Membership fees
You can attend the first two weeks of lessons on a trial basis without any charge or obligation.
If you wish to continue after this trial period, you must choose one of the following standing order payment plans:
| Number of lessons a week | Standard Monthly Fee |
Reduced Monthly Fee |
|---|---|---|
| One evening lesson | £40 | £30 |
| All evening lessons | £60 | £50 |
Standard Monthly Fee
Academy membership at these rates entitles you to use the Sir David English changing rooms, sauna and steam room.
Reduced Monthly Fee
If you are an existing member of the Sir David English Sports Centre, or you take up one of their membership schemes we shall reduce your BKA membership by £10 a month.
Other costs you face as a beginner
Taking up karate requires a very minimal outlay in clothing and equipment.
The karate training uniform - The all-white Gi
Certainly for the first few months all you will need to buy is an all-white, light-weight, cotton Gi. Sensei Ernie can advise you where to source the best buys in class.
Sparring gloves and body protection
When you progress to kumite (sparring), you will need to buy sparring gloves and leg protectors. You can get a perfectly adequate set of gloves and leg protectors for as little as £25. You can also spend a lot more on buying up-market leather options. Again Sensei Ernie will advise on what is best.
EGKA Membership
We remind all graded students that it is a condition of their continuing membership with the Academy, that they also maintain their membership of the EGKA. Joining the EGKA not only allows you to attend all of their regional and national events, it also provides you with third party accident and personal injury insurance cover while you are training with us under instructor supervision.
