How to enrol:

There is only one question when choosing a martial arts school:

Does this school fit my needs?

Ask yourself these six questions:

1. Do I want to train in martial arts to learn self protection?
2. Do I want small classes?
3. Do I want more personal instruction?
4. Do I want classes taught primarily by the owner of the school?
5. Do I want one set cost without surprising extras like membership dues or constant testing fees?
6. Do I want serious training but with good humour and enjoyment?

If you answered yes to the above questions then our school should meet your needs.

However, you can only really know if this is the school for you by trying it out.

The Wilson Karate School strongly believes that you should have an opportunity to learn what the school teaches and how they train before you are asked for any commitment of your time.

• We offer one week of free classes with no obligations.
• Then we offer a two month trial period for the standard rates; however, you uniform is also provided.
• After the free week of classes and the two month trial period we ask that you commit to training for a year.  We ask for this commitment because we make the commitment to you to keep the classes small and the instruction more personal.

Call 413-4500 to arrange for your free week of classes.
