FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • No! Charlie's Combat Club is for everyone, not just for fighters.

    Whether your goal is to get in shape, learn self-defense, build confidence, or simply have fun, you’ll fit right in. While we have competitive athletes, over 90% of our members never compete. They train for fitness, personal growth, and to be part of a supportive community.

  • Absolutely! In fact, many of our members started with no previous martial arts experience. Our instructors will guide you step-by-step, helping you build confidence and develop your skills at your pace. Everyone starts somewhere, and we’ll make sure you feel welcome from your very first class.

  • Not at all. You don’t need to be fit before joining Charlie’s Combat Club—that’s what we’re here for! Our members start at all fitness levels, and our experienced coaches will help you improve at a pace that’s right for you. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, or simply become more active, we’ll help you every step of the way.

  • As many as you’d like! All of our memberships include unlimited classes, so you can train as often as your schedule allows. If you’re just getting started, we typically recommend attending 2–3 classes per week to help your body adjust, build good habits, and avoid burnout. As your fitness and confidence grow, you’re welcome to train more often.

  • Wear comfortable workout clothes such as a T-shirt, athletic shorts or leggings, and bring a water bottle. If you’re trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we also recommend trimming your fingernails and toenails before class. We’ll let you know if any specialized equipment or uniforms are needed as you continue your training.

    Don’t worry if you don’t have martial arts gear yet, we’ll help you get started.

  • Absolutely! Charlie’s Combat Club is built around creating a welcoming, respectful, and supportive environment for students of all ages and experience levels. We offer kids’ classes, women’s-only kickboxing classes, beginner-friendly instruction, and a positive community where families can train together. Whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, or competition, you’ll feel right at home.

  • Absolutely. Safety is our highest priority. Our instructors carefully match students by experience and skill level, and all training is closely supervised. Sparring and grappling are always optional and are never required to enjoy our classes. For those who choose to spar, we emphasize controlled, technical training—not trying to “win” in the gym. Full-contact sparring is reserved exclusively for our Fighter’s Training program.

  • **We offer several membership options to fit different goals and budgets, including month-to-month, prepaid memberships, and class punch cards. All memberships include unlimited classes during our regular schedule. Visit our Membership Page for current pricing and details, or contact us if you’d like help choosing the best option.
