If you are here, that means you want to know exactly what it takes to become a member of the USA-TKA.  Well, there are a few different models you can take.

First, we have the Individual Student Model.

This means you are here to learn from other martial artists, and either have no official rank to sanction, or come from a system that did not use them.  You quite frankly just may not want to teach.  That is fine, because this is your path, and we are just helping you down the road.

We offer Continuing Education Training at any USA-TKA endorsed Dojo, for those that want to expand their combative education.  Anyone who wants to have their existing rank certified within the USA-TKA, just send in a photocopy of your last rank certificate, and our helpful staff will lead you through the quick and easy process.

A USA-TKA Individual Student receives a Certificate of Membership, a USA-TKA ID Card, access to any and all online USA-TKA services, one USA-TKA patch, invitations to all USA-TKA Seminars, and all the Services and Support offered by the USA-TKA.
 

Then, there is the Individual Teacher Model.

This is likely our most popular enrollment model within the USA-TKA.  This is for those that want to start a Dojo under the sanction of the USA-TKA.  It comes with all the backing that can be offered by a martial arts organization, and a few perks that most don't offer.

We offer all aspects of the Individual Student Model listed above, including Continuing Education Training, USA-TKA Certification of Rank, and all the following:

A USA-TKA Individual Teacher receives a Verification of Rank Certificate, Certificate of Membership, a USA-TKA ID Card, access to any and all online USA-TKA services and pre-made documents, one USA-TKA patch, invitations to All USA-TKA Seminars, invitation to the USA-TKA Yearly Instructors Training Clinic, and all the Services and Support offered by the USA-TKA.
 

Finally, there is the Dojo Registration Model.

This is for Instructors that already have a student body that they want to be certified through the USA-TKA.  This is the best deal going anywhere.  Not only do you get all the perks of the Individual Teacher Model, you get so much more!

A USA-TKA Dojo Registration includes a yearly Dojo Certification, Verification of Rank Certificate for all Instruction Personnel*, Certificates of Membership for all staff*, a USA-TKA ID Card for all staff*, access to any and all online USA-TKA services and pre-made documents, invitations to All USA-TKA Seminars, invitation to the USA-TKA Yearly Instructors Training Clinic (Instruction Staff Only), and all the Services and Support offered by the USA-TKA.

As if that wasn't an amazing deal already, all students of the Dojo receive discounted Individual Student Registration deals within the USA-TKA, for as many students as the Dojo ever generates, as long as the Dojo remains in good standing with the USA-TKA.†  A registered USA-TKA Dojo is also licensed to use the USA-TKA Logo on any letterhead, flyers, and any other form of promotional media, including Digital Media.  The USA-TKA Logo is also an option for any equipment one wants to have wear the symbol of the USA-TKA.

* Teaching Staff Limit of 5 per Dojo Registration.  If Teaching Staff is over 5 persons, each remaining staff member gets discounted Student Rates.

Any pre-registered Individual Students, after the Dojo is registered, and for as long as the Dojo is in good standing, will receive discounted yearly registration rates.

‡ Use of Logo on any non-promotional material with express written consent of the USA-TKA.
 

So, the big question, is of course "How Much?"  That's not a good enough question, so let us break it down for you.  Let's look at the Individual Student Model first.

If purchased separately, the following would cost:
Certificate of Membership:
$15
USA-TKA ID Card:
$20
Online USA-TKA services:
$45/year
USA-TKA patch:
$10
Invitations to all USA-TKA Seminars:
$25/year

That's $115 for just the first year, and $70 every year after that!  And that doesn't include the value of the Services and Support offered by the USA-TKA.

Your Price: $60/year
 

Now, for the Individual Teacher Model, there's even more!

Now remember, you get everything shown above for a sold-separately price of $115 (and $70/year after that).

Now, with the Individual Teacher, you also get:
Verification of Rank Certificate: $35
Pre-made USA-TKA Certificates: $50
USA-TKA Yearly Instructors Training Clinic:
$75/year

That's another $160 today, and another $75 per year for a combined total of $275 for the first year, and $145 every year after that!

Your Price: $75/year
 

Nope, we're still not done!
The Dojo Registration Model includes so much more!  No, you don't have to look back up the page, I'll put it on here for you.

Dojo Certification: $45/year
Up to 5 Verification of Rank Certificates:
$35 each
Up to 5 Certificates of Membership:
$15 each
Up to 5 USA-TKA ID Cards:
$20 each
Online USA-TKA services:
$45/year
Pre-made USA-TKA Certificates:
$50
Invitations to All USA-TKA Seminars:
$25/year
Invitation to the USA-TKA Yearly Instructors Training Clinic:
$75/year

Wow, that's a whopping first-year cost of $310 for a staff of only one person, and a yearly cost of $145.  What if you have 5 members to your teaching staff?

$770 for the first year!
Who can afford that?

Not only are you saving money, but by becoming a member of the USA-TKA, you are saving your student's money, as well!

They won't pay $60/year for their registration.  No, with your Dojo Registration Discount, your students will save money on their registration each year.  Your students only pay $45/year!

Your Price: $200/year
