Visit us and try a class

People come to the dojo for many reasons. Some are seeking effective martial training that includes weapons; others might be looking to improve their physical fitness, coordination, and flexibility; some want to find a deeper spiritual and physical balance and connection to the community.

Prospective students are asked to visit the dojo and watch a class before signing up.

Beginner packages are how new students get started - they encourage commitment, help develop discipline, and save money.

The packages include a Keigogi (training uniform), membership and insurance (12 months), three months’ worth of unlimited beginner training, and attendance to all in-house seminars.

The adult beginner package allows students to attend beginners’ classes, sword training, and Zazen meditation. This allows new students to try all the training offered at Saku Shin Kan dojo. Beginners can train up to 13 sessions a week; after three months, the student will have a well-informed appreciation of the training.

We also have 6 & 12-month packages offering discounts to regular students or those keen to sign up for a longer-term commitment.

Beginner packages:

  • Adult 3 mths: $440 inc GST (save $140)

  • Kids 3 mths: $400 inc GST (save $100)

After their beginner package ends, members pay monthly fees that help to keep the dojo operational; they are not paid for instruction.

Monthly fees are as follows:

  • Concession: $125.00

  • Beginner member: $115.00

  • Regular member: $155.00

  • 7yo-14yo: $100.00

  • 15yo-17yo: $110.00

Body Arts, Weapons, Iaido, Zazen and Misogi are all included.
