Common questions

Before your first class.

Straight answers before you step onto the mat.

01What should I wear?

Wear fitted athletic clothing without zippers or metal. If your first class requires a gi, ask the academy about a loaner before you arrive.

02Do I need to be in shape first?

No. Training is one way to build fitness. Coaches can scale your first session and help you learn the movements before adding pace.

03How early should I arrive?

Come about fifteen minutes early. You can meet the coach, see the gym, and fill out any forms.

04Can I watch a class first?

Contact us first. A free trial is often the best way to see how class works and ask questions.
