AUSKF/SWKIF Registration Begins Soon!

Members,

This Tuesday (3/15) is the start of the annual AUSKF/SWKIF Membership Drive for 2022-2023. The registration period ends at the end of the month (3/31). This is our national and regional organization’s registration for the year.

For those that are new, our dojo is a member of the regional organization – Southwest Kendo and Iaido Federation (SWKIF) – which is also a member of the national organization – All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF). As a member of these federations, our dojo receives funding and access to regional and national events throughout the year. We highly recommend our members register/re-register in order to participate in seminars and testing (yes, testing!). We also appreciate your support as it helps keep our wonderful martial art stay alive and well for another year!

What you need to do to register:

  1. On Tuesday (3/15), go to the AUSKF website: https://unitedstateskendo.com
  2. Log in with your credentials. If you are a new member, create a new profile. You should be issued an AUSKF ID. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THIS NUMBER FOR YOUR REFERENCE! It is our national organization’s way to identify you. You will need this for participating in seminars, tournaments and testing.
  3. Navigate to “Pay Dues” to complete the registration process.
  4. Please refer to this detailed set of instructions if you have any questions: membership registration help page
  5. If you still have questions regarding registration, please reach out to Nathan Williams (via email) or any of the senior membership at practice.

Some changes to be aware of:

Due to most dojos resuming practice, rates for the national organization have returned to their pre-covid amounts. That being said, your regional board has decided to keep the regional rates the same (discounted) from the previous year. Please keep in mind that these changes will affect the total amount paid for the year.

Thank you and see you at practice!
