NEW KARATE STUDENT?
WHAT TO EXPECT THE FIRST DAY
Before class, you will personally get to meet the Instructor, who will explain the workings of the class and who will then casually introduce you to the other
karate students and encourage you to socialize. The mood before class is relaxed and casual.
WHAT TO WEAR? ATTIRE?
We recommend that for your first visit to the United Studios
of Self Defense (USSD) - Denver area Front Range locations, that you wear loose, casual, and comfortable clothing. This could be similar to what you would normally wear to a fitness club or a gym.
No jewelry should be worn, such as watches and chains etc. Fingers and toenails should be well manicured. This avoids scratches and injury to yourself and others while training.
DURING CLASS
Upon the commencement of class, you will be 'formally' introduced to the rest of the students and given a special welcome. The class will then initiate its traditional bow-in ceremony, before relaxing the class into meditation.
As the class continues, we will take you through a host of warm up exercises, basics techniques consisting: blocks, punches & kicks, before practicing traditional
Karate body movements or Karate Kata.
AFTER CLASS
The instructor will meet with you after class and will discuss immediate feedback with you on how you felt about the session. If you like, you can arrange further lessons, or you can leave your contact details with us to allow yourself time to think about continuing lessons. Later, we will give you a brief courtesy call to discuss any further interest.
Children need to have a guardian present with them for their first trial lesson.
