Join as a dojo
Dojos that are interested in joining Tsuruoka Karate-Do and adopting our belt mandates are able to apply. We have supports available from both our Board of Directors, as well as or Technical Committee, for blossoming dojos. To apply for your dojo to join Tsuruoka Karate-Do, the Head Instructor should contact the President at president@tsuruokakaratedo.ca to initiate the process. Once you submit your application, it will be evaluated by the Technical Committee, which makes the final decision on whether to accept the application.
Join as an individual
Events:
Many of our events are open to non-Tsuruoka Karate-Do members. If you are interested in joining us for a specific even from our calendar, please contact info@tsuruokakaratedo.ca for more information.
Continued membership:
Some individuals choose to train under the umbrella of a pre-existing Tsuruoka Dojo for a variety of reasons whether it be travel, or cross-training from another martial art. These individuals qualify for testing by their host dojo, but are expected to adhere to the Tsuruoka Karate-Do belt mandates. Please speak to the dojo head of your host dojo if this applies to you.
