Learn Karate @ RKK

We accept men, women and children, fitness is not an issue as you will gain all the fitness you need during training, however we do advise for adults that (as with all exercise) you may wish to consult your G.P. before beginning training.

To begin all you'll need is a T-Shirt and jogging trousers, you wont need any special foot wear as we don't wear any form of training shoes in the dojo. You might want to bring a drink of water as you'll find it can be thirsty work!

The club trains at the Rhondda campus of Coleg Morgannwg in Llwynypia. For a map and directions to the college please click on this link.

After an introductory period of 8 sessions and should you decided to continue training at the dojo, you will need to join the British Kyokushinkai Karate (B.K.K.) and purchased a membership licence.

Membership of the B.K.K costs £30 a year for new Seniors and £18.00 a year for new Juniors and allows you to participate in grading's (see the grading section of our site) or enter many of the competitions run by the B.K.K ever year.

You will also need to buy a Gi (White Karate suit), sparring mitts and shin/instep pads. Don't worry though, as our instructor can offer lots of helpful advise about what you'll need.

Training is often structured into four main sections:

Each section has a range of complexity to suit the different skill levels or grades of the student.

Remember! Whatever your age or ability, come along and see the difference our training will make to your fitness and confidence. We offer training for both junior and seniors members. Juniors may train from the age of 6yrs until 16yrs.
