For steady progress, aim to attend at least two classes per week. However, I understand that life can get busy. The key is to do your best and give your all whenever you can make it to training.

It's up to you! For practical self-defence, wearing runners can add to the realism, but you can also train barefoot or in martial arts shoes. Choose what feels most comfortable for you. Personally, I switch between martial arts shoes and barefoot depending on how I feel.

As the saying goes, “How long is a piece of string?” The answer really depends on you! On average, if you train twice a week consistently, it may take around 6 years to achieve your black belt. But what truly matters is the journey. Whether it takes you 5 years or 10, you’ll gain valuable skills, grow in confidence, and hopefully create lasting friendships and memories along the way. I know I certainly did.

We have two locations: Figtree at 25 O'Briens Rd, and Woonona at 479 Princes Hwy. Join us at the location that suits you best!

4 years old is the minimum age one can start, and join our 'Kids Strikers' program.

How much will it cost? We offer three flexible membership options to suit your needs:

• Bronze: $19.95 per week

• Silver: $27.50 per week

• Gold: $33.00 per week

There are no lock-in contracts, and you can cancel at any time.

As training is part of your membership, payments still apply even if you miss a class. However, you’re welcome to make up the session at a time that suits you, so you never miss out on your training.

First 2 Strike Freestyle Martial Arts is a mixed martial arts system that incorporates striking, grappling, and ground fighting, all with a strong focus on practical self-defence. It’s a free-flowing and dynamic style, with a little tradition thrown in, designed to help students develop real-world skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Absolutely! Most of our students start with no prior martial arts experience. Our beginner-friendly classes and supportive instructors will guide you step by step at a pace that suits you. You'll build confidence, fitness, and skills in a safe and welcoming environment. Everyone is welcome to start their martial arts journey with us.

Yes, you can! Many people start martial arts to improve their fitness, and our classes are designed to help you build strength, stamina, and confidence at your own pace. You don’t need to be fit to begin — all you need is a willingness to give it a go. Our supportive instructors and family-friendly community will encourage you every step of the way.

Yes, you'll need a uniform once you decide to continue training after your trial. Don't worry about finding one yourself — we provide uniforms directly through the club. We'll help you get the right size and ensure you're comfortable so you can focus on your training.
