When joining an mma/boxing gym is it best to make a call before joining or can i just step in without calling?

Question

Im 15 and im thinking of joining but shoul I call first or can I just walk in there? I already know how much it is.

Answer 1

its best to call so you can make some sort of appoitment because you dont want to walk in there while a class is going on and have to interupt everything that is going on

Answer 2

Definitely call and set up a pre-class meeting if possible.

There may be things you need to know before class - For example;removal of shoes, appropriate attire for class, bowing in / onto mat, how to address the instructor.  Usually you will be given a sheet or at least a website where you can find the class rules for conduct.

Also, you may need some supplies before class - handwraps, a school uniform or t-shirt, bag gloves, etc. are common items that your school may require new students to have.

Making this call will make you more comfortable beginning class, and will let your instructor know you are sincere about your training.  Good Luck!

Answer 3

Call in first. You may be able to set up a free lesson. At any rate, it's better if the instructor expects you to be there, because he is better prepared to answer any questions you might have.
