Frequently Asked Questions

Q.	What do I wear?
A.	For your first few lessons T-shirt and track suit bottoms are ideal. Karate is also performed in bare feet. When you decide to come regularly you will need to purchase a Karate suit (Gi).
Q.	Will I get hurt?
A.	A common misconception is that karate is all about hurting, being hurt and being thrown around. Although Karate can be quite physical we train on a controlled, light-contact basis and injuries are very rare.
Q.	How much does it cost?
A.	Your first lesson is free and from then on it's £5 for adults and £4 for children per session, payable before each session.
Q.	Am I too old?
A.	No! Karate is for all ages and it's never too late to start.

A.	Yes. All of our instructors have valid CRB checks.
