FAQs

Do you have long-term contracts?

No, membership is strictly on a month-to-month basis. Members simply inform us by the 15th of the month if they will not be training the next month. There is never a fee to cancel, or change, a membership at BMAI. For your convenience, change in membership forms are available at the front counter.

What should I wear for my first class?

It depends on which class you are trying. You can wear sweat pants or baggy shorts, and a t-shirt if you are trying a karate/taekwondo class. If you are attending an aikido or systema class it is best to wear sweat pants and a long-sleeved shirt. This protects your knees and elbows from getting abrasions on the mat when you learn the basic falling skills. For the judo class you will need to be wearing a judo uniform, because the Judo techniques rely heavily on gripping the uniform. We should have a judo uniform you can borrow for your trial lesson.

When do I need to have my own uniform?

If you join the karate/taekwondo program it is not required that you have a uniform during your first month. You will need a uniform right away if you enroll in either the judo or aikido class.

Should I get in shape before joining a martial art?

Not usually. An instructor can help you decide which of our martial arts programs is best for you. Practicing martial arts is very good exercise and will help get you into much better condition. However, all forms of exercise (such as weight lifting, running, swimming, yoga, etc.) work well in conjunction with martial arts training. The most important thing in all forms of exercise is to increase the intensity of training slowly so you make consistent progress without injuring yourself.

What is the right age to start martial arts?

If you want learn martial arts, the best age to start is the age you are right now! (Unless you are under 5 years old, then you need to wait a little bit.)

We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
