Chito Ryu and Karate Ontario Membership Fees
Each year students are required to become a member of the four associations that support our club and it’s students. They are the Canadian Chito Ryu Association, the Chito Ryu Association of Ontario, the National Karate Association and Ontario Karate Federation. These 4 organizations provide us with a variety of different supports, including instruction manuals, crests, grading certificates, instructor licenses and coaching certification, tournaments, seminars and clinics, and club and personal injury insurance, just to name a few. All students are required to complete the membership forms and fees.
The process is slightly different then last year. OKF has asked that members register online for their portion. The Chito Ryu Association registrations are still done on paper.
Step 1:
1.) Complete the OKF/NKA membership form portion on the following website www.trackiereg.com/okf-individuals.

When completing the form, indicate your Dojo is the "New Hamburg Karate Club", your participant type is "Competitor" and your membership type is "Club Only" from the drop down menus.
Step 2:
2.) Complete the paper Canadian and Ontario Chito Ryu Association registration form (one line per student on a group form) located at the back of the dojo and submit your membership fee (cash or cheque) to me for each student.

Black belts and Kyu Belts (White to Brown Belt) fee is $30
Step 3: (Only if you started Karate after March 1, 2017) New members Only (those that have never been a member of the four organizations in the past - i.e. those students that started after March 1, 2017) will also be required to complete a waiver form in addition to the registration form.
