How do I pay?

You can pay your monthly dues via check, cash, or credit card. We also offer financial aid for those who qualify – check with an instructor for further details.

How are costs so low?

Eastside Kyokushin is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing practical, high quality, and affordable martial arts training to people of all backgrounds — costs are kept low because they cover expenses to keep the dojo running, and this is not a for-profit business.

Do I have to sign anything?

If you take a class (trial or otherwise) you will be required to first sign a waiver, we don’t have contracts.

Just show up!

We always appreciate an email ahead of time, but feel free to come by during normal training time to check us out.

Fitness & background experience

Regardless of your level of fitness or background, we are prepared to help you reach your full potential.

Clothing recommendations

There is no special equipment or clothing necessary, though a gi (traditional karate uniform) is encouraged. If you don’t have a gi, just wear loose fitting clothing like sweats or shorts and a t-shirt. Please no tank tops as they tear easily during throws.

Training with jewelry

We will also ask you to remove all jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc) for your and the other student’s safety.

Experience

Regardless of your experience background, everyone is welcome.

What to expect

We train all levels in the same class, read about how we train.
