Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at teamnortonsaxon@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I need any experience to join?

Not at all! Most of our students start with zero martial arts experience, and we also welcome those returning after time off or looking to get back into training. Our programs are structured to support all experience levels — from complete beginners to advanced practitioners — in a welcoming, safe, and encouraging environment suited to every fitness level.

What should I wear for my first class?

For your first class, wear comfortable workout clothes like a T-shirt and shorts or leggings. We’ll guide you on gear options (like gis or gloves) once you decide to continue training. Trial gear may be available depending on the program.

What if I have an injury or physical limitation?

We understand that everyone’s body is different. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or have a physical disability, our instructors will work with you to modify techniques and adapt training to suit your needs. Safety and inclusion are core to how we run classes — you're always welcome on the mats, and we’ll support your progress at your own pace.

How often should I train each week?

For beginners, 2–3 sessions per week is a great start. You’ll build muscle memory, stay consistent, and allow time to recover. As you gain experience and fitness, you can increase your training to match your goals — whether that’s self-defense, competition, or just stress relief.

Can I train in both BJJ and Kickboxing?

Absolutely! Many of our members cross-train in both. The styles complement each other well — BJJ for control and ground defense, Kickboxing for striking and movement.

Do you offer private lessons at Saxon Combat Academy?

Yes, we offer private lessons for individuals or small groups. Private lessons can be arranged with one of our instructors and are a great way to receive personalized attention and accelerate your progress.
