Unlike many clubs, we make sure you don’t have a big outlay up front - plus your first lesson is on us. Our training fees are extremely competitive, and we will never ask you to sign up for any contracts.
LLS Karate are committed to keeping training costs sensible and affordable. Initial classes are charged weekly on a “pay as you train” basis. After the first few weeks, training fees move to a fixed monthly fee, payable in advance – this provides a simpler payment system for everyone and encourages regular attendance on class.
After the first month, all students must be licensed with NAKMAS. NAKMAS is one of the largest martial arts governing bodies in the UK. This provides a grading/license book and covers student insurance. The annual license fee is £25. There is NO club membership fee.
In general, we provide instruction in four areas of Karate – Kihon (Basic Techniques), Kata (sequenced moves), Kumite (sparring), and Bunkai (practical Kata application) - plus we add some practical self-defence and anti-bullying strategies into the mix as well. Of course all of this is taught with an attitude of respect and control. And for our younger students, there’s always lots of Karate games to make sure everyone enjoys the classes.
All students and instructors wear a white Karate Suit – called a Gi. For new students, normal sports clothes are fine to begin with, just nothing with zips. Gi’s are available to buy from the club at competitive prices, but we don't force you to buy from us.
Absolutely. All training is generally non-contact and health & safety is continually assessed. Of course, Karate is a martial art, and inevitably students do get minor bumps, bruises, or scrapes from training. To be honest, this all part of the learning process.
