Book NowIf you are total beginner the next CARISMA beginners course will start on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 5:45pm to run for 4 consecutive Thursday and Tuesday classes (e.g.17, 22, 24 and 29 September).

We would like to gather numbers to be prepared so it would be great if you could leave, confidentially, your name in this form. Also please make sure to turn up before 5:45pm at Kelsey Kerridge as there might be a long queue.

Please note: it makes sense for you to join the beginners course just if you are available to attend all lessons, until its end and with the intention and availability of joining our club after the beginners course ends and planning to train with us for the months to come. According to our philosophy martial arts take time to be learnt to a minimum level of proficiency, so please refrain from joining if you are leaving Cambridge immediately after the beginners course ends.
