Fees and payments
How much does membership cost?
Membership is an annual fee covering 40 weeks of term-time classes, paid as 12 equal monthly payments:
- Single person: £50 a month
- Siblings (2 children): £90 a month
- Family (3 or more): £120 a month
Why do I pay during the school holidays and August?
We run in school terms only and don't teach in the holidays. The annual fee already covers just the 40 weeks of classes, and it's spread over 12 equal monthly payments to make it easier to manage. That's why payments continue through the holidays and August.
When is payment due?
Payment is due on the 1st of each month.
How do I cancel?
Cancelling requires one month's paid notice. Please contact us to let us know.
Uniform and trial classes
What can be worn in class?
Only karate suits and equipment from Forza Karate Club's own shop may be worn in class. Please don't buy kit elsewhere. Buy from our online shop or ask your instructor.
Can I try a class first?
Yes — come and try it out. A trial class is £10, booked and paid online. The £10 is for the trial only and isn't taken off membership; if you join, membership starts the week after at the full monthly rate.
