The best way to start is to enrol on a basic course. If the basic course is already done, you can join the training sessions on the advanced level.

BASIC COURSE

In case you start a new combat sport, you must participate in the basic course first, which lasts for about 6 weeks; training is twice per week; one training lasts for about 60-80 minutes.

You can enrol on the course by email or by visiting our office. You can get more information by phone during our working hours. It is also possible to enrol on the course during the first two weeks from the start of the course as long as there are places available.
