18. This is an adults only class.

All you need to bring to class is loose, comfortable clothing such as training/jogging bottoms, t-shirt and trainers. It will also be a good idea to bring a bottle of water too. Any equipment needed will be provided.

Every class will be different but built upon lessons previous. The class usually consists of a warm up, then technique/form work. Most classes will then have partner work including drills, combination work or hitting the pads. Occasionally we will have sparring sessions, and these will be done near the end of class.

We are a club that focusses on a mixture of self defence, and the building of an individual through their martial art journey. If a person wants to follow this route, I would encourage it, but its not something we train for.

I have trained and been certified by a handful of teachers. I have Instructor certification in the Rapid Assault Tactics program from Paul Starkey.

We do have a grading syllabus. There is no set time limit when you can take these, and they are offered when the Instructor thinks you are ready. There will be no extra fees for gradings, and will be done at an agreed time.

The old phrase 'How long is a piece of string?' comes to mind. There is no part of martial art that you will learn completely or become perfect at. It really is a lifelong process of improvement and you will improve at your own pace as everyone is different.

Yes. If you would like to learn the R.A.T system separately, or would like training in a specific system I have trained in you can contact me for private training. In class it will be the program for my system incorporating all these arts.
