Choosing
a class
Which class should I start with?
Karate if you want a structured system with grading and forms. Boxing if you want striking and conditioning. Boxing fitness if you want a shorter technique-and-conditioning session. MMA if you want everything at once. Ring 0409 858 304 and describe what you are after — that is a two minute conversation.
Can I train in more than one discipline?
Yes. Karate, boxing, boxing fitness, MMA and self-defence all run from the same venue on the same timetable, so a lot of students do two. Call 0409 858 304 to work out what that costs for the combination you want.
What is the difference between boxing and boxing fitness?
Boxing training is the full 90 minute club session — technique, bag and pad work, conditioning, and sparring for those who want it. Boxing fitness is the shorter 45-minute session focused on boxing technique and conditioning.
Can I pay for a single class instead of a month?
No. The published options are $20 for a single class or $100 for the month paid upfront.
Which classes suit complete beginners?
All of them. Every class here takes beginners and most people who walk in have never trained. You learn the basics properly before anything else is asked of you.
Are there classes for children?
Junior karate takes children from age 6, and boxing from age 7. Some conditions apply depending on the child.
Not sure which one?
Tell us the age and what they want out of it and we will point you at the right class. That is a two minute phone call.
