Frequently Asked Questions
Is any prior experience required?
No prior experience is required whatsoever. Our classes are designed for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. You'll be guided safely through your first class by an experienced training partner.
What ages do you cater for?
We have classes for kids from 7 years old, teens aged 13–17, and adults 18+. Each group is coached at an appropriate level with age-specific considerations for safety and development.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
Absolutely not — this is the number one reason people delay starting. The training gets you fit. Come as you are and build up over weeks and months. Prior fitness won't hurt, but it's definitely not important or required.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Membership runs monthly from the 1st of each month with no long-term contracts. We want you to stay because you love training — not because a contract forces you to.
What do I need to bring to my first session?
Comfortable gym clothes (t-shirt and shorts) are fine to start. If you want to train BJJ, we’ll guide you on how to get a uniform (gi).
Is it suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Our classes are beginner-friendly, and we pride ourselves on being welcoming and supportive. No experience or fitness level is required to start.
