Getting started
Do I need any experience?
No. Every program is open to beginners, and most of our students had no martial arts background when they started.
Is the first class really free?
Yes. Book online or call and your first class costs nothing.
How do I book?
Fill in the free-class form with who's training and your mobile number, and we'll text you within one business day to set a time. You can also call 978-502-5682.
What happens in my first class?
A coach walks you through the warm-up and the basics. There is no sparring on day one.
Kids
What age can my child start?
Our kids program is for ages 4 to 13. Teens 14 and up join the adult BJJ and No-Gi classes.
Will martial arts make my child aggressive?
No. We teach kids that violence is not the answer, how to stay calm and walk away, and how to protect themselves only when there is no other way.
Is it safe for kids?
Our coaches work with kids of all abilities, and physical safety comes first in every class. Kids learn at a pace that is comfortable for them.
Gear & classes
What should I wear to my first class?
Athletic shorts or pants and a t-shirt or rash guard, with no zippers or pockets. Bring water.
Do I need a gi?
Not for your first class. BJJ is trained in a gi and we can lend you one. No-Gi, MMA and kickboxing don't use one.
Which program should I start with?
New to everything? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (14+) is the usual start. Want to strike too? MMA (16+). Want a workout with self-defense and no sparring? Women's kickboxing (16+).
When are classes?
Classes run inside our open hours, and we confirm the exact time for your program when you book.
Membership
How much does a membership cost?
Membership options are explained in person after your free class, so you can see the gym and pick what fits before we talk about cost.
Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is there for students who want it. You can train for fitness and self-defense without ever stepping into a tournament.
Your first class is on us.
No experience, fitness level or gear needed.
