We are pleased to announce some sort of return to karate training, albeit a bit limited. With the exception of Bletchley, training will be outdoors. Outdoor training will be performed in track suit or jogging suit and trainers (with the exception of Newton Longville who will be wearing gis.) Please be aware there are not any toilets or changing facilities at outdoor venues so make sure you have not filled up with fluid before arrival and ensure you have taken advantage of your facilities before leaving home.
It is hoped to return to dojos soon but meanwhile please bear with us. We very much regret that at the moment students may only train at their usual dojo and may not visit other clubs.
