All classes are suitable for adults except for the kids & teen’s classes. Beginners are welcome in all the adult classes except the “Graded” classes as these are just for students who have completed the Scholar Grading. All classes are in Preston except for the classes marked Box Hill.

Adults classes are also open to older teenagers, please contact the School to discuss ahead of time.

In addition to adult classes we offer: Kids & Teens classes, a fortnightly open sparring night, and private lessons by arrangement.
