Reflect Martial Arts Membership and Training FAQs

Find clear answers about starting classes, memberships, payments, equipment and student progression at Reflect Martial Arts in Wandsworth. Questions about a particular programme are answered on our Kids, Teens, Adults and Family Martial Arts pages.

Starting and Attending Classes

All regular classes take place at our dedicated Wandsworth studio: Unit 9b, Compass House, Smugglers Way, Wandsworth, London, SW18 1DB. The dojang has a wooden sprung floor and is used specifically for martial arts training.

For a trial class, wear comfortable sports clothing that allows you to move freely, such as a T-shirt with jogging bottoms or leggings. Students normally train barefoot in the dojang, so you will not need trainers or specialist equipment. If you enrol, the team will explain the official Choi Kwang Do uniform and belt requirements.

No. Choi Kwang Do training is progressive and non-competitive, so beginners work at a level appropriate to their current ability. Fitness, mobility and technique develop over time through regular training.

Tell your instructor about any injury, medical condition or relevant allergy before taking part. Where appropriate, an instructor may be able to adjust a particular exercise. Instructors cannot diagnose a condition or confirm whether you are medically fit to train, so seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional if you have concerns.

We normally recommend training twice each week. Regular attendance helps students remember what they have learned and make steady progress. The team will help you choose suitable classes from the available timetable.

Membership and Payments

Memberships run monthly and fees are normally paid by Direct Debit. There is no long-term contract. Your membership option, payment amount and payment date will be confirmed before you enrol

Contact the team in writing if you need to change your membership. The conditions for changing or pausing training depend on your membership type. Cancelling requires at least one calendar month's written notice. Read the Terms and Conditions or contact the team if you are unsure which rules apply.

Some optional courses, events or activities may have a separate charge. Any additional cost will be explained before you decide whether to take part.

Equipment, Progression and Member Support

You will not need specialist equipment for your trial class. As your training progresses, your instructor will explain when protective equipment for the hands and feet is required. Please speak to an instructor before buying equipment so that it is suitable for your programme and level.

Instructors assess students continuously during normal classes. They consider understanding of the curriculum, safe technical ability, attendance and attitude. When a student is ready, the instructor team will invite them to grade. Attendance alone does not automatically guarantee progression.

Enrolled students receive access to the school's app, which includes training and curriculum videos and supporting information. The team will explain how to access it when you enrol and can help with questions about training inside or outside the dojang.
