FAQ’s

Where & when are the classes?

Please see our Classes page for our full list of classes, times, location and map.

How much are the classes?

Please see our Pricing page. Classes are paid as and when you attend.

Should I stay to watch my children in class?

This is completely up to you. We do find some children can be distracted by their parents watching, however we trust that you use your own discretion regarding this.

What should be worn until a uniform is purchased?

Any comfortable gym or PE style clothing.

Do I need to bring anything with me to class?

Always bring a bottle of still water and a hand towel if you wish. Once you have purchased your Mitts and Pads set, that should be bought to each session.

How often should I train?

You should/can train as often as you are able, time permitting. Once a week as a minimum is fine when starting out, but 2/3 times will give you the best results and is expected of all brown/black belts.

The more you give, the more you will get and the faster you will progress.

How long does it take to get a black belt?

This depends on your effort, attendance and progress. Generally a minimum of 5 years consistent training would be required.
