Function First Martial Arts and Fitness

Function First Martial Arts and Fitness, led by Paula, has been at the heart of the Lincoln community since 2005, delivering top-notch martial arts training for 18 years.

Paula’s school offers a robust schedule for both kids and adults, with no binding contracts or rigid schedules. Kids aged 5-8 join the Vipers and those aged 9-15 become Cadets, with classes running all year long to build up their skills consistently.

Adults benefit from a free trial and a 10% discount for carers, plus the flexibility to train on their own terms. They can cross-train under one roof, roll over missed classes, making it ideal for shift workers. Competitive fighters can join dedicated fight team packages.

Paula fosters a friendly, inclusive environment where families can train together, and private 1-2-1 sessions offer personalised attention. Students train at their own pace, with support for competition prep, grading, and personal goals. Every session is customised to the individual’s needs.

Conveniently located, Function First welcomes visitors from Monday to Sunday, 9 AM to 9 PM. To get started, call 01522-543-787 or email Paula at paula@s2c8.co.uk.

Join Paula at Function First, embrace the club’s philosophy, “If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for,” and experience the life-changing benefits of martial arts.
