FREE TRIAL CLASS BOOKING FORM
Your first session at Stoa. A free trial class in the beginners programme. Structured, coached, and sparring if you feel ready. You'll be taught effective techniques from this trial session and leave knowing whether this is the club for you.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The session
Every class follows the same shape: warm-up and breakfalls, one standing technique, one groundwork technique, a drill that puts them together.
The People
You'll be paired with a team member who knows what they're doing. The coach will know your name. Nobody rolls with a beginner at full speed.
The Kit
Comfortable shorts and t-shirt to train in if you’re attending a No Gi class. If its a Gi class you’ve booked, then we can provide you with a Gi to borrow here, or feel free to bring your own.
Before you Arrive
You'll need to complete a short waiver before your first session. It's in the confirmation email and only takes a few minutes.
