CLUB T-SHIRTS
We've had lots of requests for club T-shirts recently. Thanks for your patience. We now have a new supplier and will place an order this week. T-shirts are plain white, good quality, with Merthyr Wado club logo embroidered on left chest.

Going forward, dress code at classes will be full karate kit or karate trousers with white club T-shirt and belt. Navy WKKU T-shirts should ideally be reserved for competitions and squad/fight sessions although if you already own, wear it if you like.

Kids (£11): 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/13 yrs
Adults (£12): Small, Medium, Large, etc.

Pls let us know this week if you'd like to order, as we won't be keeping much stock.
