Membership means you are a representative of RRKI and a member of an organization that not only supports learning Kali, but also learning from each other. We believe in quality over quantity.

Membership in RRKI is open to all individuals who are engaged in or intending to be engaged in learning Kali from any instructor, school or event sponsored by RRKI. This includes attending any of the following: classes, private instruction, camps, seminars, and the like. Membership is limited to those who are deemed by the RRKI core panel to be of sound mind and character, and is extended as a privilege not a right. Although RRKI hopes to serve everyone interested, we reserve the right to refuse anyone for any reason.

In order to continue to provide a safe training environment, the RRKI requires that all applying members have a reference. This reference is called a sponsor, and must be an instructor or officer of the RRKI. However, sponsorship is easy to obtain. Either an instructor or officer of the RRKI will invite you to join and thereby become your sponsor, or you can simply ask about membership through email, by phone or in person to gain sponsorship (though if you can find one just email us and send us your letter and we will screen it). Recommendations from RRKI members, friends and affiliates will greatly help you obtain a sponsor.

You can join anytime. Applications for membership are accepted throughout the year.
