Please join our special BEGINNERS / NEW STUDENTS ONLY martial arts / self-defense class on Saturday, February 7th from 12:00 - 1:00pm!
(New students are welcome in every class, as we always teach according to attendance, but this class will be specifically designed for new students. If you've been to our class before, please sign up for a different session and free up a spot! If you have some form of martial arts experience, but haven't been to our classes before, you're welcome to attend this one — we'll be going over some fundamentals and ways to practice with each other, which is great to know going forward so we're all on the same page.)
Gym attire is suggested: sweat / track pants, t-shirt, sneakers / closed-toe shoes. Bring a water bottle, we have a cooler. Please allow for #FixTheMTA delays so we can all start on time!
We have been teaching free, ongoing classes for NYC-DSA members since January 2023! All experience levels are welcome — you haven't "missed" anything, each class is geared to who is there. New attendees will learn fundamentals and frequent participants can practice more advanced material.
While the material is practical and you'll get a workout, safety and comfort are our top concerns: techniques are practiced slow-motion in the air or on supervised partners for precision and knowledge, and power is only used when striking the instructor's pads.
Please note classes are for members only — i.e., adults. We are not able to provide childcare because of the nature of the class and the small size of the office.
