Absolutely not! This form of training was designed to bring you from zero to very capable in the shortest possible time. Don’t feel intimidated at all, this is a very welcoming and friendly group. Everyone here had a first day too! No uniform or Gi’s needed, ever. Just wear comfortable gym clothing, sneakers or wrestling shoes (we keep shoes on for training), and bring water!
