Answer 1

Nobody can answer that for you.  There are plenty of places that will allow a trial period however it is $300.00 plus for the gear so you need to know ahead of time. Where would you be sparring, maybe a friend could loan you their gear so you can check it out first.  I know, eeeeeew,.but I have loaned my gear to women for just such a thing. (cleaned it with rubbing alcohol after,) They never joined but atleast they tryed.

My bet is you would like it.  It will be exhausting at first but stick it out and you will see.  Go for it, you never know until you try.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 2

I work at the YMCA and we offer these exercise classes and there is no competition involved. You should check out local gyms or the Y.

Answer 3

If you are taking it to get fit it can be a great workout.
