What age can my kid start training?
We have classes available from 3 years old.
What will my kid need to wear to class?
Just normal athletic clothes and bring a drink bottle.
What's the point of the kids confidence class?
Our kids confidence program is the first program most kids start with. It's designed as an introduction to the martial arts environment and is largely based around games and self defense. The program aims to teach discipline, confidence, teamwork, strength, coordination and listening skills.
When can my child graduate from kids confidence?

Toddlers class - Saturday mornings at 8.30
Kids confidence - Monday and Wednesday at 3.45pm

No! We recommend it in a safe and controlled way, but it's definitely not compulsory.

What is the cost of classes?
Class costs depend on which gym you're training at, how often you'll look to train and if you're a first responder or not. For more info, send us a message and we'll go through the specific costs with you.
What kind of equipment do I need?
None! We have shared gear available for those that don't have any equipment, so that you don't need to go out and buy any before you get started. However, if you did want your own equipment we recommend pocketless shorts and a training shirt. Very that most people will train in a rashguard. For MMA, we like our students to train in 7oz MMA gloves, and shin guards will be essential for sparring as well. Mouthguards are essential for sparring and will protect your beautiful teeth during hard training.
What is the dress code?
Just general athletic or MMA or BJJ training clothes is fine. We ask that you shower before class and wash ALL of your training clothes after every practice. Poor hygiene in such close contact situations will not be tolerated
