No. Beginners focus on technique and positional work first. Sparring is optional and always coached.
For trials, sportswear and water are fine. Regulars use mouthguard, hand wraps, gloves, shin guards for striking and a rashguard shorts combo.
Safety is our priority. Clear rules, proper tapping, matched partners and coach supervision keep rounds controlled.
Two to three sessions per week build momentum. Add strength work and recovery for faster gains.
