Training Fees Update 2026–27
Dear Parent / Member
Good news — 26 years without an increase in fees.
As we move into the new financial year, I’m pleased to confirm there will be no increase in training fees for 2026–27.
For over four decades in Arbroath and three in Forfar, we’ve worked hard to build a club based on strong community values — delivering quality coaching, maintaining high standards, and providing a positive,
supportive environment for all.
Our focus remains on:
- •Consistency in training
- •Continuity in development
- •Rewarding loyalty and dedication
These are key to long-term progress in karate.
We continue to offer excellent value, with access to multiple classes each week and additional training opportunities within the dojo.
Our club model remains strong, supported by an engaged Organising Committee and a fantastic group of volunteers who help create opportunities for our members throughout the year.
Some have said — “the best wee karate dojo in Scotland.”
Most importantly, we remain a community-based club built on respect, effort, and shared progress — something we are very proud of.
Family discounts continue to apply.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
