In your first month training at World Martial Arts Center, you will notice many changes in your physical body, and you will discover new things about yourself. The first month can be challenging as our physical and mental muscles are called into action. Sometimes both the mind and body react with a big "Noooo" because they are used to being sedentary and in a comfort zone. Other times we want to jump right in, ignoring what our bodies are telling us because we are racing towards mental goals. HapKiDo represents the hard and soft, and teaches us how to push past our many mental "No"s, while staying aware of what our physical bodies are telling us. If you choose HapKiDo and the World Martial Arts Center, you will be making a commitment to yourself and one that will help you reach all of your future goals.

In the first month, you should be calm and relaxed; do not stress about your first few classes. Everyone that came before you, even the Master, had a first class. You should never push yourself too hard. Don’t kick too high, don’t stretch too far. Be an active observer and have fun. Don’t worry about learning or remembering, it will all come in time. Don’t worry about how you look, we care more about how you feel and your safe and steady progress. Enjoy your first step on the road of Martial Arts and self-mastery.
