Are you worried about:
- Feeling lost and unable to keep up as the newest person in a big group class
- Being pressured to spar before you are ready, with little to no preparation

- Wasting time learning outdated techniques that would not work in a real fight
- Lacking confidence in your skills because you are not allowed to train against resistance
