Class Schedule). (return to top) 5. I've never studied any other martial arts, is this a problem? You do
not need to have studied any other martial arts in order to train with us. In fact, our
training is probably unlike any other martial arts that you may have studied in the past,
so it's best to throw away any preconceived ideas of what the martial arts are about!
Unfortunately, many less-than-reputable martial arts schools claim to offer "ninjutsu"
as part of their training - but only to those who have earned a black belt in some other
art. This is not the way things are done in Japan and it's not what we do in our training
group. (return to top) 6. What do I need to bring with me to class? When first
visiting a class, you need not bring anything besides an open mind. If you choose to participate
in the first class, then you should wear loose comfortable clothing (sweatpants and a
sweatshirt are fine) and a pair of warm socks. If you own a martial arts uniform, feel
free to bring that as well. After a time, it's recommended that students purchase a black
training uniform (gi) and tabi (traditional split toe footwear). (return
