[Advice for Beginners]
Beginners are always very welcome, whatever age or level of fitness. All of our classes are paced according to ability and experience, and senior students are always available and willing to provide patient help and advice for new starters during all training sessions.
Some of our classes are especially for beginners and these allow basic movements and techniques to be assimilated at a slow and steady pace.
We try our best to make the initial learning experience as pleasant, rewarding and painless as possible.
