Not at all. Our martial arts classes are designed to build your fitness as you learn. Jiu Jitsu fundamentals classes, for example, focus on technique over athleticism, and you'll develop strength, flexibility, and cardio naturally through training. Many of our most skilled practitioners started with zero fitness background.

For gym workouts, bring comfortable workout clothes and clean indoor shoes.

For general gym access, the minimum age is 16 years old, or 14 if accompanied by a parent or guardian over 18. Our youth martial arts programs cater to children aged 10 and up, depending on the class and maturity of the student.

Youth martial arts classes typically start from age 10, depending on the class type and the individual child's maturity. Our Jiu Jitsu program offers kids classes with age-appropriate instruction. Contact us to discuss your child's specific situation.

Beyond physical fitness and self-defence skills, martial arts teaches children discipline, focus, respect for others, and how to handle challenging situations calmly.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art focused on ground fighting and submissions. It's known as 'the gentle art' because technique and leverage overcome size and strength, making it effective for people of all body types. Beyond self-defence, BJJ builds problem-solving skills, body awareness, and mental resilience. Many people describe it as 'physical chess.

Boxing focuses on punches only—jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts—using your hands. Muay Thai is known as 'the art of eight limbs' because it uses punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. Both are excellent for fitness, self-defence, and discipline. Many of our members train both.

The focus is on personal development, confidence, and long term growth rather than results alone.

Initially, no. For Jiu Jitsu, you can borrow a gi (uniform) while getting started. For boxing and Muay Thai, you'll need hand wraps (available at reception) and eventually your own gloves.

Classes typically begin with a warm-up focused on mobility and BJJ-specific movements. You'll then learn techniques demonstrated by the instructor, drilling them with a partner. Classes often finish with live rolling (sparring) at appropriate intensity for your level. The atmosphere is supportive—you're learning with your teammates, not against them.
