Welcome to
East London JKA Karate Club

We bring to your attention for 2012

May International Course Friday 4th to Monday 7th

September Autum International Course  Friday 28th to Sunday 30th

We ask  all students to attend and support these events, Instructors will be from JKA Headquarters and only come on these two ocassions, as a Club we are expected to fully support these events.

We would advice students to attend at least the weekend if you cannot attend the whole course.

Please note that we will be taking names plus a £5 deposit for a weekend coach to do Saturday and Sunday for both courses, the only way this will happen is if we have a full coach. If interested please see the Instructor. We will work on a first come first served basis.

Please be aware that once you have paid your deposit, in the unlikely event that you can not attend, you will be expected to pay the full amount for the fare, we will try our best to find a replacement student, but if it is not possible then you will need to pay.

For  a ball parker figure the cost for travel be £20 for two days for the coach plus daily cost of two days training £55 ( last years prices ). Total cost £75 – £80  to attend the course Saturday Sunday.

 Please note your license will not be stamped if you only attend two days. The cost of the training can be paid on the day, this will be done by the instructor after collecting the fees for everyone.We will also need to fill in a Disclaimer for everyone, under 18,  parents will need to sign this, again no disclaimer no course.(Disclaimers will be available two weeks before the course ask Instructor)

The cost is quite high but there again so is the standard of tuition, we have given plenty of warning so that we can all save up and try to get to these events that happen twice a year.

ALL STUDENTS NEED AN IN-DATE JKA LICENSE TO ATTEND ALL JKA ENGLAND COURSES NO LICENSE NO COURSE!!

All brown belts must attend if they are to attempt Shodan grading in the future, do note that brown belts need to have two full sessions stamped on their license before grading for shodan.( if you have not attended two courses before hand we cannot put you forward for black belt grading even if you passed your assesment with the Club, these are regulations from the Association). One of the sessions can be the one attended on the day of your Shodan exam.

There are also regional courses which all of us can attend, again we would organise something if there are sufficent students/parents to fill the coach minimum of 45.

Thank you for your support with the Club

We would like to thank all the staff at Sydney Rusell School Leisure Centre particularly Mr Brian Roberts Sydney Russell School Sports Development Officer for inviting us to host a six week Karate taster course.

We are very happy to report that the course was a total success and it was well attended all six weeks.
