You do not need to get ready first.

A structured beginning

Our beginner course introduces the positions, movements and safety habits that make later training productive. Coaches explain what to do, why it matters and how to practise responsibly.

What should I wear?

For your trial, wear fitted sports clothing without zips or pockets. Remove jewellery and keep nails trimmed. We will tell you when a gi is required.

Will I have to spar?

No. Your coach will decide what is appropriate and explain each stage. You are always expected to communicate discomfort and may stop a round.

Am I fit enough?

Start with your current fitness. The ability to train improves through training. You can control your pace and rest when needed.

What happens when I arrive?

Arrive fifteen minutes early. We will introduce you to the coach, show you the facility, explain the class and pair you with a suitable partner.
