Lessons start promptly at the advertised times, so ideally aim to get here at least 5 minutes early, if its your first session make it 10 so we can do a bit of quick paperwork with you

We cater for all fitness and experiance levels - however you will be pushed to perform to your potential, so be ready to sweat!

• I've never done anything like this before, what should I expect?

Complete beginners are more than welcome, we make sure to start with the basics and build the techniques up slowly, as your confidence and ability improves we'll build upon this and develop the skills and fitness you need to progress. 

• Will I need any specialist equipment?

We have spare gloves and shin pads, if you have your own then feel free to bring them along, we can recommend brands and styles when you do wish to purchase your own

Feel free to drop us a message or give us a call and we can advise, our beginners still cover a wide variety of experience levels - so if in doubt come along - first lesson is free!

• Do I have to spar?

For many of our students sparing is the 'best bit' however our normal classes focus on technique and fitness, sparing is something we build up to over time once everyone is comfortable with each others styles and control levels - you'll also never be expected to do anything you don't feel comfortable with, many students come for the fitness and the fun of training is enough.
