Before you arrive
Keep it simple.
Your first session is about getting comfortable with the room, the coach and the basics of the class.
Comfortable sports clothing
Wear clean, comfortable training clothes that allow you to move. Remove jewellery before training.
Water and any kit you own
Bring water. If you already own suitable gloves or protective equipment, bring it. If not, mention that when booking so we can confirm what is needed for your session.
What happens in class
Technique first.
You will not be expected to know what you are doing on day one.
Coach-led warm-up
The session begins with movement appropriate to the class rather than expecting you to arrive already fit.
Fundamentals and drills
New starters work on the same core skills that experienced students continue refining: stance, balance, movement, defence and clean technique.
Controlled intensity
Training intensity should match experience. The purpose of your first visit is to learn and understand the environment, not to prove anything.
