First Aid
No-one wants to train in an environment where they don’t feel safe and supported, or are at risk of injury. That’s why we do everything we can to create an environment where people feel safe to train. To minimise the risk of injury, instructors will break down exercises and tailor training to suit individual needs. Where students make physical contact with each other (e.g. practicing joint locking techniques), we make sure everyone understands and respects each other so that our students are never placed in a position of harm or feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately sometimes accidents do sometimes happen, and as such our instructors are first aid trained and first aid kits are available.
Safeguarding
All of our instructors are DBS checked, and the club is certified under the Safeguarding in Martial Arts code. This helps to give parents and carers peace of mind when finding a martial arts school for children or adults in their care.
Information about the Safeguarding in Martial Arts code can be found here. If you wish to independently verify our certification you can do so on the Safeguarding code website.
