How do I pay?
Please note that the Club has gone fully electronic in its receipt of payments and you will be directed to use either direct debit or our credit card facility to pay
Bun Bu Ryo Do – The USQ Martial Arts Club runs as a not-for-profit organisation that facilitates its member disciplines to do what they do best — provide high quality training to the USQ and general communities.
We understand what it is like to be a student, and just how tight personal budgets can be. We keep prices at the lowest that we can.
To make it easier, we have now arranged for a facility where you can either direct debit or pay by credit card for your membership costs and training contributions.
Fees cover core costs such as membership of the relevant National/State organisation and insurance. Members are liable for the base Club registration fee and affiliation fees in the disciplines they train in.
For those wanting to direct debit into the Club's account (for instance if you don't have a Visa or Master Card), the relevant details are:
Account Name: Bun Bu Ryo Do - The USQ Martial Arts Club
Account Number: 131 81041
BSB: 638-070
Bank: Heritage Bank (USQ branch)
Which you can either do on-line or pop into any Heritage branch with these details!
Regular Training Contributions:
Training contributions solely go to venue hire and the Club’s incidental costs. All instruction and administration costs are generously donated by qualified members.
Sessions at the CBRC:
Block of 5/10 face-to-face lessons $50/$90 — you will have 3 months to use up your block of lessons
Monthly training at the CBRC (to be paid within the first calendar week of the month) $85. Full time students or concession card holders have a discount rate of $80 per month
If you direct debt into the Club’s account on time, you will get a $5 discount on the following month. That is a saving of $60 a year!
Online (Zoom) sessions
Additional contributions:
Equipment use for "consumables" such as shinai and Arnis canes shall be one "gold coin" donation per session.
Uniform hire (one night) $5
Uniform loan $40 deposit, refundable when the uniform is returned clean and in good repair.
Please note: Payments through the Club's e-commerce site will incur a surcharge in order to cover costs there. Cash payment made at the dojo or via direct bank transfer do not attract a surcharge.

Finally, as a student-focussed Club, we understand what it can be like to manage a limited budget, particularly when there are significant study related expenses to take care of. If you are experiencing financial stress, please talk to us. Generally, as long as your insurance and affiliations fees are covered, we can be flexible with your training contributions, but you need to talk with your instructor about options.
