Here’s what you can expect on your first session…

A warm welcome

From the moment you walk through the door, we want you to feel right at home. Head Coach Norm Willis and our friendly team will greet you and answer any questions you may have before the session begins.

An introduction

We know you’re here to learn, so we’ll start with the basics. Whether you’re learning JKD, BJJ, Judo or Krav Maga, your first session will be tailored to your pace. Norm is here to guide you step by step, making sure you feel confident as you begin.

A beginner friendly atmosphere

Here we have an environment of mutual respect and encouragement. You’ll find and meet students from all walks of life, some beginners, some more experienced and seasoned practitioners ready to share their knowledge with you.

A group or private sessions available

In group sessions: You’ll join a class of like-minded people, learning alongside others. Norm will walk you through techniques, drills and partner exercises that are designed to build your skills step by step.

In private sessions: You’ll receive guidance and training directly from Norm, whether you want to build confidence, focus on fitness or learn something new. You can also bring a friend to your Private Session, free of charge!

What to bring / wear

There’s no need for fancy gear to start off with! Just come in comfortable workout clothes and a bottle of water.

No pressure, no judgement

We know the idea of starting martial arts can be a little nerve-wrecking, but rest assured there’s nothing to worry about. You don’t need to be in peak shape, know the moves or prove yourself. This is your journey and Norm is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
