Your Positive Start Awaits:

For those stepping into the world of martial arts for the first time, our highly recommended Positive Start class provides a perfect introduction. We understand that starting a new endeavour can be daunting, which is why our classes are conducted in a friendly, safe, and non-intimidating environment. You won’t be thrown in at the deep end; instead, you’ll progress at your own pace. Each class will consist of:

1. A warm up including a variety of exercises and stretches to improve your fitness, flexibility, balance and coordination.
2. This will be followed by practicing some very basic stances, leg raises and punching techniques.
3. You will then be taught a specific technique in detail. This could be a kick, a block, a hand combination technique or a self-defence technique.
4. You will then have the opportunity to practice this technique using a variety of training aids including strike shields, paddles and floor standing punch bags.
5. The class will also include a group chat around the life skill of the week as well as some basic terminology.
6. Finally the class will end with a warm down exercise.

The Positive Start programme offers a choice of 5 classes per week giving you the flexibility to train as often as you wish or change from week to week which class you attend. A bit like a gym, you don’t need to book in but just turn up as a when it suits you. However, we do recommend regular attendance of a least one lesson per week to really benefit from the programme.
