• Sign in to your GKR Online Academy Dashboard.
• Go to Account Settings in your Dashboard and select cancel subscription.
• Cancellation can be done at any time and there are no specified cancellation fees.

Cancel in-class Direct Debit memberships

• Contact your dojo or the membership team and provide 28 days' written notice to cancel a Direct Debit contract.
• Your pass remains active during the 28-day notice period; ensure you receive confirmation of your cancellation request.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

For Direct Debit in-class memberships your training pass stays active during the 28-day notice period.

For web subscriptions cancellation stops future renewals but you normally retain access until the paid period ends.

Renewal and billing

Online Academy cancellation prevents the next billing cycle; there are no stated online cancellation fees.

Direct Debit payments may continue through the notice period and you should check bank statements for final debits.

Data and account handling

GKR retains account details per its account system; request account or data questions from the membership team if required.

If you want data removed, contact support or the dojo and ask how they handle account deletion or retention.

Will I get a refund?

Refunds for Online Academy

GKR Online Academy cancellation is described as stopping renewals; there is no clear published refund guarantee for web subscriptions.

If you seek a refund after purchase, raise the request with GKR support and provide purchase details for consideration.

Refunds for Direct Debit and in-class memberships

• There is no explicit, published refund policy for Direct Debit or in-class memberships in the available materials.
• Some customers report mixed outcomes when requesting refunds; GKR staff may consider refunds case-by-case.

Statutory rights and exceptions

GKR documentation does not reference a 14-day cooling-off period or other automatic refund rights for New Zealand customers.

Under New Zealand law, the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) may apply if services are not supplied with reasonable care and skill.

Gkr Martial Arts plans and pricing

Pricing summary

Pricing below reflects GKR Online Academy NZD plans as listed on the public pricing page.

There may be separate local pricing for in-studio memberships not published on the Online Academy page.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Relevant laws

New Zealand consumers are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) which requires services to be provided with reasonable care and skill.

The CGA can apply when services are not as described, poorly delivered, or cause loss due to substandard provision.

How this applies to GKR

GKR’s published materials do not explicitly reference CGA or a statutory cooling-off period for NZ customers.

If you believe services were not provided with reasonable care and skill, you can raise a complaint under NZ consumer protections.

Where to get help

For CGA questions and disputes, contact Consumer Protection New Zealand or Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance.

Keep records of enrolment, advertising claims, payments and communications to support any complaint.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some New Zealand customers report a friendly, encouraging community and a positive, beginner-friendly environment.

Testimonials note flexibility in scheduling and long-term members valuing the social and supportive aspects.

Negative feedback

Complaints include aggressive sales practices, poor post-enrolment communication, difficulty getting confirmation or refunds, and rude staff.

Other commentary raises concerns about teaching standards, mass gradings, and inconsistent instruction at some locations.

What to take from reviews

Reviews are mixed; local dojo quality can differ. Visit the local club, ask questions and observe a class before committing to a Direct Debit.

Document all communications and payment authorisations so you have evidence if issues arise.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Copy of your membership agreement or Direct Debit terms.
• Proof of payments (bank statements, receipts).
• Account email, username and invoice numbers for web subscriptions.

When you submit a cancellation

• Written cancellation request (email or the Dashboard cancellation confirmation).
• Request and keep a written confirmation of cancellation and final charge date.
• Record the date you gave 28 days' notice for Direct Debit cancellations.

Common mistakes

Assuming online and in-class cancellation are the same

Some customers assume cancelling the app or online account cancels their in-studio Direct Debit membership.

Always check whether your in-class membership is managed separately and follow the 28-day notice process if required.

Not keeping records

Failing to keep confirmations, emails or bank statements often makes disputes harder to resolve.

Always request written confirmation and save screenshots, emails and transaction records immediately after cancelling.
