BEFORE YOU COME
A few useful answers.
Can I start without martial arts experience?
Yes. Our regular adult BJJ and kickboxing classes and Wednesday adult MMA class welcome beginners. Saturday Beginner BJJ is a dedicated No-Gi session at 12:30–13:30. You can book a free first taster on the timetable. For a child, choose a class for their age group.
Is there parking and step-free access?
On-site parking and step-free access, with separate male and female changing facilities, toilets and showers.
What should I wear?
For No-Gi BJJ, kickboxing or MMA, wear clean, comfortable sports clothing without hard fittings or very baggy material. Bring water. Gloves and shin pads are available to borrow for kickboxing and MMA. Gi BJJ needs a Gi; rental is £5 per class if you need one. Bring sliders or flip-flops for changing and toilet areas; there are no shoes on the mats.
Can I borrow a Gi?
Gi rental is £5 per session. Let the team know before your first Gi class if you need to hire one.
Do I need experience for MMA?
No. Our Wednesday adult MMA class welcomes complete beginners, including people who have only watched it on TV or played the games. Book your taster in advance and introduce yourself to the coach when you arrive.
Which kids group should we choose?
Choose Saturday kids MMA for ages 3–5 or 6–8. For ages 9–14, regular junior BJJ and kickboxing welcome beginners. Junior MMA and Monday Advanced Junior Gi BJJ need a coach to check suitability first. Under-3s need to wait until age 3; for ages 15 and over, ask the team about adult classes.
How do free tasters work?
Free tasters must be booked in advance and taken in a class. Open mat sessions are not included. Gi rental is £5 if you need one.
