Frequently asked questions

What classes should I start with as a beginner?

Anything listed as ‘Fundamental’ on the timetable is a great place to start. You can also attend the ‘All Levels’ classes but they may be a little more advanced.

Do you offer a free trial class?

Yes absolutley! Please get in touch via the contact page to book one.

If I join do I get access to the gym facilities too?

Yes- monthly membership includes 24/7 access to NRG gym – even if you just opt for the 3 classes a week package!

Do you have kids classes?

Unfortunately no – the Academy is adults only. That means you must be 18+ to attend classes. For those interested in kids classes, look up ‘ninja school’ in Kidbrooke.

What do I need to bring with me to my first class?

To start just T-shirt and shorts or other appropriate clothing. Also Flip flops or shoes that can be taken on and off easily. A towel and water bottle are advised too. All other equipment will be provided by the Gym.

Will I get hurt or injured?

Every reasonable precaution is taken to make sure classes are safe and enjoyable. However martial arts are a physical, contact based activity. As such there is always some unavoidable risk of being hurt no matter how small. You should be aware of this before deciding to take part.

Will I be allowed to spar?

Beginners are allowed to spar in grappling classes but not in striking classes. The Muay Thai sparring classes are for experienced practitioners only. All sparring is carefully supervised to ensure the safety of the participants.

Are there any rules about clothing and hygiene?

Flip flops or shoes MUST be worn whilst off the mats. NO shoes are allowed whilst on the mats. No jewellery, hair pins, clothes with zips, vests or baggy clothing may be worn whilst training. Nails must be kept short. Long hair must be tied back.
