Who is welcome?

When can I start?

What should I wear to the introductory class?

For your free introductory class and trial membership period, you may wear a clean pair of sweatpants or track pants and a clean T-shirt (no tank tops).

Most students train barefoot but if you would like to wear shoes, please carry in a clean pair of non-scuffing athletic shoes.

Please remove any jewelry and wristwatches, etc.

Is there a uniform?

Do you have a ranking system? How does it work?
