What do I need to wear?

When you first start, just loose confortable clothes. Eventually, you may wish to purchase a Gi (uniform).

How fit do I need to be to start?

It is about you. Your fitness level will increase with your training. You’ll get fitter and fitter the more regularly you train.

Should you have any pre-exisiting conditions please let your instructor know.

What do I need to bring?

When you first start, bring water. You might want to bring a towel too if you sweat a lot. Eventually, when you have a Gi, belt, sparring gear, you might want to get a bag to put all these items in.

What’s it cost to train?

The monthly training fees are set individually by each dojō. Some dojō have per class fees. Please approach the Instructor about the fees at that Dojō.

There is an annual membership fee. This fee goes towards the administration of ABKGSCR and is not retained by the individual dojō. This fee may change over time. It is due in February each year and is paid on a pro-rata basis depending on when you start training. 

Also, your fees include the ability to train at any of our Dojō at no additional cost. If there is a special class on, you may be asked to contribute to the cost of the class.
