Your First Visit,Then Your First Class

Your first-visit checklist depends on who is starting. Adults begin with a short First Visit; kids and teens arrive early for safety and may train that day.

Start calm. Train smart. Adults begin with a conversation and studio visit; youth and teen visitors review safety before their selected class and may train that day.
