Updated info about Keichu Kai memberships

UPDATED TO READ: The following is outdated and is included only for its "historical value". The organization mentioned no longer exists. All Keichu Kai Lifetime Memberships have been updated to AKKKDK lifetime memberships. For more information, call or email.

There has been a slight change to the Keichu Kai Lifetime Memberships, which are available to students of all Keichu styles: Keichu-Do, Keichu Ryu, Keichu Hoshin Jitsu, or any other recognized Keichu style.

From now on, membership in the Keichu Kai will be required of all Keichu-Do students in order to advance in rank. Soke has announced that there will be no more dojo rank certification, but that all rank certification is to come directly from him.

What are the benefits of a Keichu Kai Lifetime Membership?

• Membership certificate
• Required for Rank Certification from Soke Marx, Founder of Keichu
• No charge for rank promotions (except black belt fees and any dojo/material costs)
• Lifetime Membership Patch
• All monies not used for membership materials directly benefit the founder of our system, Soke Marx, who has labored tirelessly on behalf of Keichu for over 45 years.

What this means for Five Cities Keichu-Do:

1. New students will pay the $75 Keichu Kai Lifetime Membership Fee as part of their enrollment fees.
2. Current students who are not yet Keichu Kai Lifetime Members may wait until their next belt test to pay the fee.
