Fees
The monthly membership fees are the main income for Sidekick. We have to cover the coaches’ fees, gym studio rental, training equipment, insurances, office supplies, first-aid kits, further education for the coaches etc. All this is essential for us to ensure the high quality of our classes and run the club.
Monthly fees
Regular membership fee is 60€/month. Minors pay 25€/month. People with refugee status train for 5€/month. Discounts are possible same as a support membership for more than then regular fee- just talk to us.
The monthly fees will be collected by direct debit at the beginning of the month. We will collect the fees once again two weeks later.
We accept cash only in exceptional cases. Fees will only be accepted in advance of at least three months.
Price Policy and Discounts
If you can, please pay the regular monthly fee of 60€. Compared to other martial arts gyms, the fee is quite low.
If you do not have the financial resources in the moment (and no rich family in the background), just tell us how much you can pay. You do not have to disclose the reasons for the discount requested, we trust in your truthfulness. We believe in the principles of solidarity.
Twice a year (on June 30th and December 31st) the discounted fees will be reset to the full price for your membership. So if you require a renewed discount, please let us know a month before the reset dates (i.e. 30th November/31st May) by the latest.

Your letter of resignation has to be sent to the club via post or e-mail. You can leave by June 30 or December 31, with two month’s notice- so we need to receive your letter of resignation by April 30 / October 30.
Adolescents are allowed to hand in their resignation by the 15th of a month for the following month.
