Club Membership
Students, especially juniors are continually being assessed, (whether they realise it or not). Beginners must be 'signed off' by two instructors in order to be accepted as club members, there is a one time only payment with club membership. This level of membership is compulsory after 6 weeks or 6 lessons (which ever is the sooner). Members of the club are able to apply for an association licence and take part in specialist training courses and competitions.

To maintain transparency within the Club, Hartlepool Wadokai does NOT issue licence's. Each student is responsible for renewing their own licence annually. Club members 'should' secure an Aiwakai Licence, though other licence's may be allowed as long as they come with adequate insurance cover and the association is affiliated to the English Karate Federation (EKF).

The Venue
All training sessions take place in the Belle Vue Community Centre on Kendal Road, Hartlepool. The Dojo (training hall) has sprung wooden flooring and we use our own jigsaw mats for practising falls etc... The Dojo also has mirrors along one wall which is great for checking your stances.
We use the Sports Hall for all our larger events as it is large enough for us to have two full size matted competition areas.
