How do I get Started ?

There is no need to book as we take new students all year round so come along to a club session and the instructor coach will give you more details.

First lesson is FREE

As most people are not 100% sure of what is involved in a karate lesson. We give you a free trial lesson to see if karate is for you. Our lessons aim to foster the friendly and safe environment in which students thrive.

What do I wear?

Don’t worry about equipment.

Karate is practiced in bare feet and you will need to wear something comfortable you can exercise in. If you enjoy Karate and want to continue, Karate suits (GI’s) are available from your instructor.
