No—our classes prioritize safety above all. Nobody wants to cause harm to others or themselves. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about punches, kicks, falls, or close contact with unfamiliar partners. That’s why we emphasize calming the mind through patience, consistent practice, and precise control of our movements.
Respect for yourself and others forms the foundation for preventing injury. Through mindful training, students develop compassion, cooperation, and confidence when working with partners. We understand that the fear of accidental injury can be daunting, but with time, you will become comfortable with physical contact, feel stronger, and gain the confidence to protect yourself effectively if needed.
