CHOOSING A MARTIAL ARTS CLUBEach Martial Art has its own characteristic style and teaching method. Emphasis on the nature of thetraining varies from competitive to non-competitive, traditional training to sport, self-defence tospiritual or self-development. Etiquette is an essential element in such training. The relationshipbetween training partners (or opponents) and between students and teachers must be one of mutualrespect and consideration.

Which Martial Art will be best for you? It is important to choose a Martial Art that you will enjoydoing and that suits you physically. Take a look at some of the different classes or better still takepart in them and then make your choice.

Do you have to be fit to start a Martial Art? As in any sporting activity, lack of fitness (muscular endurance and strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility) increases the risk of injury. It is a goodidea to take up a fitness building routine specific for your activity.

What do you have to do to join in a class? The best way is to see a class in progress and talk to aClub Officer/Instructor before or after a class (please not during the class). This way you can find outinformation first hand from the club to check the fees and what equipment you will need to buy.

What should you wear for Martial Arts? Beginners should bring loose, sturdy training clothes suchas a T-shirt and track suit trousers to wear. For safety, watches and all jewellery, e.g. rings, earrings,stud earrings, neck-chains, bracelets must be removed before training. If you are doing a martial artyou will eventually need to buy the appropriate martial arts uniform e.g. Judo or Karate suit.
