The first day, made simple

What Happens at Your First Class?

We want your first visit to feel exciting, not intimidating. Here is how to prepare and what a typical beginner class involves.

  1. 01

    Arrive a little early

    Aim for 10–15 minutes before the class time we confirm with you. That gives you time to find us, ask questions, and get settled.

  2. 02

    Meet your coach

    Tell us if it's your first time or if your child is feeling shy. We will explain the plan and help you feel welcome.

  3. 03

    Learn the fundamentals

    Expect a warm-up, simple movements, and beginner techniques suited to your class. You can learn at your starting level.

  4. 04

    Talk about what comes next

    After class, ask questions, discuss your second trial class, and see which ongoing program could fit your goals.

Your first-day checklist

What Should You Wear or Bring?

  • Comfortable workout clothes: a T-shirt and athletic pants or shorts you can move in.
  • Water bottle: bring water and take breaks when needed.
  • Easy-to-remove shoes: ask your coach about footwear before stepping onto the mats.
  • Keep jewelry and valuables to a minimum: follow your instructor's safety guidance.
  • Questions or concerns: mention injuries, accommodations, or anything that might affect your comfort before training.

The $29 new student special includes a free uniform. We'll help you with the uniform details and fit—there is no need to buy a gi before your first visit.
