Walking into a new environment, learning unfamiliar techniques, and training alongside others can be challenging at first. That’s completely normal—and it’s exactly where confidence begins. We don’t expect anyone to be confident from day one. Confidence is something that develops through experience, not something you need before you start. In class, the focus is on creating an environment where students feel supported enough to try.
