Ready to Start Training? Here’s the Basics.
There’s no uniforms or experience necessary before you start a class or private lesson. All our offerings are beginner friendly, so you can feel free to drop-in on a class and contact us to schedule a lesson whenever you’re ready.
When you do, we just ask that you:
Show up clean
Bring a positive attitude
Wear comfortable and appropriate workout attire
Bring any relevant gear you own (we’ll have some if you don’t), and a water bottle to stay hydrated
Follow a few simple rules:
Rules for Training with Sims Martial Arts
Be Collaborative, Encouraging, and Keep an Open Mind
Because Jeet Kune Do (JKD) guides our approach, we avoid pursuing a single “perfect” art, technique or form. Everyone will move differently based on their individual abilities and unique tools. In short, everyone is different.
When you train here, we hope you’ll maintain a positive attitude that appreciates everyone’s unique differences.
Make no assumptions
People of all ages, genders, races, orientations, shapes and sizes can be powerful.
Leave your belt at home
Achievements are great. An inflated ego is not. When you’re here, prepare to simply focus on training without a hierarchy.
Be a training partner—Not a micromanager
Everyone trains for their own individual reasons. Let them.
