KUGB Requirements
Individuals may become members of the Karate Union of Great Britain by joining a KUGB club and purchasing a KUGB licence.
An individual must be a member of a currently affiliated KUGB karate club before applying and this will be verified upon application.
The KUGB insurers provide cover to new KUGB club members to train at a KUGB club for up to 3 occasions in order to allow them time to apply for and receive a licence.
The minimum age for joining and training with the KUGB is 4 years old. This is a guideline only and some clubs may have a different minimum age based on their own criteria. You should always check this with the club instructor (Sensei).
There is no maximum age limit for joining and training with the KUGB, and indeed we have many members in their 70’s and over who continue to train hard on a very regular basis.
Benefits of membership to the KUGB
Clubs and their members enjoy many benefits, for information on some of these benefits please click here.
