A class is 1½ hours long and typically consists of a warm-up, technical practise, padwork, sparring and relaxation exercises to finish. Classes are for all levels, so no experience is necessary and you don’t need to be fit or flexible. You don’t need to book either…just bring your normal gym kit and come along. The best way to find out if it’s for you is give it a try! The hardest thing to do is walk through the door, but once you do you won’t look back…
Gradings
Become a black belt! There are 10 colour belt grades before black belt. The syllabus is progressive and builds on previous levels. Gradings are typically every 3 months. Most students can achieve a black belt in about 3-4 years, depending on ability and attendance.
Self Defence Courses
Get street smart. From time to time, we offer short self defence courses. Courses are practical and provide you with the very basic tools and knowledge to defend yourself. Aside from basic techniques, content also includes preparation, strategy, safety and legal issues. Please contact us if you are interested.
