Unlikely. Adults of all ages train with us. Martial arts can be adapted to suit different fitness levels, backgrounds, and goals, whether you are in your 20s, 40s, or beyond.

Yes. We offer trial sessions so you can experience the training, meet the instructor, and see if the classes are right for you before signing up.

No, for the trial sessions, everything is provided. All you need to bring is water. Once signed up, the required kit is: bag gloves, focus pads and Kali sticks. Everything can be purchased through us, or you're welcome to source your own.
