Never trained before?
Perfect.

Most of our students walked in having never thrown a punch. Here's exactly what to expect on your first night.

Your first session

What to expect

  • A friendly welcome — Mark will introduce you to the group.
  • A short warm-up and stretch (we go at your pace).
  • Basics: stances, blocks and strikes broken down step by step.
  • Partner work practising a simple self-protection scenario.
  • Time to ask questions — never feel rushed.

Kit

What to bring

  • Loose comfortable clothing — tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt are perfect.
  • Bare feet on the mat (bring flip-flops to wear off it).
  • A water bottle.
  • No need for a gi (karate uniform) until you decide to join.

Cost

First session: free.

Monthly fees after that are kept deliberately low. We teach for love of the art, not profit. Email Mark for current pricing.
