Hi folks, I am looking at getting back into MA after a good few years break, but one of my concerns is- i am looking at working for the ambulance service which as you can imagine will involve all sorts of crazy and varied shift hours, so there may be times when i wont be able to attend classes for the entire week/days absent here and there. How do instructors feel about students that have sporadic attendances or cannot achieve 100% attendance? I would hate for an instructor to think that i was a lazy student/not interested in training etc when to be honest i would love to train everyday if it was possible! Would this sort of thing affect my training too much or how the instructor would view me as a student?

Thanks all! great to be here

Hi all! Have been a bit of a forum lurker for a few weeks, have been looking for a good Martial Arts forum and the advice and encouragement on here is awesome! I am 33, did a few years kickboxing as a teen to get fit for joining the Navy and now that i am back home i am looking at getting back into MA. (I struggled settling into a club whilst i was serving as i was constantly moving around/away at sea) Look forward to speaking with you all!
