What a class actually looks like
Every class follows the same three priorities, whatever your rank or experience. Nobody gets thrown into the deep end on day one.
01
Realistic skill development
Skills that hold up against a resisting partner, not just in cooperative drilling.
02
A good workout
Every session moves, at a pace that suits your level.
03
Having fun
Training should be something you look forward to. Kids especially thrive in this format.

Before you come in
Common questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Most people who walk in have never trained before, and every class has beginners in it.
Do I need to be fit first?
No. You get fit by training. Set your own pace, and sit a round out whenever you need to.
Will I have to spar on day one?
You will not be thrown into hard sparring on day one. First classes are drilling and positional work at a pace that suits you.
What should I wear?
Shorts and a t-shirt without zips or pockets. Bring a water bottle.
Do I need to buy a gi or gloves?
Not to start. We have loaner gear for your first classes. Buy your own once you know you're sticking with it.
How young can kids start?
Four. The youngest groups focus on movement, balance and simple positions, and there is no striking in the kids programme.
What happens after the free week?
We'll talk about membership if you want to. There's no automatic rollover and no card on file, so nothing happens unless you decide it does.
