Q: How do I get started?

A: The best way to establish if Hybrid is for you is to attend a session and join in! You will receive a weeks free training, this will provide you with the opportunity to trial different venues, classes and get a good insight into the varied training we have to offer. It’s a good idea to give us a call and have a chat with us prior to attending, however you can just simply turn up. There is no requirement to pre-book and you do not have to be a member of any of the venues we train at (such as the Devonshire Health & Racquets Club). See timetable for classes & venues

Q: Do I need to bring anything with me?

A: It’s a good idea to bring a drink and a sweat towel. Normal training attire is fine. We train in our trainers for the majority of the session so ensure you have suitable footwear . In addition if you already have items such as gloves etc please feel free to bring them along.

Q: I really enjoyed the sessions and have had my free trial. I would like to join so what next?

A: Hybrid have created a really simple payment procedure so you don’t have to worry about having cash on you for each session. All fee payments are collected by standing order, there are no contracts and this can be cancelled at any time. Simply fill in a Hybrid Standing Order Form (you can obtain one from your instructor), fill in your details and hand it back into us and we will personally hand it into your bank for you to save you from any hassle (please note we do not keep copies of any bank details).

Q: Are there any additional costs?

A: As with any good martial arts club you will need to have a licence. This is your insurance. You are partaking in a contact sport therefore each individual adult or junior who trains will require one. The British Combat Association provide this cover for our club. The Licences cost £20 per annum (2x passport sized photo's required) . Your instructor will have a licence application form to give you, please fill it in and hand it back to your instructor within 2 weeks of joining.

We have a club uniform, you will be required to wear one if you choose to participate in the grading system. A full basic uniform costs £24. This includes a Hybrid T Shirt and semi-contact trousers. However, we are constantly improving and adding to the Hybrid clothing range.  Items such as performance tops, vests, women’s lycra trousers and hoodies etc. are also available.

 As students progress through the grading system there are a number of pieces of equipment that they will require. These items can be purchased individually or alternatively we have created Special Belt Specific Packages to make this easier and cheaper.

We hope this is helpful if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Darren or Carly
