Cancelling and no show fee

Booked a class, but can’t make it? Please cancel in advance.

  • Cancel up to one hour before the start of your reservation (but earlier is encouraged!).
  • Are you not cancelling (on time)? Then you risk a no show fee of €3,-.
  • Are you not paying the no show fee? In that case you can’t make a reservation/work out for 2 weeks.
  • Your no show fee doesn’t end up on the big USC company pile. Check in which sports goal we’re investing the no show fee income.

What do you learn from it?

A unique combo of ground fighting, wrestling takedowns and a little bit of kickboxing. The sport really lives up to its name: Mixed Martial Arts!

Goals

Learning how to defend yourself, focussing on fighting on the ground. All this in a safe environment without macho behaviour.

Personal development

By joining MMA trainings you also develop yourself on a personal level. For example by:

  • gaining self-confidence;
  • being more comfortable when somebody approaches you physically;
  • maybe experience a match under guidance at a later stage.
