DUES AND FEES
Judo classes at Kennedy Recreation are free of charge. Visitors and those interested in experiencing Judo for their time are encouraged to try us out.
Students who are interested in pursuing a practical study of Judo are encouraged to join the DC Judo Club as part of the United States Judo Federation (USJF). USJF membership costs $50 annually and includes supplementary insurance coverage for your Judo practices, clinics, and competition events. USJF membership qualifies you for Student Membership in DC Judo.
Full Members pay monthly dues. The amount of dues is set by you — you pay what you can afford. These dues cover the cost of club insurance, mats and equipment, events and other expenses.
Our mats are not quite as crowded as 100 years ago
