Choosing your first martial art depends on your goals, but some disciplines are especially welcoming for beginners.

• Karate offers a clear belt progression that helps beginners track their development over time.

• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the UK and is particularly effective for self-defence situations.

A private martial arts instructor can help you identify the right discipline for your goals and guide you through the fundamentals at your own pace.
