GKR Karate is a con..

GKR is the biggest con in the world.. They brainwash all the 'employees' into working for free or next to nothing. Although they are not 'employees' they are classed as self-employed distributors so GKR can AVOID the tax man (words of the regional manager). They are breaking all employment laws by stipulating the working week of the "Self Defence Consultant" with 10 hour days involving meetings, training, door knocking etc. This is clearly the structure of an employed position so how can they catergorise it as 'self-employed'. If you were working for GKR in this capacity you could easily take them to a tribunal, who would rule that you are classed as employed. This is despite the fact that you sign an agreement stating your not employed.. (also my agreement was wrong.. it stated it was between me and GKR karate admin services LLB, however the company number relates to GKR Karate UK Ltd - so this is invalid anyway haha) In summary this is NOT a martial arts school it is a pyramid selling scheme designed to make money for the man at the top. Also they are currently being investigated by HMCR.. Feel free to phone them if you wish to complain (you don't even have to give your name) Tel 0845 60 55 999 or 0161 9308445
