Costs of Membership:

We are a nonprofit educational organization run by volunteer instructors, and none of our instructors are paid - we do it for the love of the art and to serve the community. As such, we are able to keep our monthly tuition donations extremely affordable, and in our 40+ years, we have never turned away a student for lack of ability to pay.

If you are unable to afford these suggested amounts, you can speak to the head of school to find a donation amount that is reasonable for your current circumstances. Tuition waivers in exchange for assistance with cleaning and other projects at the dojo are also an option.

Our suggested monthly tuition donations (for individuals or the first person in a family):

$35 per month for kids, students, & seniors

$50 per month for adults

After the first person, it is only $20 per extra family member

(In addition, we cap this to allow for larger families that want to share this experience together, so the maximum monthly donation amount for kids class is $75 and adult class or a mixed kids/adults family maximum is $90)

Other fees:

1. Annual (once per year) Membership to the Northern Lights Martial Arts Center, due upon joining. This fee covers our insurance and other administrative and operating expenses.

$35/year for children up to 13 years old
$50/year for all members 14 years and older

2. Annual (once per year) - National Membership to Cuong Nhu Martial Arts Association (CNOMA). This is payable directly to the association online at cuongnhu.com and is due before your first rank test (usually after 3-4 months).and then yearly:
