What does my child need to bring each day?
Comfortable sports clothes (shorts, tracksuit bottoms and trainers and a jumper/waterproof) you are also more than welcome to buy a kids t-shirt for them to train in (in black or white £15 speak to an instructor to get one in the right size). Please make sure clothes are labelled where possible.
A change of clothes (especially for the young ones as accidents do happen)
Lunch (no nuts please) and two healthy snacks (kung fu camp is hearty work!)
A water bottle (very important!)
All equipment will be provided but if your child wants to continue to learn San Da (kickboxing, I strongly suggest buying gloves and shin guards).
Enthusiasm and a will to learn new things!
What if my child has any medication?
Please complete the new student form and include all details of required medication. All medication must be handed in at registration. Please allow extra time for this when dropping off.
Medication is kept in a secure, centralised first aid box, to ensure that if a reaction, attack or incident should occur whilst on camp, the medication will be administered in good time, by a qualified first aider in the most efficient and reliable way.
Staff will not administer ‘over the counter’ medication, only that prescribed by the child’s GP.
Adrenaline auto-injector
If your child carries an adrenaline auto-injector (an EpiPen) please try to ensure that two adrenaline auto-injectors are handed in to the Lead First Aider at your camp. We request two EpiPens to ensure the safest and fastest administration of first aid treatment, should a reaction occur in our care. This is also advised by The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency stating “In some cases, a single injection is not sufficient to achieve a response for a number of reasons, including severity of attack as well as the possibility that a dose has not been effectively administered; a second injection may therefore be needed.”
Auto-adrenaline Injector 1 – Held in the site’s secure centralised first aid box.
Auto-adrenaline Injector 2 – Held by your child’s Activity Instructor and moved around Camp with your child all day.
Children will not be allowed to stay on camp if the adrenaline auto-injectors handed in are out of date, or they are not appropriately labelled with the child’s name.
Asthma inhalers
Reliever inhalers travel with the child’s group, enabling instant access to this medication if required for self-administration. If my child is unable to self-administer, the inhalers will be kept in the centralised first aid box.

How does the grading work?
If we all feel your child is ready at the end of the week they may take their first (or next) grading. There is absolutely no rush or pressure to grade. The grading will take place on the last Friday in the afternoon and you are welcome to attend to show your support. The grading costs £15. The first rank syllabus is available here . If you have any questions please speak to Sifu Mark directly.
