FAQ
Do I need previous experience to start?
No. When you first start with us you’ll meet with an instructor to find out your current skill and fitness levels. And then we’ll make sure you’re training to your ability during each session.
Can I try a class before I join?
Absolutely. In fact, we insist!
We want to make sure we’re a good fit with each other, before you commit. Just follow the links or give us a call to make a time
How old do you need to be to start MMA?
The earliest we commence MMA training is 18. Prior to this, we recommend students participate in Freestyle Martial Arts, Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Boxing for Fitness to develop technique and skills.
Under 18s wanting to train will require a parental interview.
Do you train women in MMA?
Absolutely! Some of our women are excellent competitors.
What do I wear for MMA?
After you have a look at our classes, we can help get you fitted out with any equipment you may need including gloves (boxing & MMA) and guards (shin, head and mouth).
For training, shorts and a rash/sports top are fine.
Is MMA dangerous?
Our classes are conducted in a safe manner and are skill level appropriate. If you choose to compete it is a combat sport, so injuries can happen. But having experienced trainers who focus on technique rather than ego, helps keep it safe.
