Why Do We Offer Two Trial Classes?

One class is not always enough to understand what martial arts training is really like. Your first class allows you to become familiar with the facility, coaches, and class structure. Your second class gives you another opportunity to participate, ask questions, and decide whether the program is the right fit.
