Frequently Asked Questions
What to do if you want to come to a class?
There is no need to book classes, just come along to the one that suits your schedule that week. Classes are £8 when you start, for just over one-hours' session. Once you register, classes are £6 per session. We combine a fitness warm up, conditioning and stretching, then on to martial arts techniques, and bring in self-defence too.
Do I need to be fit?
Don't worry about your fitness level, everyone starts at their own pace, and builds up according to their individual abilities.
What should I wear?
Wear track suit bottoms, t-shirt and trainers, and bring some water with you too.
Are classes suitable for everyone?
Classes are suitable for all levels, as we split the grades with separate instructors, and we have new comers starting all the time, so you will always fit in and have an enjoyable session. With more than one instructor per class it means we generally have spaces for newcomers and more advanced students. However, you are always welcome to come down and view a class, with the instructors' permission of course.
Are there any age limits?
Our starting age is from around 5 years, and we have students as mature as 65! However, we do take children from 41/2 onwards, depending on their physical abilities and focus. The best thing to do, is to come to a children's class and he/she can try it out. However, please be advised that we only allow membership for under five's at the discretion of the instructor.
How do I become a member?
If you are interested in membership, the best thing to do is to come down and try a class. If you like it, ask the instructor for membership details. We do have an annual membership scheme, and once you have registered, the classes are £6 per session thereafter.
