| Do you have to be in shape to join? Not necessarily - our competent instructor will factor in your age and fitness level when conducting the class - if you are concerned, check with your doctor first Will I be expected to do dozens of pushups and other types of conditioning exercises? Absolutely not. In the beginner classes, we focus on helping you develop good form and you will be allowed to work at your own level Will it take a long time before I am fit enough to perform the basic exercises in the class? It depends on lots of things - your current fitness level, your overall health and the consistency and frequency of your training. Supplemented with practice at home and attend classes regularly and you will see dramatic results in a few months Will I have to break boards? Definitely not. Breaking boards and bricks has little to do with regular practice and more to do with testing the spirit and is mostly done by advanced students. "As an adult beginner I did wonder a bit if I would fit in with younger more advanced students. From the first class I felt at home and have enjoyed the training from day one!" -- D.H. | |
