FAQs
Is there any contact in this class?
There is precision striking on training pads and bags. During the class I wil be showing you how to disengage with your opponent. In order to do so, I will be grabing your wrist and shoulders (with your permission). There will also be light contact if we go through basic knife defence but there is no point in the class that you will be hurt.
I have never had martial arts lessons before, is this right class for me?
Yes. If you have ever wanted to know how to defend yourself in the street or home, this is the class for you. We will customise each private class to your needs. Unlike group classes you will have the teachers full attention and can ask all your questions for different situations.

I enjoyed the experience and now feel much more confident in defending myself... I highly recommend it to beginners.

I can’t tell you how profound that experience was… what Andre did for us was shift a mindset for me just by teaching us basic moves it made me really understand that I’m not a victim, no matter what happens I can actually engage with whatever is happening and I can fight back. She really showed us how. It was amazing! It just changed my mind completely and I’ll never forget that experience.
