Fees

First two weeks

Completely free. This offers you a no commitment chance to try out the club over a period of time and see if it’s for you.

Pay as you go rates

We charge less for our shorter weekday sessions, and limit the cost to £7 a week. So, if you train both weekday sessions, the Sunday session only costs £1.

Day Time Price
Monday 1730-1930 £3
Thursday 1800-2000 £3
Sunday 1000-1300 £4
Total 7 hours £7 (would be £11, but we limit to £7/w)

Term Fees for “Obsessive Members”

An “Obsessive Member” is one who trains twice or more per week every week. If you train 2 or more sessions a week on average throughout the term, you will be eligible for an upfront discount rate of £60 for next term. This works out to around £1.70 a session if you attend 3 sessions a week for the term (36 sessions).

Our financial philosophy

Shorinji Kempo is a non-profit-making martial art meaning that the instructors are not allowed to earn their living from teaching it. This means that we can keep training costs down and you can save your money for food, studies and beer (though perhaps not in that order).

Uniform

If you decide that ShorinjiKempo is for you, then you may want to buy yourself a dogi (the white training uniform) – this costs between £20 to £30 depending on size and quality (the club organises this). We also strongly advise gentlemen to buy a groin protector (box/cup); this costs about £5.
