Club Fees, Membership and Insurance Policy
We prefer to be fair and transparent about costs and fees associated with studying Karate.
Students are required to pay for training in advance but we understand cost of living pressures and accept payment for training fees flexibly - weekly or monthly rather than quarterly or annually.
Annual fees such as Insurance or Association Memberships are due on the anniversary of your membership with the club.

| Club Membership | Annually | £25 |
Karate Insurance | Annually | £10 |
| Training Fees | Weekly | £14 |
Beginners Course | For 4 lessons | £16 |
| Kyu Grading | Quarterly | £25 |
