All members having attained Red belt or above will attend at least 1 session every 6 months or 2 sessions throughout the year (one session around April & one session around October) and your instructor will clarify if you need to do more than that.

If you are a black stripe or black belt who is due to take a Dan grading you must also ensure that you attend ALL of the three sessions directly before your grading date.

Simply pick the date(s) you are attending and turn up in your WHITE Dobok. (Please check current messages on our site here, for the dates of sessions over the next 6 to 12 months and just go along).

You can choose to attend more sessions than required if you wish, so just go along. (Any third Kups who might like to attend these sessions need only to ask and obtain their instrucors prior permission).
