Student Training Costs

The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo Martial Arts School offers classes for adults six days a week and children twice a week. Students are invited to train as much as they see fit. The costs of training at the dojo pays for the overhead of running the school. Although not a non-profit organization, the dojo is a not-for-profit facility. The moneys the dojo collects in dues goes toward dojo expenses, including rent, insurance, utilities, uniforms, training targets, seminar expenses (bringing guest instructors in), and accounting. During class, the dojo supplies each student with high quality training gear, including weapons, hand targets, and a matted-floor system for safety. The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo's goal is to provide the best martial arts training and facility for its dojo members. Our instructor's staff is made up of volunteers. We feel our pricing attracts the type of student congruent to the standards of the Bujinkan. Below are costs to train at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo effective January 1, 2012.
