​

What age can my child start martial arts?

We offer programs for children as young as 3 years old through our Little Dragons classes. Our programs are tailored by age group to ensure developmentally appropriate training.

 

Do I need to book in advance or can I just show up?

We ask that you book your free trial class in advance so we can ensure there’s space and your child is placed in the correct age group. Booking is quick and easy — just head to our contact page or give us a call.

How much do classes cost?

Our pricing varies depending on the program and membership type. The best way to get accurate information is to book a free trial and speak with our team after class — we’ll walk you through all available options, with no pressure to sign up.

 

What should we wear to our first class?

No uniform is needed for your trial. Just wear comfortable activewear (like a T-shirt and shorts or leggings) and bare feet. If your child joins, we’ll provide info on how to order a uniform.

 

Is martial arts safe for kids?

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. All classes are led by qualified instructors who are experienced in working with children. We teach in a structured, supportive environment and focus on proper technique, respect, and self-control.

 

Do you cater to children with special needs?

Yes. Many children with ADHD, anxiety, autism, or other learning differences thrive in our classes. Let us know in advance so we can ensure your child gets the right support and has a positive experience.

 

Are classes co-ed? 

Yes — all our classes are co-educational, and we welcome both boys and girls. From day one, we teach students to respect each other regardless of gender, and we’re proud to have a strong mix in every program.

 

Can my teenager join the adult classes?

In some cases, yes. We assess based on maturity and suitability, not just age. If your teen is ready for the adult program, we’ll recommend the best fit after a trial class.

 

Am I too old to start martial arts?

Not at all. Martial arts is for all ages, and it's never too late to start. Because it's an individual journey, you can train at your own pace and focus on personal improvement. In fact, many of our best students are in their 30s, 40s, and 50s — with the focus, discipline, and mindset to set and achieve their goals.

 

How many times a week should I train?

We recommend training at least two times per week to see steady progress and build confidence. Like any sport, the more consistently you train, the faster you'll improve. Many adults choose to attend three or more sessions to accelerate results and stay on track with their goals.

 

How long are the classes?

Kids classes run for 60 minutes, while adult classes range from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the session.

 

How do gradings and belt levels work?

We follow a structured belt progression system based on attendance, skill development, and attitude. Gradings are held regularly and are an exciting milestone for students to track their progress and celebrate their hard work.

 

What happens if we miss a class?

No problem. We offer make-up classes and flexible scheduling — just chat to the team at the front desk and we’ll help you reschedule.
