All,

I was asked about membership and test fees so I want to take this opportunity to inform everyone if you don’t already know –

Membership and test fees support the non-profit United States Aikido Federation which is dedicated to advancing and promoting Aikido training in the U.S. and throughout the world.

Your rank is issued by the USAF and recognized nationally and internationally, including by Hombu Dojo, Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo.

Peachtree does not charge any test (or belt) fee for children’s tests.

There is also no USAF (or Peachtree) fee for an adult 6th Kyu test, but there is an annual membership fee of $55.00 to record your rank and issue a rank certificate when you test.

The USAF membership fee is paid to the USAF annually or when you take your adult 6th Kyu test.

The fee for all other kyu rank tests is $55 and paid to the USAF when you test in order to record your rank and issue a rank certificate.

Membership and test fees are invoiced in ZenPlanner. Please check your account to pay any fees due. For those who tested recently, you will see a debit in your ZenPlanner account for any fees.

We’re proud of our students and their promotions and our membership in one of the largest and best Aikido organizations in the world.

Thanks to all for your dedication and support - and see you on the mat!
