New Annual Fees for WMKA Dojo Owners
October 1, 2013

The revised annual fees will be applied to the Dojo Owners who will renew their Licenses
this year and following years unless notified otherwise:

The main points are:

1.    We excluded the annual fees for all boys and girls including high school students.
2.    We have excluded the annual fees for adult non-black belt students.(White to brown belts).
3.    All black belt students,1st dan and above, have to pay same amount of annual fees.
However, high school students who are black belt don’t need to pay the annual fees based on item #1 above.
4.    We unified all fees between WMKA and EMKA.
Though the fees are almost same, we had a little bit of a difference in some parts.
5.    We unified currency into Japanese Yen. Therefore, no dollars,Euros or other currencies are listed.

You can adapt the currency exchange rate in your country for Japanese Yen.

Total amounts collected in Yen can be rounded to the nearest dollar or other currency of the country of
origin and sent to the WMKA in the form of check or wire transfer as indicated in the
“ Mailing Address and Bank Account” information seen below.
