Is it hard to learn?
NO - Some of the techniques may be alien to you but the objective of the course is to learn simple but effective techniques and therefore shouldn't be too difficult to learn. If you have problems with a specific technique speak to the instructor who will try and simplify the technique or show you a different one more suitable for YOU as an individual

NO - although some techniques will require a little more force then others. ALL of the techniques have been chosen because they need as little amount as force as possible to achieve your objective.

Is it dangerous?

Once you understand you will work in pairs or groups and practice the technique slowly at first then building in speed with confidence.


Do I need to be fit?
Not overly - However there will be a warm up at the beginning of each class to prepare your body for physical exercise. Just as in most walks of life the more you put into this class the more you shall get out of it.
