This is the parent organization which provides us with the physical structure for a place to practice and who ultimately receive your monthly dues. WVMAA is a non-profit organization existing solely to give all of us a place to practice martial arts. As a member run organization, the dues are $50.00 per month or $135 for three months or $240 for six months. Please make checks payable to Aikido of Morgantown. Special rates: Adult beginners - $100 for the first three months of membership WVU or HS Students - $150 per semester.
Aikido of Morgantown
There is a $20 annual fee for all ranked members of Aikido of Morgantown. All members of WVMAA are welcome in the Monday and Wednesday Beginners Aikido classes, however in order to test, attend AWA seminars, or to attend the Intermediate and Advanced Classes, you must be a full member of Aikido of Morgantown. At present, this annual fee is the only source of income for Aikido of Morgantown, and is used for buying belts, weapons, manuals, and hopefully in the future, seminar training scholarships.
Aikido World Alliance
AWA is the national organization to which we belong. AWA is the body which sanctions our rank testing and a test fee of $20 is due payable to AWA upon the day of testing. AWA also holds various seminars around the country, which is our primary method of interacting with the national Aikido community as well as improving our repertoire of techniques.
