How do we achieve it?
With regular, structured training. As a newcomer, you'll start off with learning some basic tecniques and drills, then step up to soft kit duels and group fights designed to refine your skills before getting the first taste of steel. Sounds exciting? We know!
But ultimately it's all about fun and camaraderie
At the end of the day, it's not just about the wins and medals. Our main strength lies in our community – the club acts as a social hub where you can meet like-minded people and build a strong bond of friendships forged through combat.
Ever since I started, I always felt welcomed and comfortable with my ACG family. Amazingly supportive and empowering, they know how to push you forward whilst keeping you standing. There is always someone around to ask for help, regardless of the task. You will get into the best shape in your life and learn a lot – all whilst having a good laugh with great people.

I've never done anything like this before and I was hooked from the very beginning. Not just with the sport itself, but with how welcoming and helpful the other members were, with friendships forged as we trained. As time has gone on, I've seen improvements in not only my fitness (which is a hard job for someone with asthma) but also in my general confidence.
