment:
Members may pay monthly in cash, check or Pay Pal.
If by cash, a receipt will be given. Checks will be deposited into the club's account and held for clearance. Paypal payments will be subject to an additional fee = to 3% of monthly dues to cover the cost of the transaction fees by paypal. If you need instructions on how to set up and use a paypal account, go to www.paypal.com. This option is great for those whom want to use a debit or credit card.

Members may also purchase memberships in full. The club greatly appreciates this election as this allows us to aquire training equipment at discounted prices and secure special instruction in advance as well as facilities. This ultimately is given back to all club members in the form of cheaper gear, uniforms, equipment,
training aids such as videoes/dvds etc. Members that elect this method are granted immediate discount on uniform purchase and tabi footwear.

Schedule of Dues:
Dues are payable on or before the second Sunday of each month. Due are always paid in advance. This is required as we have to pay the instructor and addministration cost in advance. Late dues are subject to a $10 late fee per occurrence. The club officers reserve the right to bar participation for excessive and frequent late payment of dues.
