## Is this suitable if I have little experience?

Yes. Everyone starts at the same beginner level. Instructors build skills step by step and adapt training to your level. No prior martial arts experience is required.

## Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. You get fitter by training. Intensity is adapted to your condition. Students include people of many ages — including 70+.

## Is it safe?

Yes. Safety is a priority. Training uses appropriate protection in a controlled environment with certified instructors.

## What do I bring to a trial lesson?

White T-shirt, sports trousers (no belt), sports shoes, towel, large water bottle. Protection gear is not required for the trial lesson.

## I feel nervous. Am I welcome?

Yes. Feeling nervous is normal. The group culture is supportive — no egos, no intimidation.

## How fast will I see results?

Many people feel more confident after a few classes. Around 4 weeks many notice fitness, strength, and confidence gains. With consistent training, first exam readiness is often around 3 months.

## Can I try before I commit?

Yes. The introduction deal offers 3 lessons at a reduced rate without membership obligation: https://www.monkees.nl/deals/introduction-card
