Additional Details
Why would I attend such an expensive event?
We agree, it is an expensive event. The high fees are a result of the costs to ensure the requirements of holding a smaller event for Nagato Sensei are met. That said, it is less generally less costly than flying to Japan (including accomodation, food, travel etc). The event is limited in size (70 registered participants) to ensure that Nagato Sensei has an engaging experience in close proximity with all participants. Nagato Sensei will be teaching on the tatami mats, moving around, watching and correcting students. The intimate setting of the Bujinkan Tasmania Dojo allows for more meaningful instruction and opportunity for conversations with Sensei. For some, these benefits outweigh the seemingly high cost to attend.
I want to attend, but don’t have the money upfront. Is there an option to split payments?
Registration and payment for the event closes on April 1st 2026. Full payment is required at the time of registration. For those unable to pay the full $1200.00 immediately, a $600.00 “partial payment” option is available upon registration, with the remaining balance of $600.00 due in full by April 1st, 2026. Should extenuating circumstances prevent full payment by this deadline, please contact the Bujinkan Tasmania Dojo via email to discuss alternative payment arrangements.
Full refunds are available until April 1, 2026. After this date, refunds will only be issued if a replacement registration is secured. For more information about refunds, review the “Can I Receive a Ticket Refund?” in the FAQ section.
Why are there no a la carte, one-day only, or less costly options to attend? Are guests able to attend and observe?
In order to reduce complexity and simplify expectations for the event, a single fee structure - $1200.00 per registered attendee - is the only option. There are no a la carte, one-day only, quantity discounts, or less costly options available. The event is limited to 70 registered attendees. In an effort to streamline planning and ensure sufficient preparation for all attendees, a single fee structure has been created. The event’s theme and location aim to create a cohesive and memorable experience for all participants. By offering a single fee structure, the event team can ensure that all attendees have equal access to the Tai Kai’s resources and planned training. The single fee structure is set to cover the costs of organising the event, including venue, travel and instructor fees, catering, and most expenses (the Bujinkan Tasmania Dojo is also contributing to support some of the event’s overheads).
Parents, friends or persons other than participants are unable to attend. This is due to size of the Dojo and for health and safety reasons.
