For information about our current Black Belts and Club Instructors please click on the "BLACK BELTS" link in the menu.
The good news is that your first lesson is free of charge, so you can see if Karate is for you without losing anything other than some time and a little bit of sweat! After that we ask you to pay a nominal fee of between £2-£4 for each session that you attend.
We do not demand "joining fees", payment by direct debit or that you sign up for a set number of lessons. Nor do we insist that you buy a karate suit or other equipment on your first night - normally you will know when you want to buy a suit and fit in with the rest of the class.
What we will want you get as soon as possible, though, is your national Karate licence; mainly because your licence contains an insurance policy to protect both yourself and other club members in case of accidental injury.

NO LOCAL CLUB?
If you would like a Sandokai Karate Club in your locality and know of a suitable venue please contact us and we'll see what we can do!
What we require is a clean, safe venue which can accommodate up to twenty people. The venue needs to have toilets and (ideally) parking facilities. The venue should be available for hire all year round on the same day of the week, not just during specific periods of the year.
Many of our clubs have been in the same venue, training on the same day at the same time for years.
