2 /5 Skychi Verse: Pros:
Very good for starting out on martial arts
Friendly, competent staff
Large variety of skills and martial arts
The staff are very nice and skilled. They are confident and knowledgeable on what they’re doing, the place teaches not only kickboxing, but arnis says well as some grappling work! I started out here, and it was an amazing root for my fighting journey.
Cons:
Slightly unhygienic environment
Always passing grading
Building seems out of place
Expensive kit
Only padwork
You might be asking, why is always passing grading bad?
Well, if you have ever trained in martial arts, it takes a while to progress. You pay around £40 for grading, and get the belt about 95% of the time. One thing that is probably the worst is that there is no genuine sparring. Only padwork. Sparring is extremely important in any dojo, since you can test yourself in real time rather than on a drill which may or may not be unrealistic.
