Training follows the 200+ FCS framework: practical kinetic movement, dynamic striking mechanics, and functional conditioning. Progress is measured by what your teen can execute, not by what colour belt they bought.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gs-faq-item\"><h3>Will my teenager be sparring?<\/h3><p>Hard sparring is prohibited for beginner and intermediate teens. Training is technical drills, pad work, and controlled light touch-sparring for timing and distance &mdash; without the concussion risk that comes with full contact.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gs-faq-item\"><h3>How fit does my teen need to be to join?<\/h3><p>Any level. The programme scales to the individual, and the early conditioning blocks exist precisely to build the stamina, agility, and core strength that are missing at the start.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gs-faq-item\"><h3>Is mixed martial arts for teens safe at this age?<\/h3><p>Trained this way, yes. The risk in combat sport comes almost entirely from repeated head contact and from bad mechanics under load &mdash; we remove the first and correct the second. Sessions are capped in size so nobody trains unobserved.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gs-faq-item\"><h3>What happens if a class has fewer than 6 students?<\/h3><p>We notify you in advance and either merge the booking into the next available session or transfer your deposit. Your deposit is never lost.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gs-faq-item\"><h3>Can a parent stay and watch?<\/h3><p>Yes, especially for a first session.
