Confidence, self esteem and a level of fitness to your own ability – not that of others.
First sessions tend to be T shirt and loose fitting trousers or track suit bottoms, club instructors usually have or certainly can get a Gi (white suit) for you.
Yes. The WKU have two tournaments a year but we are also invited to many more, including national events, run by the English Karate Federation – our governing body.
How long is a piece of string? It depends on ability and how many times you train per week. Generally as you train and move up through the grades you will attend courses and train more times each week than a beginner would. I would estimate someone training a minimum of twice per week, attending courses as often as they can could be ready after about five years. Don’t be fooled into these “Get your black belt in six weeks” type of clubs, that black belt is only any good for holding your trousers up!
From five years upwards.
All WKU instructors across the country have been verified through the DBS system and all instructors are PI insured.
