As a complete beginner, I felt a bit unsure about going along to my first class - was I too old and creaky to be trying this? Would I be poked with a bamboo stick? If not, why not?
Thankfully all my fears quickly dissipated. I was met by a friendly and welcoming group of people, with a broad spread of ages and a near 50/50 M/F balance. Initially attempting to hide at the back, I was quickly ushered down to the front where I could see what the instructor was demonstrating (and, I suspect, so he could make sure I wasn't in danger of hurting myself).
I'm only a few weeks in, but the experience so far has been fantastic. The senior students are very approachable and helpful in giving advice, the classes are a great mix of physical challenge and memory tests, and it's just all so...fun.
My wife is also delighted, believing kung fu to be safer for me...
