Membership
How To Join
Step 1 - Participant Waivers
The Wind River Dojo Participant Waiver is a standard participant waiver that must be completed in order to participate in the practices. One of the questions on the waiver asks for your AAU insurance number, so please complete the AAU insurance before filling out the waiver. We prefer you fill out the online form, but we do have paper copies if you prefer.
Step 2 - MEMBERSHIP FEES
Wind River Dojo offers very affordable Individual and Family membership options. We encourage you to utilize our convenient monthly recurring membership option. If the membership fee is an obstacle for you or your family, we do offer scholarships for training. Please speak with Pat, Brian, or Jonathan to learn how to apply.
Step 3 - Uniforms
Wind River Dojo does not have any requirements in terms of uniforms. For you first class(es) we recommend wearing exercise clothes. We have Gis (uniforms) that can be borrowed for any techniques that require them. Long term, you will want to purchase a Gi, as well as possibly a rash guard and grappling shorts. Fuji Sports has quality, affordable Gis, rash guards, & shorts. Ask an instructor about our wholesale discount.
optional - Join the Telegram Chat(s)
Wind River Dojo utilizes Telegram to help keep our students, parents, and instructors informed about upcoming events, schedule changes, and general dojo updates. Telegram is a free messaging app available on iOS, Android, and Windows. Please join if you would like to stay informed and up to date on the happenings of the dojo.

optional - AAU Insurance
If you would like extra insurance coverage specifit to training, you can get Athlete Insurance [Standard or Extended] through AAU Sports by registering at https://aau-cfec.rsportz.com/. This is no longer mandatory, but a good, inexpensive option for additional health insurance coverage for training related injuries.
