Beginning a martial arts program can be daunting, but there's nothing to worry about! A beginner's class typically includes an introduction to the basics of the chosen martial art, including basic strikes, blocks, and stances. The focus is on developing fundamental skills that serve as a foundation for future training.
Before your first class, you should wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. You may also need to bring or rent some equipment, such as a uniform, gloves or a mouthguard. You should arrive early and introduce yourself to the instructor and other students. You should follow the instructions and rules of the class and ask for help if you need it.
Although any sport or activity has some risk involved, our team of certified instructors follow safety protocols to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our students. In fact, unlike sports which has one adult supervising an entire team, we have multiple instructors monitoring a room at all times making sure everything runs smoothly. We understand that each student has their own unique limits and we encourage rest and feedback during exercise.
For your first few classes, comfortable workout clothes like a T-shirt and sweatpants or shorts are appropriate. Once you decide to commit to a specific martial art, you will need to purchase the appropriate uniform and any necessary protective gear.
Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.
Consistency is key to progress in martial arts. We recommend attending classes at least two to three times a week to build a strong foundation and continually develop your skills.
