FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find answers to some of the most common questions about training, membership, and classes at Chi Combat System.

What style of martial arts do you teach at the Croydon branch?

Chi Combat System is a modern, hybrid martial art. Rather than forcing you to cross-train across different gyms, our curriculum blends the most effective components of multiple disciplines—including Kickboxing for dynamic striking, Karate & Taekwondo for powerful blocking and traditional form structures, and Judo for close-quarter throws and joint locks.

Do I need to be physically fit or have prior experience to join?

Not at all. Our South Croydon classes welcome complete beginners of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels. Our instructors tailor and adjust every technical drill to match your current baseline mobility, helping you naturally build up your stamina, core strength, and flexibility over time.

What should my family and I wear to our first free trial class?

For your initial free session, you do not need a traditional uniform. Simply wear casual, comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely such as a basic t-shirt, jogging bottoms or tracksuits, and standard trainers. If you choose to enroll permanently, your instructor will guide you through ordering the official academy training uniform.

Is booking a slot required, or can we just show up at the Propeller Crescent venue?

Booking is completely essential before stepping onto the training mats. Because we maintain strict student-to-instructor ratios to ensure proper safety and personalized coaching, we cannot accept walk-ins. You can easily secure your family's space online via our booking form or through the official Chi Combat System mobile app.

What is your policy on sparring and contact safety?

We practice a strict, non-contact safety policy during regular class tuition. Controlled sparring is an optional development track reserved purely for advanced students who explicitly want to test their skills. Our primary day-to-day focus remains on non-contact pad work, technical movement paths, and reality-based self-defence application.

What is the minimum age requirement for children's classes?

Our junior development programs start for children aged 5 and up. At this foundational stage, classes focus heavily on teaching basic listening skills, hand-eye coordination, anti-bullying awareness, and building the physical confidence needed to excel in school environments.
