Going tonight to watch

He sounds like a good person. My sensei offers 8 classes free to new members, though.

I agree completely. There is a person who wants you to make an informed decision.

It sounds like a great dojo!

I hope that you enjoy it - let us know how you get on when you try it out.

last night. Since I have to take the later class I am with quite a few blackbelts but it worked out well because they were all very encouraging.

Thank goodness for all the crunches I did in the military or I would not have been able to do all of the after workout excercises!

The Sensei was great and after watching me for a bit began helping me correct my form. Very encouraging.

I will keep you guys posted on how the training goes.

I am concerned about learning the kata's as one of the higher level students mentioned I should try to come earlier for the beginner classes (unfortunately my work schedule will rarely allow that) but I am not deterred.

I did want to add that after that first lesson... I think I might be hooked!

Excellent! That is very good. Learning katas will come in time. As they perform their own katas just concentrate on yours, don't bother trying to learn theirs right away.
