Beginners
New to training? Start here.
If you've never done a combat sport, you're in the right place. No fitness level, background or experience is expected — just a willingness to learn.
Do I need previous experience?
No. Beginners sessions are built for people starting from scratch. You'll learn how to move, fall and defend before anything live.
How do I choose a session?
Use the class finder below, or send a message with what you're interested in. We'll recommend the right first session for you.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable training kit — a fitted t-shirt and shorts or leggings. We'll confirm full kit guidance, including anything you can borrow, when you book.
How are sessions structured?
Sessions run through a warm-up, technical drilling with a partner and progressive live work. Coaching is step by step, with no pressure to spar before you're ready.
Is sparring compulsory?
We'll confirm the academy's policy on live training for newcomers when you book. Nothing is forced before you're comfortable.
Can I borrow equipment?
We'll let you know what's available to borrow and what to bring once your first session is confirmed.
