Questions people ask
Will I have to spar?
No. Sparring is never part of a class unless you ask for it, and even then it starts light, with a coach watching.
Do I need to be fit already?
No. Fundamentals is paced for beginners, and you can take a breather whenever you need one. Fitness comes from showing up.
Will I be the only beginner?
No. Fundamentals is beginners only, and every class is mixed: all ages, all backgrounds, plenty of people on their first month.
Do I need my own gloves?
Not at first. Use ours until you know what you like. The desk can help you choose a pair later.
What if I'm late?
Come in anyway. Your bag is held for ten minutes, and the coach will catch you up on the warm-up.
