darksoul Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 My guess is it's just a membership Shodan - Shaolin Kempo███████████████▌█
vantheman Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 My guess is it's just a membershipI would have to agree. Some schools offer a pre-paid 12 month payment, usually with a lower per-month cost. If you see yourself sticking with karate for a while, it may be something you should look into. Van

JohnnyB Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Your club must be affiliated to one of the popular world karate federations and they provide you with a "licence" that needs renewal every year that notes inside your current kyu/dan grade and personal info.
DWx Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Licence will be a membership to the school and their organisation. As you're in the UK, the licence fee will most likely include some kind of insurance too and certify you for competition. If you're licensed to train it usually = insured to train. Least that's how it works in TKD over here. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius
GaryMo Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I pay a license fee to the KUGB annually which is required to grade, enter competitions and enables you to participate in any of the free courses offered over the year.It also functions as a record book for your grade and does indeed offer limited insurance.I also pay a second fee for club membership which goes towards the running cost of our club.
DoctorQui Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 My guess is it's just a membershipIn my experience the membership fee is usually separate. The license is normally related to the insurance and qualifies you to grade. The license (book) is also usually your grading record.
jaypo Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 While I was training with Blair, I was grading thru the ISKF. But I never had a license, nor was I required to pay for one. The system I'm in now grades under the ASKF. No contract or license though. Seek Perfection of CharacterBe FaithfulEndeavorRespect othersRefrain from violent behavior.
