GETTING STARTED / WHAT TO EXPECT?
New Students are welcome to join at any time. We tailor the sessions and lesson plans each week to accommodate students of all ability.
We accept males and females of all ages, never too old to learn new skills.
Juniors: You must be over 12 years if age (We are reviewing of opening a young juniors class)
No martial arts experience necessary, there is no advantage for new students with previous MA background as we train as a team and have all different levels of fitness, health, knowledge & experience.
FREE first time whether you participate or watch.
We are the only Users of the Hall in the evening so no distractions or disruptions.
