FAQs
Are the instructors fully qualified?
Our instructors are CRB checked through the English Karate Federation and hold teaching licences awarded by a highly qualified Japanese master instructor. All instructors and student members are insured.
Will I need to buy a uniform and equipment to start my training?
No, we recommend you try several classes before investing in a uniform and safety equipment. Your instructor can advise you on how to start up in the most economical way before.
Do I need a good level of fitness and flexibility to train?
Not especially. As long as you enjoy a reasonable level of fitness, regular training at your own pace will gradually improve your fitness levels and flexibility. If you have concerns regarding your health and suitability to martial arts, seek the advice of your doctor before commencing training.
How often should I train?
We recommend twice weekly for students aged 7+, though many young children start their martial arts journey to black belt with just one class per week.
We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
