Plans
Consider how many times per week you want to train and select a plan when you register. This is not set in stone and we are flexible if you want to mix-and match classes on a week-to-week basis. Adults may also join kids classes with their siblings and the Junior classes.
Zen
“Wise and skilled”
£20 (Family £16)
1 class per week
This package is ideal for beginners but will take longer to progress up the grades, typically taking 1 or 2 gradings per year
Ronin
“Strong spirit and courage“
£26(Family £21)
2 classes per week (any class)
Most students aim to train at least twice per week and will improve at a good pace through the grades, typically taking gradings 2 or 3 times per year
Samurai

2 classes or more + 1 private class per month
The addition of a private class can really help hone your karate techniques. This would typically take place at my home DOJO.
