Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Martial Arts Programs

Our students – young and old – learn when to use their new self defense skills, and when NOT to use those skills!

This means that you will develop the confidence to deal with bullies, along with the kindness and humility.

We encourage parents to watch their children in their lessons.  We love parents getting involved and so do your kids.  Even better… join into some of our adult classes.  Your kids will love that you have something in common, therefore, it will build a strong family bond!

Alternatively, you could simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee.  They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

No, not at all!  We find that people start at varying fitness levels. You will find that you do get fit by participating in our classes.  Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!
