emptycup Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello, I know some of you guys on here go to this place, and is it Jay KD whoruns it? Anyways, i was just wondering what a typical class would entail? In particular the CFA classes, how intensive are they and what method of self-defense it employs. Is it more of a boxing/grappling hybrid or does it incorporate counters, blocks etc. I have become very unfit overthe last year orso and am looking for something to help me keep fit also. Thought CFAmight ticklemy fancy although groundwork is quite new to me:) Anyways, any info would be grand. Plus, are the people who go massive UFC type blokes? I am only a shortarse Cheers Emptycup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade65 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hi, It sounds an interesting place, but their website says you have to take out insurance through them to join the classes...is that normal? Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emptycup Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 I can't speak for this place, however every martial arts class I have ever been to requires insurance to be paid. However, this is usually only applicable after a provisional period. So, if this place is the same (which I suspect is the case), you would pay insurance if you want to become a member and train regularily. It is similar if you were a member of a health gym, you would be able to go to the free taster days, but would have to have insurance/membership if you became a regular. However, I can't speak on behalf of this martial arts centre as I am not a member/organiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatoichi Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Although I do not train with Mark due to having commitments that clash with his classses. I have spoken to Mark at length and watched several of his classes. He is an excellent instructor and runs a very profesional centre. ( I have over 20 years experience in the martial arts so know what to look for !) Insurance is the absolute norm and I wouldn`t train at a club where it was not mandatory.

emptycup Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thread hijacked... Anyways, what is the typical class regime. Just wondering what kind of training atmosphere there is. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatoichi Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 From what I saw, warm up, pad work, some grappling and escrima type stick work. Pop down and have a look i am sure mark will show you the sylabus. There was a variety of all shaped sized people there with varying fitness levels.
