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.
