What this program explores

Fight Friday is FAC's coached sparring and pressure-testing format, led by Dan Fox at College. The public program describes controlled practice intended to connect concepts and movement with a partner who responds.

Who might find it a useful fit

This may be a useful part of training if you want to explore timing, composure and decision-making against resistance. It is not automatically the best first class for someone with no experience. The current dated schedule labels the session intermediate.

How to approach a first class

Contact FAC before attending to discuss your experience, the session format, protective equipment and visitor arrangements. Clarify how intensity is agreed and how partners are matched. Do not assume that the word light removes the need for preparation and communication.

Make an informed choice

A sparring session has agreed rules and training objectives. It should not be represented as a guarantee of self-defence capability or as identical to Marco Costa's BJJ lessons. Ask which parts of the session are relevant to your goals and covered by your membership.
