Introduction
In today's world there are many karate styles/clubs and, somebody who has no knowledge of martial arts faces a difficult decision over which club to choose.
WSKC do not target people's ignorance of karate by trying to sell ‘get-good-quick' schemes.
There are no fast and easy ways to become proficient in the martial art of karate.
WSKC is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to teaching traditional Shotokan karate through quality instruction.
To cover the hire charges for our two dojos, modest training fees are charged at the rates shown below.
WSKC do not charge a membership or joining fee.
To encourage new students to experience karate and join WSKC the first class is FREE

Payments become due on the 1st of each calendar month, and allow a karateka unlimited training at our Worcester dojos throughout that particular month.
Monthly payments have the bonus of significant discounts over pay per class and, at the same time act as encouragement for our karateka to train on a regular basis.
* Karateka only able to train once each week will still be welcomed at WSKC.
The pay per class fee will continue to apply in this instance.
