Common questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Many Penzance students begin with no martial arts background. Our classes are structured to build your skills safely and steadily.
What do I wear?
Shorts and a T-shirt are ideal. You will train barefoot on the mats, but bringing a pair of slides makes it easier to move around KRH. If you already have gloves or wraps, feel free to bring them — otherwise we can guide you later.
There is also a small shop at the gym with gloves, wraps, shin guards and WAKT kit if you ever need equipment.
Is sparring required?
No. Most people train for fitness, confidence and enjoyment. Sparring is optional and only added once you feel ready.
