Frequently Asked Questions



I HAVE A DISABILITY. CAN I STILL COME?



Yes! You will be welcome to attend regardless of your disability. Our instructor will work with you to make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy the class.



I AM VERY UNFIT AND DON'T NORMALLY EXERCISE. IS THIS OK?



Yes! As you attend the classes, your fitness will improve without you even realising. All our activities are designed to make sure you're having fun and learning while using your body. You will be supported within your limits.



I HAVE NEVER DONE MARTIAL ARTS OR ANY OTHER SPORTS. IS THIS OK?



Most of our new-starters have never done any martial arts before, and that is totally ok! We run a beginners class and will teach you everything you need to know.



CAN I BRING MY CHILDREN WHILE I ATTEND THE WOMEN'S CLASS?



If you don't have childcare while your class is on, we have a waiting area with a sofa and some chairs where children or friends can wait safely. You will still be responsible for your child.



WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY FIRST CLASS?



- Comfortable sports clothes such as leggings, shorts, or jogging bottoms and a couple of top layers, you might start off cold but will soon warm up.

- A water bottle.

- Any footwear is ok because you will take off your shoes and socks when you arrive.

- Arrive at least 10 minutes before your class begins.



WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN MY FIRST CLASS?



In your first few classes you will be encouraged to join in and copy along. We always begin with a gentle warm up, and then move onto our basic techniques. We will give you a 'class buddy' (normally the person next to you) and you can copy what they're doing.


It's totally normal to not know what you are doing for your first few classes. The best thing to do is copy the others in the class and before you know it you will be teaching the next newbie!
