Joining Seishin Shotokan Karate Club

Before the first class

• Contact us to let us know you are coming, especially if you have any injuries which may impact your training
• Check you know where you are going! Check our class times for Brighton and Cuckfield

For your first class

• If, like most people, you do not have a gi (karate uniform), wear suitable sports clothing
• Chat to the instructor, ensure you tell them if you have any injuries
• Have fun! Most people have never trained before – you're not expected to be perfect, just try your best

After your first class

• Speak to the instructor, let them know what you think
• If it's not for you – no loss, as first class is always free of charge!

Interested in grading?

We hold a grading every 4 months. However, only full members of the club will be allowed to grade. KUGB rules state that you must train a minimum of twice a week for three months between gradings in order to be eligible to grade. However, whilst you may be eligible to grade, you must also meet internal club requirements in order to be put forward for grading. The final decision will rest with Sensei Cunningham and his team of instructors.
