1. Martial arts particularly Jiu Jitsu are practiced closely with your training partners. Please ensure that your clothes, body and breath are clean and free from unpleasant odors.

2. Please only wear simple, smooth attire. This means no zips, buttons, grommets, ornaments, metal-tipped drawstrings, or any other hardware or accessories that could hurt you or your training partner.

3. Kindly remove all watches, jewellery and piercings that could scratch you or your training partner.

4. Martial Arts is practiced barefoot. Please no shoes on the mat at any time.

5. Everyone who wants to participate in our community must treat each other with respect and courtesy. We reserve the right to remove any person from the class we feel is engaging in harassing, discriminatory or intimidating behaviour, or otherwise causing a disruption to the class. In short, please be nice.

Do I need any experience?

No former experience is necessary, people can enjoy learning Martial Arts from any starting point or level of fitness. In our class, we train as a team and encourage all our students to help each other and improve together.

Do I need to be in shape to start?

There is absolutely no experience or fitness background required to start training Martial Arts with us. The class is designed to encourage and welcome people. If it gets too intense for where you are at the moment, you can take breaks and hydrate as needed during the class. Plus, if you stick with it, your fitness will rapidly improve.

What equipment will I need?

In Jiu Jitsu, our bodies are the training equipment. All you need to start is an open mind and comfortable workout attire with no zips, buttons, or hardware. As you progress, a mouth guard is recommended as a safety precaution. If you are interested, we can recommend some more grappling specific attire.

In Striking the same applies as in Jiu Jitsu but you will need gloves and eventually shin guards if you want to spar.
