Hi,
is anybody in this forum a JKA member? To my understanding, examinations are only available to JKA members. Now that there are to Dan bearers, I wonder if the two are JKA members.
lars
I have not joined the JKA. It's not something I thought to ask about.

I did some research last year, everyone can get a member,
you pay around the 40 pounds, and you only get 1 or 2 newsletters a year and a member card.
And you get 10% discount in the JKA store, on the same site.

If you want to go to Japan, and thinking about getting a Dan or do a competition , then you have to be a member first.
Oh you got to know this, the JKA only ship kendamas or stuff to JKA members that lives in Japan.
i don't know why.
If you have any questions about how i get the items, please send me a PM.
