Fees
Fees must be payed monthly by standing order. Family rates are available. All details will be in your joining packs or you can email the Instructor for details.
Equipment
All students must have a licence (and membership) before they can take part in any form of contact sparring. Licences are renewed annually. The licence application form will be in your joining pack.
All students must have hand wraps and bag gloves in order to do the pad work. These can be ordered from your Instructor or purchased privately as long as they meet safety standards.
Students will also need to buy a uniform (embroidered with club logo) for gradings and competitions, but this will not be needed until the first/second grading. You may train in light plain sports clothes at the Instructor's discretion (no football shirts or logos please.) JB Kickboxing T-shirts, vests and hoodies can also be purchased from the Instructor which may be worn for training.
All students will also need to purchase sparring kit - safety helmut, gloves, feet protectors, shin guards, elbow guards (optional), mouth guard, and groin guard (for chaps). Head guard and gloves will be needed in time for your third grading (about 9 months after you join if you grade every three months) and the rest for your fourth grading.
All other equipment will be provided by your Instructor, although you may purchase your own if you choose to.
