Each Karate session is £3.00. The following list provides a breakdown of other costs you may have to pay whilst at the club. Some are
mandatory, such as club membership, whereas others, such as T Shits, Hoodies etc are optional.
Club membership (to be renewed annually) - £55.00 nightly subscriptions £3.00,
S.E.K.U. membership + license (to be renewed annually) - £18.00 (£16.00 to renew)
Before you can grade, you must become a member of the Shotokan of England Karate Union (S.E.K.U). The first grading is in December, so you don't have to pay for this straight away.
Equipment/Kit:
Karate suits ('Gi' - lightweight) - £25.00
Karate suits ('Gi' - heavyweight) - £36.00
These will last a long time, and most members only buy a lightweight Gi. Again, you don't need to buy one straight away; these are ordered three to four weeks into the new term, so you will have plenty of time to try karate before purchasing a Gi.
Karate belts, coloured - £3.00 each.
If you pass your grading you will need to buy a new belt. They are available to purchase on the night of your grading. These normally cost about £5.00 in shops.
