And we are back once more, hopefully with no more lockdowns. Current restrictions mean no one over the age of 18 can train in a main class, but can work with a partner or one to one with an instructor. PP should be worn for pad work for adults and, as of yet there can be no sparring. These restrictions do not apply to those under 18 however bubbles should be built and maintained. This means classes must be kept to a maximum of 15 students and booking your space is essential. If you wish to come along for a trial please call or send a message to 07962 168215.
Current Covid restrictions mean we are operating with a reduced and limited timetable - please see the 'locations and times' tab for more detail.
