Christmas Break 2024

We would like to inform everybody that the last lesson for 2024 will be on Sunday 22 December at Kelsey Kerridge.

The first session for 2025 will be on Thursday 2 January at Kelsey Kerridge. There will be no lesson between the above dates.

CARISMA and its instructors wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all members and their loved ones, looking forward to seeing you all back for a fantastic beginning of 2025.

In case you would like to join CARISMA in the new year please read this post about the next beginners’ course

Beginners Course January 2025

Book NowIf you are total beginner the next CARISMA beginners course will start on Tuesday 21 January 2025 at 5:45pm to run for 4 consecutive Tuesday and Thursday  classes (e.g. 21, 23, 28 and 30 January).

We would like to gather numbers to be prepared so it would be great if you could leave, confidentially, your name in this form. Also please make sure to turn up before 5:45pm at Kelsey Kerridge as there might be a long queue.

According to our philosophy martial arts take time to be learnt to a minimum level of proficiency; it makes sense for you to join the beginners course just if you are available to attend it until its end, with the intention of joining our club after the beginners course ends and train with us for the months to come. Please refrain from joining if you are leaving Cambridge immediately after the beginners course ends.
