A reminder that late fees will incur an additional £5 for each person if the payment has not cleared by the 7th of each month.
If you are not currently training, but wish to remain on our register, then there is a minimum £5/month to cover registration fees or you can elect to be archived. Note that there will be a £20 administrative fee to reactivate your membership.
Training Protocols
All students will be required to bring hand safety to each class. Yellow belts and above will also require foot safety.
Please purchase your own using the guide at the end of the newsletter.
It’s important that students dress correctly for training.
Uniforms should not be crumpled when attending the class.
If you wear a T-Shirt under the uniform then the colour needs to match the uniform which for most students will be white.
Belts need to be tied correctly.
Eligibility for Testing
To be eligible to test requires a student to have met 2 criteria.
First complete a minimum of classes as below
No stripe on the belt – 14 classes
A stripe on the belt – 7 classes
You can check the number of classes on our school website under the Members Section. The below link will take you to the page
On the page you can see the number of classes that you’ve attended since joining or since the last testing.
Then in the Next Grading column
If green then you’ll have enough classes by the testing date
If amber then you may be 1-2 classes short so try and attend a few extra classes
If red then you will be short by too many so best to work toward the next test date
Second must be competent with their syllabus. This will be an in class assessment carried out by the Instructors in the weeks running up to the test date. They will only recommend a student being put forward for the testing where they can see the student is carrying out the syllabus to a good standard.

Hand and Foot Safety
The current syllabus requires students carrying out defence drills to make light contact. The equipment can be purchased from wherever is most convenient for you.
– White belt senior and above, dipped foam hand safety.
– Yellow belt and above, dipped foam foot safety.
The Playwell site has a number of gloves. Below is an example with the CKD logo but any of a similar style will be permitted. Boxing gloves are not allowed.
The Playwell site has a number of boots. Below is an example with the CKD logo but either this style or the dipped foam style will be permitted. These are designed to be generally worn without shoes and the fit needs to ensure that the toes are always covered. If wearing shoes then a larger size will be needed plus adjustments will generally need to be made. Please discuss this with an instructor in class if you want to do this.
