KENPO SCHOOLS MEMBERSHIPS: Click here for Registration Form
The requirements for membership in GOP for Kenpo schools are as follows:
- Payment of the annual school membership fee of $100.00.
- Mr Hebler must be brought in by each member school at least once per year for consultations, rank testing, workshops, etc. Please contact Mr Hebler directly for his fee schedule.
- Member schools must use GOP rank certificates and patches. Please see the fee schedule for products and services.
- Active participation in GOP activities and training opportunities is an essential part of being a member. We understand that schools and individuals cannot participate in every event and we are sensitive to the circumstances relevant to each individual or school. However, GOP feels that supporting the organization (to at least a minimum level) is an essential part of membership. Bluntly, if you can’t or won’t support the organization, don’t join.
NON-KENPO SCHOOL MEMBERSHIPS: Click here for Registration Form (upon receipt of the registration form, a password will be sent out to access the "Instructors Only" section of the site. From there, a school or Instructor can pay for their membership and all other products)
Dave Hebler’s Gift of Power is a Martial Arts Organization that is open to all styles. Indeed, non-Kenpo schools may become members of GOP for the cross training opportunities offered to its student population. Because GOP does not dictate curriculum to its member schools, the requirements for membership for non-Kenpo schools are the same as for Kenpo schools.
