What to wear
Comfortable athletic clothes you can move in. Bring water. No jewelry. Trim nails. For No-Gi you don’t need a gi. Bare feet on the mats.
Where to go
Doka Academy — 306-4888 Vanguard Road, Richmond, BC. Arrive a few minutes early so we can settle you in.
What class one feels like
You’ll learn how the room works, how to tap, basic movement, and one clear technical idea. You are not expected to be good. You are expected to show up and ask questions.
How partners communicate
Tap early, tap often — with your hand or voice. Tell your partner if something feels wrong. Experienced students will help you; that’s part of the culture.
Your first milestone
By the end of your three classes you should know basic positions, how to move safely, how to tap, and whether this room fits you.
