Enfield Karate Club News

Saturday training

The classes will be set out slightly differently so we can manage things correctly:
2pm-3pm will be for all students under 16yrs old below the grade of 3rd kyu.
3pm-4:30pm will be for all students over 16 yrs old and juniors above the grade of 3rd kyu.

We will have to adhere to certain rules due to the current situation which will have to be in place until the situation improves which I'm sure you will all understand.​
Out of date licenses will need to be renewed before training commences.

Shoes to be worn, must not have been worn outside.
If you have any questions feel free to give us a ring or send an email.
If you are not coming back let me know and I will delete you from this list.

Club hoodies are available from sensei Rich. Please contact him directly.

Dan Grading 2020

Well done to Rocco Borghese who successfully passed Shodan 29th August 2020
Rocco has trained hard over the lockdown period and put a lot of time and effort into achieving Shodan.

Next Dan Grading 12th December 2020

After discussions with sensei Rich, we have decided to hold a dan grading on 12th December.
With the situation unlikely to change for some time regarding contact training, we felt it would be unfair to make you wait another year at least to take the grading you have all worked so hard for.
The grading will concentrate mainly on basic techniques, combinations and kata. These parts of the grading will be increased to make up for the lack of contact kumite. Kumite will be of the socially distanced type (I will explain when I see you).
It goes without saying that you will need to train very hard especially as we will only have one session a week for the foreseeable future.
All dan grades should do the extra half hour for advanced training on Saturdays.
Please make sure you all know your syllabus if you wish to grade.
Enfield Karate Club expects the highest quality for all our Dan grade students

If you have any questions about your grading please ask one of the Sensei's

Karate Fees

Karate session fees can be paid on a pay as you go basis or up front in a 6 session batch.
If you are paying up front, the payment will cover the uninterrupted weeks following the payment. If a student fails to attend training regularly and the session batch period has expired then they will be expected to pay for the individual session or pay for another batch of sessions with the intention of training regularly upon their return to the Dojo.

Come along and give it a try. All ages welcome!
