All classes are strictly controlled to minimize the risk of injury. There is no more risk practicing this art than playing many other sports such as football or hockey.

If you are in good health, it should be possible to learn. If you have any disabilities and are unsure, then check with the Instructor and your Doctor. Whether you regard yourself as fit or not, the classes are structured towards enjoyable learning at an easy pace giving progressive fitness development.

However, students that cancel their payments are no longer considered members and a £40 re-joining fee would apply.

Students are free to upgrade/downgrade their monthly lessons at any time. However if you downgrade your training package you cannot benefit from the concessions for 6 months if you wish to upgrade.

Upgrades and downgrades should be done due to changes in circumstances and not private holidays.
