Frequently Asked Questions
- How long before I join up?
After completing your 5-session trial, you’ll have a good feel for whether training at Wickham’s is right for you. We find five sessions is plenty of time to experience the classes, the coaches, and the community.
If you decide to continue, we’ll ask you to complete the required membership forms. These can be filled out after your trial or completed beforehand if you prefer.
No pressure. Just the space to try it properly and decide what works for you.
- How do we pay?
basic details such as name and address, along with your bank or credit card information.
Once your payment is set up, there’s nothing else to worry about. Just turn up, train, and enjoy the journey.
- How do I cancel?
If you decide to cancel your membership, simply complete a cancellation form at the centre.
Please note that a two-week notice period applies. The earlier you let us know, the smoother the process will be.
We aim to keep things straightforward and respectful for everyone.
- I just want to try for a month?
We offer a 10-session option, which usually works out to around a month of training.
If you’ve trained with us before, the 5-session trial doesn’t apply. In this case, you can purchase a 10-session card at the standard casual class rate.
If you’re new and choose to continue training after the 10 sessions, you’ll be asked to complete a membership form. You can also complete a cancellation form at the same time if you prefer, so everything is clear and upfront from the start.
If you’re unsure which option suits you best, our team is happy to help you decide.
- Do I need a uniform to start?
You don’t need to purchase it straight away. It’s completely up to you when you decide to get it.
However, before attending any grading, students must have the required uniform and the correct patches on their uniform or training kit.
If you’re unsure what you need or when to get it, our team is happy to help.
- What happens when there is two of us in the same family?
No problem at all. We’ll simply add them to your existing membership, so there’s no need to fill out another form.
- What happens if I get injured?
If you know you’ll be out of training for more than two weeks, you can suspend your membership while you recover.
Once you’re ready to return, we’ll simply reactivate your membership so you can get back to training.
- Do you run through school holidays?
Yes, we run classes all year.
The centre is only closed on public holidays and over the Christmas break, usually from 20 December to 20 January. During longer breaks, we also run selected open days, including free training sessions.
We’ll always let members know in advance about any changes to the schedule.
- Can I do another style of Martial arts?
Yes, absolutely! You’re welcome to train in other styles at the club, and we’re happy to have students from other clubs join us too.
We often have friends from different clubs, organisations, and styles drop in to train, and everyone is always made to feel part of the WMAC community.
