Judo Training and Membership Fees


Annual Judo (NSW) Membership and Club Training Fees effective 1st January 2025

  1. Judo NSW and Budokan Judo Club. To be able to participate in Judo training at Budokan Judo Club, some administration with two separate organisations is required:

a) Judo NSW (which is Budokan's parent organisation under Judo Australia and the International Judo Federation); and
b) Budokan Judo Club Inc.

  1. Forms. The following forms must be completed before new members are able to participate in any session at Budokan Judo Club:

a) Budokan Club Membership Form and
b) Risk Warning and Waiver Form

With the exception of the Mini-Kids membership (for the Dino Kids Class), Judo NSW and Budokan Judo Club Inc. (Budokan) both offer a no obligation one-month trial option. Alternatively, new club members may wish to become financial with Judo NSW immediately and also pay Budokan training fees immediately or prior to expiry of the one-month trial period. The options are explained below.

Section 1. For the first month of training

  1. 3. Judo NSW Trial Membership.

a) Mini-Kids membership for Budokan Dinos Class. Please note that the Judo NSW Trial Membership is not available for the Mini-Kids Membership, which is for club members 4 or 5 years of age and not yet at school. For these children, you must purchase the $50 annual membership after the second Budokan Dinos Class.

b) Juniors and Seniors membership for Budokan Classes. Prior to your first class, unless you want to pay your Judo NSW registration up-front (see Section 2 below), new members must obtain a "Trial Membership" from "Judo NSW". This is done on-line and there is no cost at the time of registering for your trial period. Through the Trial Membership, Judo NSW provides a 4 week no-obligation trial period for new members which includes insurance coverage.  Please note that for the Wednesday Dinos class (for 4 and 5 year old pre-school kids), the MONS class (for kids turning 5 to 8 years in the year who attend school), and for the Monday Senior (turning 15 years or older in the year), intake of new members occurs ONLY for the first 2 weeks of each school term. Therefore, for the MONS and Senior classes, please don't obtain a "Trial Membership" from Judo NSW" until JUST PRIOR to your first class, as the month trial period is triggered from the registration. New members (Not Mini-Kids membership for children in the Dinos Class) can register their trial membership with Judo NSW as follows. 

How to Purchase the (one month) Judo NSW Trial Membership - for all Seniors (16 years and over at time of registration) and Juniors (Under 16 years). This should be done on the day of your first class or the day before. Your month trial period starts from registering your trial membership.

Note: Trial Membership does not apply to Mini-Kids (Dino Class) for children aged 4 and 5 years old and not at school.

c) Go to the Judo NSW website at http://www.judonsw.com.au/ and click "Member Login" from the top toolbar and register the new athlete as a new member.

d) Select "Budokan" as the club, click "Register". Complete intended member's personal details.

An alternative to c) and d) above is to go to directly to: https://www.revolutionise.com.au/budokanjc/registration/

e) Choose "Registration Type": "Senior – Trial Membership" or "Junior – Trial Membership" as applicable. "Senior – Trial Membership" is for those who are aged 16 years or over on the day they register, otherwise use "Junior". Click "Next Step"

f) Check the boxes at the bottom of the Member Acknowledgement and Declaration and type in Guardian's name in the case of "Junior – Trial Membership". Click "Next Step" and complete all the personal details as indicated.

g) Click "Register Now".There is no payment required and you should receive a confirmation email from Judo NSW to your nominated email address. Please keep your National ID/Username and Password which are generated by the system.

h) In two to three weeks from the date that you register your trial membership, Judo NSW will automatically send you an email (signed off as "Budokan") stating that your one month trial period will end soon and that your registration fees will be due. Please do this immediately you receive the email so that you don't forget. See Section 2 regarding how to log in to the Judo NSW payment system.

i) Once you renew your membership with Judo NSW and pay your registration fee, Rob Katz (Club President), and Kate Peake (Club Membership Manager) will be notified. Please note the renewal date in your phones and calendars as the club does not send reminders for renewals.

j) The date of your annual membership with Judo NSW will be from the start of your trial period. Effectively, Judo NSW provides a no-obligation one month trial period which is paid for when you become financial. If you choose not to continue training after the one month trial period there is no cost. 

       4. "Dino" Classes.

k) The Mini-Kids Membership is for children (4 and 5 years old and not at school) who participate in the Budokan Dino classes. Mini-Kids will not have access to Judo NSW membership programs including gradings and tournaments. This class is a pre-Judo pre-school education program.

l) Because of the lower registration fee, the Judo NSW trial membership is not available for the "Mini-Kids Membership" used for the Dino classes.

m) After the second Dino class, you must register online with Judo NSW. Please follow the process at Section 2, paragraph 6 below.

5.    Budokan Judo Club Training Fees.

n) Budokan Judo Club also offers a no obligation one month trial period before a commitment must be made regarding training fees. This takes effect during the Judo NSW Trial Membership period. Options for training fees are provided later in this document. Should a new member decide to continue to train after the one-month trial period, club training fees become due and will be back-dated to the start of the trial period. Please be proactive in paying your training fees. Refer to Section 2 below.

o) If new members leave after the one month trial period, there is no cost. If new members wish to pay training fees up-front, this is also possible.

p) In the case of the Dino Kids class (and Judo NSW Mini Kids membership), club training fees should be paid after the second session. Refer to Section 2 below.

Section 2. After the One-Month Trial Membership Period

With the exception of the Dino Class members (as noted above), the annual membership fee to Judo NSW and Budokan Judo Club training fees are both required to be paid at the time the respective one-month trial memberships expires, or beforehand if you choose that option. Both fees are retrospective covering the one-month trial period and both payments have a separate process as follows:
