Clothing
What should I wear to train in when I start?
Loose comfortable clothing such as track suit bottoms and t shirt are fine.
When you decide that you are going to carry on training, you should buy a gi or karate suit.
Age
How old do I have to be to start training?
The minimun age is 5 but it doesn't matter how much older than 5 you are - you can do karate at any age.
Occasionally children younger than 5 are accepted but you need to discuss this with Sensei Richard or the Club Secretary.
Which club would be best for me?
The 6.30 class on Thursdays at St Thomas School or the Saturday class at Abraham Guest would probably be best for older students, whilst the 4.45pm class at Holgate on Thursday and the 12 o'clock class on Saturday would be better if you're younger.
There are adults and children in both classes, and there are different grades in all classes. We don't have a class specifically for beginners at the moment.
Cost
It is £5 per class, your first class is free. There is also a licence to buy after 4 weeks which is £25 per annum. This is your insurance.
