Family & Friends Discount
Train Together, Save Together
When friends or family join together, each person benefits from a discounted monthly fee of £40.
This class is for your child if:
- They’re 9 to 12.
- They’re willing to try, even when it’s hard. No experience needed. Effort is the only entry requirement.
- They can listen and show respect. We’ll teach them the rest.
- They’re up for proper karate. Kyokushin is a contact style. We build up to it carefully, but it’s part of the journey.
- They like to laugh while working hard. Our classes are full of both.
If they’re after a drop-in activity to pass the time, we’re probably not the right fit. Better to know before you start.
Not sure? That’s what the free trial is for.
