The following is a breakdown of the costs of training with Spirit Taekwon-Do. Note that in many cases family discounts will apply if there is more than one person from a family joining, training or grading at the same time.
Joining Fee $95
Gives you membership to Spirit Taekwon-Do and the ITFNZ. It also includes your first month training fees and your club badge.
Monthly Fees $45 *
Fees are payable on the 25th of each month (for the next month), by automatic payment. Fees are payable 12 months of the year.
2 family members: $80 + Each additional family member: $20
Grading Fees $50 per grading
Three times a year the ITFNZ holds gradings. These give you the opportunity to move up through the ranks as you gain proficiency in Taekwon-Do.
Dobok/Uniform – $60-$90
This is not necessary straight away, but you will need one before you grade to your next belt.

Extras
There are often tournaments, seminars, camps and other activities throughout the year. These are optional, and usually incur extra costs.
Taekwon-Do teaches you so much more than self-defence and kicking and punching. What you learn from years of training in Taekwon-Do is self-respect and respect for others, humility, and belief in your ability to achieve anything you want, both within Taekwon-Do and in everyday life.
