You will receive a booking confirmation by email to the email address provided when making your booking.
This email confirms details of the lesson you have booked, the school’s location, the day and time of your class and other useful information you may need to know before attending your class.
You can either print the email confirmation and bring it with you to your lesson, or you can show the instructor the email on your phone.
Trial lessons vary in length from school to school but details relating to the class you have booked will be outlined in your booking confirmation email, along with the school’s contact details if you’d like to speak to them direct. Details of lessons can also be found on the booking page for each club.
No. The trial lesson is obligation-free and there are no extra charges for this introductory session beyond the trial fee if there is one.
We generally recommend that you wear loose comfortable sports clothing, such as a tracksuit for your taster session. There is no need for specialist martial arts clothing.
The special suits are only generally required if you choose to join a school. Schools often provide free suits when you join. Check with your school first if you have any queries.
Apart from wearing the right clothes, there is nothing else which you have to bring with you on the day. Changing and refreshment facilities vary so we advise that you come prepared in case there are limited facilities available. For example: You may wish to bring a bottle of water.
No. There should be no extra charges for the introductory lesson and there will be no hidden charges.
If you choose to join a school after your trial, there may be a joining fee. Joining and tuition fees vary from school to school. Speak to the instructor if you would like to find out more about their class pricing or membership fees.
You are welcome to bring a friend with you for a trial lesson but your friend will need to have first booked a trial lesson with the school through this website, in order to check there are sufficient spaces available. Your friend may need to pay a trial lesson fee if the lesson has a fee.
If you would like to attend the same class with a friend, we recommend that you make both of your class bookings at the same time.
If you need to cancel your booking, please contact the Instructor, either by telephone or email no less than 24 hours before your scheduled lesson time.
After booking your session through this website, you will receive a confirmation email containing the contact details for your school.

Yes. The purpose of the trial lesson is for you to find a martial art style and a school that you’ll love.
In almost all cases, people choose the school they try first but if for whatever reason you would like to try another school, simply book another lesson through this website in the same way as you did with the first school.
It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that anyone attending a class is adequately insured. If you would like to see evidence of a school’s insurance, ask to speak to the Chief Instructor who will happily make this available for you to see.
Almost all schools require students to become members if they wish to continue lessons after the trial lesson. However, all schools differ and your chosen school may choose to offer an extended introductory period.
When you attend your lesson, ask the instructor what the school’s membership policy is. They will be able to tell you about the different schemes they run, for both adults and children.
