GENERAL ENQUIRIES

I am a complete beginner with no prior experience. Am I suitable to start training?

Most definitely! Our program is catered to people of all interest levels. Beginners are more than welcome!

I haven't been exercising for a long time and I am afraid I can't keep up with the intensity. Will this be a problem?

Not at all! Our classes are suited for everyone of varying fitness and interest levels. Although there may be some challenging movements from time to time, scaled down options of the same exercises are available so that your body can progressively get used to the movements and intensity.

I have an old injury/a pre-existing health condition. Is it still okay for me to train?

Of course! Scaled down options of some movements will be available in order for your body to strengthen up progressively without over-exerting your condition. However, do inform the coaches beforehand of your condition so that we can monitor your situation during class better. A doctor's memo will also be beneficial as proof of clearance for strenuous activities.

I am over the age of 40. Am I still suitable for the program?

Yes, of course! In fact, here at Cubs Combat School, other than youths, we also highly encourage the middle aged, retirees, and seniors (above 55 years old) to participate in our combat sports program to keep an active lifestyle while learning a new skill that keeps the mind and body alert and healthy!

My child has some developmental issues (e.g. ADHD, ADD, Autism etc), can my child still participate in the activities?

Most definitely! Combat sports has been researched to be beneficial for youths with developmental issues as it provides the right amount of stimuli for them to stay focused on a task. For special cases, we will also permit a caregiver to accompany them for the entire duration of the class to ease them into the session.
