Your First Class

Taking your first step into self-defense or martial arts, even if you have no prior experience, is a commendable decision. We understand that being a beginner can be daunting, but there’s no need to worry! Just approach it with an open mind. Prior experience and flexibility are not necessary; all you need is enthusiasm and a positive attitude.

If you have any uncertainties or questions, please feel free to leave us a message! We encourage you to ask for more information whenever needed.

To ensure a smooth start, we kindly request you to arrive at least 5 minutes before the class begins for registration.

Here are some tips for your first class:

  • Wear comfortable sportswear that allows for movement and stretching.
  • Maintain good hygiene, as classes often involve partnering with others.
  • Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated and comfortable.
  • Pace yourself and avoid pushing too hard on your first day.
  • It’s absolutely okay if you don’t know everything; you’ll gradually learn what you need to know over time.
  • Most importantly, have fun!
