At the end of your two-month newcomer special, you will be asked to choose one of the following memberships:

Option 1: Continuous Membership

The path of steady practice and dojo support.

The Concept: A fixed, ongoing monthly contribution that remains active year-round, regardless of attendance.

The Benefit: Participants enjoy our lowest preferred rate in exchange for their consistent commitment.

Continuity and Support: This tier is designed for dedicated practitioners whose steady contributions provide the essential foundation that keeps the dojo’s doors open, and the mats ready for everyone.

Policy: Payments are automated and are not paused for travel, illness, summer or other breaks.

Option 2: Flexible Membership

Training that adapts to your busy lifestyle.

The Concept: A month-at-a-time payment structure that grants full access to classes without a long-term bridge.

The Benefit: Total freedom to “pause” your training at any time. If you know you’ll be away for a month or two, you simply don’t renew for that period.

Premium Access: Because this option allows for fluctuating attendance and does not provide the dojo with predictable monthly support, it carries a higher monthly premium.

Policy:  Although payments are automated, you pay only for the months you intend to step onto the mat; no charges occur (with notice) during months where you do not attend at least one class.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  When on the continuous membership, should you cancel/pause your continuous membership, and then decide to return to training at Rock Water, you can only do so by rejoining with the current newcomer package (no uniform included this time), and you must remain on the flexibility membership (higher premium) for at least 12 months.  After 12 continuous months on the “Flexibility Membership” you are eligible to request going back on the “Continuous Membership”.

Discounts:

Family Discount:
Once the initial 2-month newcomer special period is over, Families will get an additional family member discount!  The first family member pays the regular rate (highest rate), each additional family member receives a 20% discount!

Adult 18+ Full Time Student Discount:
Once the initial 2-month newcomer special period is over, there is a 30% discount for adult students who are enrolled full time at college or university.
