FAQ

What is Good Fight?
Good Fight is a modern karate school in Valencia for adults and teens. We blend traditional mechanics with applied movement, clear teaching, and a community that values curiosity, consistency, and real improvement. Training is practical, technical, and enjoyable — something that feels good in your body and makes sense as you learn it.
-
Who are the classes for?
Anyone roughly 13+ who wants to move better, get stronger, learn real skills, and train in a focused environment. Beginners, returning martial artists, complete novices — everyone starts where they are.
-
Is this a traditional dojo?
We respect the roots — but we don’t run on rigid hierarchy or ritual. Expect clear mechanics, posture, and kata used as a learning tool, not a performance. Think structured practice, not stiff formality.
-
Is this a competitive or high-pressure training environment?
No. Training can be athletic and challenging, but the pace is thoughtful and the focus is on learning — not proving anything or being tough. We work timing, striking mechanics, padwork, and partner drills in a controlled, respectful way.
Some students like to push their limits; others train calmly and steadily. Both are welcome.
-
Do I need to speak Spanish to join?
No. Classes are primarily in English, with Spanish layered in naturally as needed. If you can follow movement and ask a question when you need one, you’ll be fine.
-
What do I wear?
For your first sessions: comfortable athletic clothing. Over time we’ll introduce a simplified modern gi adapted to Valencia’s climate — but nothing special is required to start.
-
Is there sparring?
Only for students who want it and only when ready. It’s taught progressively with timing, control, and composure at the center — not aggression. Plenty of students train seriously without sparring, and that’s completely valid.
-
Do you use belts? How do they work?
Yes — but simply. White, green, brown, black. Promotions are based on skill, clarity, control, and consistency — not testing days or memorization. Belts mark progress; they don’t define anyone.
-
What’s the difference between Flow and Core?
Flow focuses on foundational movement: posture, transitions, alignment, and balance. Core focuses on application: striking mechanics, padwork, drills, and partner timing. Most students eventually do both.
-
Do I need experience or fitness before joining?
No. Most people begin with little or no background. We teach step by step so you build coordination, strength, and confidence as you train.
-
I’m older, out of shape, or working around injuries. Can I still train?
Yes. Classes are paced for real bodies, not fantasy athletes. We adjust movement and contact levels so you can train safely and progress steadily.
-
Is this good cross-training if I do BJJ, Muay Thai, or similar?
Absolutely. You’ll build striking clarity, timing, posture, and the ability to work safely with distance and angles — skills that translate well across arts.
-
Can I try a class before committing?
Yes. We offer trial options so you can experience the training and get a feel for the community first.
-
What kind of people train here?
People who want meaningful training — locals, expats, creatives, professionals, parents, athletes, and complete beginners. If you value effort, curiosity, and respect, you’ll fit in.
