How much do lessons cost?

At Atherstone Karate Club, we believe in keeping things clear and straightforward, so parents and students always know what to expect when it comes to costs. Our goal is to make training affordable and accessible to everyone.

Lesson Fees

Your first lesson is completely free! After that, it’s just £5 per class—no monthly fees, direct debits, or contracts. You only pay when you attend.
We also offer a family discount for parents, children, and even grandparents who train together!

Annual License and Insurance

After four weeks of training, students are required to obtain an annual licence through our governing body, the Shukokai Karate Association. This licence includes personal insurance and a grading book. The cost is:

£23 per year for students up to purple belt.
£39 per year for students at brown belt and above.

Gradings (Belt Tests)

All gradings are conducted by senior instructors of the Shukokai Karate Association. The costs are:

£25 per grading up to purple belt.
£35 per grading for higher belts.
£70 for the 1st Dan black belt.

Equipment

We don’t require you to buy equipment directly from us. You’re free to purchase uniforms and protective gear from any retailer, and we’re happy to advise you on what to get. If you prefer the convenience of buying through the club, we have a price list available. As a guide, training uniforms (gi) start from £20.

We’re committed to making your karate journey flexible, affordable, and family-friendly. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
