or just turn up and train! If you'd like to watch a session then that will pose no problems at all; but if you're there anyway then
you may as well join in and give it a try!
There are no restrictions on who can train at Archway Jiu-Jitsu club, men and women of all ages are welcome, however it is
important to note the club is primarily an adults club and while older
teenagers (15+) are welcome (with parental consent), parents of
younger children should discuss this with us before bringing their child to a session.
The only other requirement is that you are
in good general health. (lack of fitness is not an issue, however!)
There are no particular sessions which beginners must attend - You can begin at any of the regular Wednesday or Sunday evening sessions
- Whenever is convenient for you.
Beginners are starting all the time, and there is sure to be a group of novices at almost every session.
You do not need to book in advance, you can just turn up.
If you wish to take part, you will need to wear loose clothing and have bare feet. You should empty your pockets and remove
any jewellery/watches etc. Long hair should be tied back. It is advisable that you arrive in plenty of time for the session and ensure
that the instructor is aware that it is your first session.
Your first session is Free and there are no membership fees. After the first session, Sessions cost a very reasonable £4* for two hours
and you only pay for the sessions you attend. If, after two weeks, you decide you wish to continue training,
you will need to get annual insurance at the cost of £20†. Once you have been training for a month or so you may wish to
purchase a gi (white training suit). These can be bought through the club or from any martial arts shop for approximately
£25-£35, however this is not a requirement until you are ready to grade for yellow belt.
