Your First Lesson

We welcome beginners.

Your first lesson is free. You will be invited to join in with the initial warm up and stretching, but feel free to come and just watch first if you want to see what it’s all about. We will make sure you do not feel out of place, and this first visit will give you a chance to see for yourselves what Washinkai karate can offer you.

You will not be required to wear a gi and can train in normal exercise wear such as t-shirt and jogging bottoms. You will however be required to train in the dojo without footware, unless there is a medical reason for the need of such.

Your first lesson will consist of gentle, warm up exercises, and then the class is usually split into various levels for group learning.

Please read the ‘Dojo Etiquette’ page on this website before attending to give yourself an idea of what etiquette we adhere to in the dojo.

We hope you will enjoy your first lesson and welcome you to our club.
