Ramadan Mubarak

We would like to wish our Muslim members and families who are observing the holy month a ‘Blessed Ramadan’.

As Sunset occurs during some of our later evening classes, students observing Ramadan are able to request a water break in order to break their fast.

Just let your Sensei know at the beginning of the class.

April Competitions

Good luck to Kata Squad members Lola Girault and Jaime Pratley attending the British Karate Federation (BKF) Championships this weekend. We are behind you! Do your best :-)

Squad Classes

The next Kata Squad Class will be taking place on Monday 17th April and the next Kumite Squad Class will be taking place on Monday 24th April.

Class Booking System

May we give you a gentle reminder to book onto classes in good time. It helps our Sensei’s to plan out classes properly and cater to the students expected. It is difficult to formulate a class plan when students book on at the very last minute. Please try to book your classes where possible at least one to two days in advance. The APP is being updated this month and will feature our Club name and logo, your username and password will be unaffected. If you would like to be able to book for siblings and family members under one login, please email us at info@redtigerkarateclub.co.uk with the names of all family members and we will link together all the accounts.

Karate Uniform Bundles

Did you know we offer discounts on Karate Uniforms when you are ordering 2 or more. Click here to see our family discounts…. 2 or more karate uniforms .

This offer is open to all members, not just beginners. Remember, you do not have to pay for home delivery, members can collect items at classes free of charge.

Bootcamp/Kyu Gradings will be back in May

There is no BOOTCAMP this month due to Easter, the B + B Course and Cadet Class

Bootcamp will be back in May along with our next Club Kyu Grading to be held at Kearsley Academy on Sunday 14th May.
