Frequently asked questions

Sports clothes with no zips or pockets — shorts and a t-shirt are enough. For gi Jiu-Jitsu and Judo we lend a gi for the first few weeks; for Kickboxing and Muay Thai we lend gloves and shin guards. Flip-flops for walking off the mat.

In adult Jiu-Jitsu: white, blue, purple, brown and black. For the kids: grey, yellow, orange and green. There is an exam twice a year, by the coaches' invitation — what counts is time on the mat and technique, not the date. The fundamentals classes are for white belts; the advanced one asks for blue.

From 6 to 13: Judo Kids in two classes by age (6–9 and 10–13) and Karate Kids in one class. From 14, kids join the adult classes with the coaches' permission; from 16, without restrictions.

A short document you sign before your first session, in your account or at the reception: you say you are fit to train, that you know it is a contact sport and that you follow the rules. For minors the guardian signs. Without it you do not step onto the mat — not even for the free session.

A clean gi or rash guard for every session, short nails, long hair tied up, no shoes on the mat. The mat is cleaned every day between the last kids' class and the first adult one. An open wound is covered or you sit that day out — that is how nobody catches anything.

The annual registration includes sports insurance, which covers what happens on the mat and at competitions. Tell the coach straight away, even if it seems minor. While you recover, freeze your membership — up to 30 days a year, no reason needed — and come back when the doctor says so.
