Welcome to the News Pages.

Take some time to look at the other posts and the amazing artwork our students did during last years lockdowns.

We are a Karate club with fantastic members. Covid has challenged us all but we are so proud that we have managed to keep going and changed our training to keep people safe. This summer as normal we have reduced the face to face classes and increased the number of classes online.

Our Face to Face classes are

Collingham 10.30am Saturday

Calcutt 7.30pm Thursday

These are bookable via the online shop. We welcome new starters and returning Karateka to both these classes. The halls are at the biggest we use but we still have to limit numbers.

Online Classes with Unlimited participation. A weeks online classes costs you only £5 for everyone in your house.

Tuesday 5pm all grades and beginners welcome
Thursday 5pm all grades and beginners welcome
Thursday 5:30pm everyone welcome Upbeat class with fitness
Saturday 9:30am Cho Dan Bo and above
Saturday 10am all Grades and beginners welcome
Sunday 5pm all grades and beginners welcome

You can book into the face to face classes or buy an online passcode each week by visiting our shop

We have some simple rules for online training which you can find on the events pages.

Gradings

Yes we will be organising a Grading for September/October date TBC, so don’t let up in your training. We can now incorporate our full syllabus in class so will be able to guide students through their one and three step moves along with grabs and applications.

Safety

We are still operating Covid protections such as limiting numbers, Venting the dojang (room) regularly using hand sanitiser during class, sanitising pads and encouraging those with any respiratory conditions to refrain from training. If you have any questions or concerns please speak to an instructor or email the enquiries email. We want you to be safe and feel safe when you train.

T-Shirts - those who ordered T-Shirts should have received an electronic invoice and as soon as they arrive they will be distributed.

Autumn Classes

We hope to add additional face to face classes in the Autumn. We are aware that Roundhay at 5 on Thursday is a challenge to many who liked to train at 6 but we lost our slot to the trampolines. As soon as we know about new classes you will read it here.

Master McKenna Seminars

We hope to deliver some unique seminars with the Chief Instructor this summer to add to the face to face classes above.

Thats all for now

Pil Seung!

Its been a long time coming but we are back!!

Collingham and Pannal have capacity of 20 and 15 respectively and have been booked out quickly. Roundhay has a capacity currently of 18 and was not full this last week. Please book in early to avoid losing out.

We are mindful that students will be disappointed if they cannot book a place and if this happens to you please email enquiries@martialartsforlife.co.uk and let us know. The online booking system does not tell us how many unsuccessful bookings occurred and we will add extra hours or establish additional locations if we see the demand.

It was brilliant to see our students coming back alongside some new beginners and even Karateka returning from years ago ready to step back into training.

If you know someone thinking about giving karate a go, there is no greater honour bestowed upon the club than your recommendation. We cannot offer free taster sessions in Dojangs currently but they can have a free online session. Remember also that Master Amin has created 7 starter sessions which are free on our Vimeo pages. They are a great way of building someones confidence before walking into the Dojang.

We have already opened up Collingham Memorial Hall for under 18s and because we need to manage attendance this is currently booking only through the online shop.

After the 17th May we hope - if the Government allows - to restart our other 2 main classes in Leeds and Harrogate. These will be mixed adult and children and again will have to be booked in advance. There will be more information about this as we complete the risk assessments required by the venues and we consult further with the instructing team.

Thank you all for remaining with the club through this very difficult time. We know what a challenge it has been to retain some form of ‘normal’ and appreciate your continued support.

Once we have an idea of commitment and class sizes we will look to either add additional hours or reopen some of the more smaller venues we use.

Regards

Master Crocker
