All sessions will be taking place in the STV dojo at the times given above.
To find the dojo walk through the main training facility where the student gym is located, continuing until you reach a flight of stairs.
After heading down the stairs, pass the reception and walk through the barriers before taking a sharp left where you will be in a long corridor that has changing rooms and lockers in.
Head all the way to the door down the bottom and you will find the dojo.
Some notes
Typical training sessions include learning technique through a mixture of drills and constrained games. Before testing your newfound skills through sparring in a number of scenarios.
Gi sessions are undertaken in the Gi (Kimono) and NoGi sessions in a rashguard and shorts. If it is your first session then a T-shirt and shorts or joggers is fine.
For all sessions make sure you bring plenty of water and perhaps a small towel.
