FAQ

• I am a beginner; do I need to be fit to start?
  You can start your training at the Academy in a beginner/intermediate class as soon as you wish. We offer various classes all specifically geared towards self-protection.  All classes complement each other.  All classes count towards your eligibility to grade. You DO NOT need to be fit to start.  This will come as you put more time into your training.
• What do I wear and do I need to bring anything?
  Tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt, trainers (these are a must as under no cirumstances will you be allowed to train in bare feet) and a towel.  Please also enquire about our uniform.
• How soon can I take gradings and can I train up to Black Belt level?
  At Hybrid Academy everyone must start from the beginning regardless of a previous grade or belt.  You will be able to grade for your white belt after about 2 months of training but again this depends on the time you put into it.   You can grade from White to Black Belt at the Hybrid Academy of Martial Arts. 
• Is what I am going to learn effective as Self Defence?
  The effectiveness of what you are taught at the Academy is down to the individual. All of the classes have a large emphasis on self defence for the street.
• Are Martial Arts suitable for women?
  Absolutely! Total Combat Fight System is learnt and absorbed to suit the needs of the individual, being powerful and big is not a sole requirement for defending oneself on the street, using speed and striking to vital areas can be extremely effective as a means of self defence. We positively encourage women to take part.  Martial arts is one of the most effective ways to lose weight as well!!
• Can I use what I learn in Martial Arts on the street?
  ONLY in a self defence scenario or to defend your loved ones. NEVER to bully, to show off or use for any wrong purpose. Remember, in most instances you have an option to walk away.
• How often do I need to train?
  Twice a week is recommended, anything extra will only accelerate your learning process. Your standard will obviously be related to the time you invest, in effect, you are in control of your future in the Martial Arts at the Academy.
• I have some previous training in Martial Arts, which class should I attend?
  At Hybrid Academy everyone starts at the beginning.  How quickly you progress depends on you!!  Complete beginners in martial arts should try basic classes and when confidence grows you can attend the other classes we have to offer. 
• Are private lessons available?
  Yes, Private lessons are available on request. 
• How does the payment scheme work?
  Your first lesson is FREE. After that, your lesson fees are paid by a monthly standing order. More details on timetable & prices page.  Or try out a special offer.
