Common questions

Do you still offer free trials?

We no longer run free trials. Instead, you can book a Drop-in Class for £12.50 or a 7-Day Pass for £20 online, at a time that suits you, without waiting for us to arrange it.

Do I need an account before I book?

No. Just choose your class on our Book a Class page. If you are new, you will be asked to set up a free account before you pay.

I am a complete beginner. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Many of our members started with no martial arts background at all. Our coaches break everything down step by step.

Am I tied into a contract?

Not at all. There is no joining fee and no 12-month contract. You can cancel your membership at any time with no penalties.

Can I train at more than one gym?

Yes. One membership gives you access to all three of our gyms, so you can mix and match classes across Torquay, Newton Abbot and Brixham.

Is training safe?

Yes. Classes are structured, controlled and taught by experienced coaches, with a strong emphasis on respect and looking after your training partners.
