WHEREVER YOU'RE STARTING FROM,
WE'LL MEET YOU THERE
We hear the same thing from almost every new starter: “I'm not fit enough yet”, or “I'll wait until I've got a bit fitter”, or “I've never done anything like this before.” We understand — and we want to be completely straight with you: none of that matters here.
The Beginners Course exists precisely for people who have never trained before. You do not need a background in sport. You do not need to be a certain size, age, or fitness level. You just need to show up. Our coaches have seen every starting point imaginable, and their job is to make sure you leave every session feeling like you've achieved something real.
The atmosphere at FBA is one of the things our members talk about most. This is not an intimidating environment. It is a community of people who were all beginners once — many of them not long ago — and who genuinely want to see you succeed. From your very first session, you will be welcomed, coached properly, and never made to feel out of place.
The two courses — Grappling and Striking — run consecutively, so you can commit to both in one go and complete your full introduction to MMA without any gaps. By the end, you will have the skills and the confidence to step into our regular classes and keep going.
The course is built from the ground up for complete beginners. You will never be thrown in at the deep end.
You will get fitter by training. The course is structured to ease you in — your fitness will improve week by week.
FBA is known for its atmosphere. Respectful, encouraging, and supportive — from coaches and members alike.
Grappling and Striking run back-to-back. Sign up for the bundle and complete your full MMA foundation in one continuous journey.
On completion, you will have a natural route into our regular classes and a coaching team who knows exactly where you are and where you're headed.
