We can still teach you properly and help you improve your karate with the restrictions put in place, whilst putting yours and our safety first. Everyone so far has been respecting the rules so keep up the great work.

There are a few classes with spaces for next week so it's not too late to book on. May we also remind you that we are running ZOOM classes every weeknight. Places at ZOOM classes are unlimited and it costs just £6 per household. This needs to be booked via the APP by 4pm. I send the ZOOM links out each night at 4pm. If you have booked via the APP and are on the class list, you will automatically receive the link. If you book later than 4pm for that evening, you might not receive the link.We are also offering ZOOM Unlimited whereby you pay £30 for 1 month of ZOOM classes. I will send you a ZOOM link to classes every single night for this one off payment.Please note we have changed the times of the Tuesday and Thursday sessions to offer an extra option for those who cannot start as early as 6pm.

Cancellation Policy

Students are able cancel their place(s) at classes via the APP 24 hours before the start time. You can either request a ZOOM link or have credit for a future class. You will need to contact us via email to info@redtigerkarateclub.co.uk with the name of student, your request and reason for cancelling.We have also noticed students booking on a class without paying, training and then paying afterwards. Then if they don't turn up, they haven't paid. This is not fair on other students or the Instructor who has made a class plan appropriate for those they are expecting to teach. To reserve a space at a class you must pay for that class in advance. If this continues in October, all bookings that are not paid for in advance, will be cancelled and spaces will be re-allocated to somebody on the waiting list.

The date of the next ZOOM Grading will be Sunday 1st November. Booking will be via the APP and on a first come, first served basis. Places will be automatically allocated to those on retakes. You will be able to book from Monday 19th October until Monday 26th October or until all spaces are filled (whichever comes sooner). There are no current plans to restart an dojo grading events. ZOOM gradings (although not ideal) are our safest option at the moment.

We have 100 spaces available only and you will need to book your own space via the APP. There is no charge for this session and we expect all spaces to be taken.Only book if you are definitely going to train and only one ZOOM link is needed per household. I can always add on all members of a household after the session so you get a mark for attendance.
