What happens when I turn up?
A good martial arts school knows that the most important task is looking after our newcomers, after all, the first step is the biggest and most important!
One of our friendly coaches will greet you to give you an overview of the class and venue, check a few quick details and introduce you to our warm and welcoming family.
Please wear tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt to your first class and we will provide a suit (or ‘Gi’) for you to borrow. If you have an existing martial arts uniform, bring it as it may be fine to wear (white or blue only though please), and also a flat drink in a bottle. Finally, please make us aware of any medical conditions (such as Asthma for example).
Pricing;
First lesson is always FREE, and your insurance is not required for 4 sessions, to make sure you’re enjoying it. After that classes are priced depending on training but start from £28 monthly. Private classes are also available on request.
Membership/Insurance is obtained via the British Judo Association (click Link), but let us now of any questions.
