FAQs
I'm not sure if I want to buy a membership without trying it out. What can I do?
You can attend one of our classes as a trial session for just £5 to see if it’s for you. If you’d like to continue, we offer various options, including monthly memberships (unlimited classes or 2x per week) as well as class packs.
I've never done any form of martial arts before. Can I join?
Absolutely! We welcome all levels, from complete beginners to experienced fighters. If you’re new to martial arts, we recommend starting with our Fundamental classes to master the basics.
How do I pay for and book sessions?
You can sign up on our website by selecting the membership or class pack that suits you. Once registered, you can book your chosen classes using our app (Amin Martial Arts – available on the App Store and Google Play). Please ensure you pre-book classes to guarantee your spot. We also accept cash, please contact us.
It looks painful! Will I get hurt?
Our members are disciplined, and our coach ensures all training and sparring is carried out safely. While you might get the occasional bump or bruise, it’s no different to any other combat sport.
Do I need special equipment?
For your trial session, we provide everything you need: gloves, shin guards, pads, skipping ropes, and other equipment. If you become a member, we recommend purchasing your own gloves, shin guards, and hand wraps for training. These are available at the gym. For sparring sessions, please bring your own mouthguard, groin guard (for males), and 14/16oz gloves.
