The thought of walking into a Self Defence class for the first time may be quite daunting. In some Martial Arts new student's are treated with less importance and are made to feel inadequate, but at Pro Mai it is quite the opposite. From the moment you walk into a Pro Mai class you will find that you are warmly welcomed by both the instructor and the other student's and beginners are always given extra help and guidance when they are starting out. You will start your first class with a warm-up and stretching routine that is suitable for your fitness level and then you will start to learn your first few essential Self Defence skills. You are not expected to already know any techniques and you will never just be thrown in at the deep end, the chief instructor or one of the assistant instructors will take you carefully through your first few basic techniques. All the time that you are receiving instruction you will be encouraged to ask questions so that you understand all the techniques and skills perfectly. By the time you have finished your first class you should have a clear understanding of how effective Pro Mai is and have some basic skills that will improve your personal safety. What's more you'll have had fun, got a bit fitter and met some new friends!
