You don't have to be fit to begin training, many participants lack general fitness when they start training. Regular training will dramatically improve your fitness. Initially, people are encouraged to train at their own level but as their fitness improves will be able to push themselves more. 

From the beginning you will be welcomed and encouraged as you learn the basics of stance, striking, techniques for falling, and defenses against common attacks. Gradually you will be be able to perform under stress and gain awareness and prevention skills that will aid in avoiding violent confrontations. Classes are designed to be fun but challenging.

Wear workout clothes that you find comfortable. Bring non marking sports shoes for in the gym and are also suitable for outdoor training. A mouth guard is recommended but not a requirement.
