• Judo: centres on throws and takedowns, developing balance, timing, and spatial awareness through live partner training.

The cost depends on:

• Your current level (complete beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The instructor's experience, qualifications, and martial arts background
• The package you choose (one-off trial or ongoing lessons)
• Where the sessions take place and what equipment is available

Difficulty in martial arts depends on the complexity of the style, the physical demands, and the depth of skill required.

• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): often cited as the hardest to master — the sheer volume of techniques, positions, and submissions can take a decade or more to learn fluently.
• Wing Chun Kung Fu: a traditional Chinese art built on intricate hand positions and footwork that require years of repetition to internalise.
• Muay Thai: requires both technical refinement and exceptional physical fitness, making it one of the most demanding striking disciplines.
