We train two nights of the week, in two different venues. 
 

We are now recruiting new students both Seniors & Juniors, and if you are interested please just turn up on either Sunday or Wednesday evening.  We teach students from the age of 6years old.

Beginners should wear loose clothing, such as jogging bottoms and a t-shirt.  If you wish to, a Karate Suit(Gi) can be purchased through the instructors.

Membership

It is important that you become a member of the BKK as soon as possible, not only for insurance cover but also to be able to enter BKK tournaments and other events.

Before you can attempt your first grading you must obtain your BKK licence and membership card (for seniors), which is a simple process. Your club Instructor will give you the form which requires your name, address & date of birth.

The yearly membership fee is £28.50 for Seniors and £16.00 for Juniors and this together with the form and a passport sized photograph is to be handed to your club Instructor.

Renewal of all licences is due on 31st January.

Each session only costs £2.50, and grading costs vary according to grade (see table below).

Gradings

Kyokushinkai sets very high standards of training discipline and grading examination, and we are envied throughout the world for this reason.

Gradings take place every three months up to 3rd kyu, and you will only be allowed to take part in a grading when the instructors think that you are ready for it.  Also, you will never be forced into taking a grading when you do not wish to.

From 3rd kyu to 1st kyu, gradings can only be taken every six months.

To achieve the prestigious 1st dan black belt, the student must have trained as a 1st kyu for at least a year. Also, it is expected that the student must have trained for at least three years continuously and be over 14 years of age.
