If you require sparring with minimal or no contact, special arrangements can be made, however zero / no contact can not be guaranteed due to the nature of Martial Arts.

If the club has to relocate to another venue and you can not get there, you can cancel your monthly membership fee’s. Moving venues is not undertaklen lightly and will be a last resort in most cases.

If a class has to stop being offered, this will be because the class is no longer financially viable. The club can not afford to run at a loss at any class.
