Our karate classes are 60 minutes in length and adults and children train together. Sensei Sherlock, 6th Dan, takes all of our classes and the karate style of the dojo is Shotokan. Some general rules for our classes:
General Rules
- Students are required to register before training. We provide a registration link for each class event on our Facebook page.
- Full karate gear must be worn at all times, except for students on a beginners course.
- Mobile phones and other electronic equipment must be switched off, or put on silent for the duration of a class
- All students should have a bottle of still water (no fizzy / carbonated drinks)
- All equipment such as water bottles, bags, mitts etc. should be clearly labeled so that equipment is not taken or mistakenly shared between students
- Parent are not allowed in class during training
- Parents must collect children promptly when class is finished
- Photography or video recording of classes is not allowed
Class Fee
The class fee is currently €6, “pay as you go”. We do not accept electronic or card payments.
Karate Gear / Attire
In general, all students are expected to train in full karate suit, and should also bring sparring mitts and a gumshield to every class. Students on one of our beginner courses are exempt from this rule. For more information on equipment see the Karate Equipment page.
Drop-In Students
Karate student’s who train in USKFI affiliated dojos are welcome to drop in for training. Please makes sure to notify your own instructor of your intention to join us for a class.
Students who train in non USKFI dojos cannot drop-in without prior agreement from our instructor. Please get in touch at least 3 days in advance so that we can process and deal with your request. It helps if your own dojo practices the Shotokan style, but this is not a condition of entry to a class. We have limited places, so we cannot always accommodate drop-ins.
Get in touch by sending a Private Message on our Facebook page.
Beginners
New students can only train as part of a beginners course. We hold beginner courses at regular intervals throughout the year. For more information see our Beginner page.
