FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What age can my child start martial arts?

We welcome children from age 6 and above. Our classes are split into age-specific groups, including 6–10, 11–15, and adults, so students learn at the right pace, build confidence, and enjoy training with others in a similar age range.

Do you offer beginner martial arts classes?

Yes. Our classes are beginner friendly and suitable for all experience levels. Whether your child is completely new to martial arts or has trained before, we create a welcoming environment where every student can learn, improve, and feel included.

What should I or my child wear to their first class?

For the first class, your child can wear comfortable sportswear, such as a t-shirt and joggers or shorts. Once they join, we’ll advise you on uniform requirements.

Do I (or my child) need to be fit to start martial arts?

Not at all. You don’t need any level of fitness to begin. Our classes are designed to help you build fitness over time, not expect it from day one.

Many students start with little or no fitness experience, and through regular training they improve their strength, coordination, stamina, and overall health in a fun and supportive environment.

Is martial arts safe?

Yes — safety is our top priority.
All classes are fully supervised, structured, and taught in a controlled environment with a strong focus on respect and discipline.

What happens in the first class?

Your first class is all about making you (or your child) feel comfortable, welcome, and confident.

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the instructor and introduced to the class. There’s no pressure — we understand that starting something new can feel a little daunting, so we take things step-by-step.

The session typically includes a light warm-up, followed by basic techniques and simple drills that are easy to follow, even for complete beginners. You’ll be guided throughout, with plenty of encouragement and support.

For children, classes are fun, structured, and engaging, helping them settle in quickly and feel part of the group.

By the end of the session, most students feel more relaxed, have learned something new, and are already looking forward to coming back.

No experience is needed — just come along and give it a try.

Will martial arts make my child aggressive?

No — in fact, it’s the opposite.
Martial arts teaches control, respect, and discipline, helping children manage emotions and respond calmly rather than react aggressively.

How will martial arts help my child?

Martial arts helps children build confidence, improve focus, and develop discipline.
Many parents also notice better behaviour at home and improved performance at school.

Can parents watch the classes?

Yes — parents are welcome to watch and support their children during classes. But must be quiet so not to distract the rest of the class.

Is it a friendly environment?

Yes — we pride ourselves on being welcoming, supportive, and inclusive.
Our goal is to help every student feel comfortable and confident from day one.
