Your Private Introductory Start-Up Offer

Are you a little nervous about starting? That's normal for everyone on their first lesson! Even myself, the Master Instructor of Cobra Martial Arts & Fitness Centres was nervous when attending my first lesson as a child, almost 30 years ago back in 1984. When I speak to other students and even current Black Belt instructors, they tell me that they were also nervous in the beginning.

Why are we all so nervous about turning up to the lesson which will positively change the rest of our lives? Basically we don't know what to expect! On arriving for their first lesson, some of the questions running through people's minds include:

1) I am overweight, unfit, uncoordinated or inflexible etc - I am not sure if I will be able to handle it?

Let me assure you that most of our students are unfit and inflexible when they start. Besides learning self defence, fitness development is of the main reasons people want to start with us. As a beginner you will be with other beginners, must train at your own pace and must only do what you can. We will gradually build your fitness with you over time!

2) What if they are a bunch of hero's or macho men / women - I will feel uncomfortable?

You will not encounter this type of person at our school. The macho / ego type of personality doesn't last long at Cobra. These people change fast and become more humble, respectful and disciplined. It is not long before we see them helping other students rather than thinking of themselves. Cobra is a family martial arts centre and the above changes happen to people as part of the program. 

3) Will I have to fight someone?

No! Beginners are not allowed to spar as they simply don't know enough. As you advance and learn more, if you choose to spar (optional) you may attend the specially run sparring sessions. 

4) Do I have to do push-ups and other such exercises - because I don't think I could manage that?

Relax, only do what you can. Do not compare yourself to the person next to you. Just aim to improve a little each week. How does a pigmy eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Inch-by-inch it is a cinch!


About The Private Introductory Start-Up Offer

To ease your nerves, what I have done is created a special Private Introductory Start-Up Offer which we will be running for the next few weeks. It is a ONE-ON-ONE Private lesson, conducted in a separate area from everyone else. It will be taught for you by Cobra's friendliest instructor, hand picked by myself! It will be a very light session with the sole purpose of introducing you to Cobra Martial Arts.

When you come back, if you are an adult you will train in the adult BEGINNER ONLY classes. You will not be put with experienced students. Everyone in your class will have only just started. I have allocated my most friendly instructors to teach the beginner classes and they will insist that you go at your own pace and can take a break anytime. Only do what you feel comfortable doing. As you get fitter and stronger, you will be able to do more and more, and soon you will be so fit that the beginner class will become easy for you. Yes, I am not joking, I have operated Cobra for over 20 years and I see dramatic and immediate fitness improvements every week. At that point you may move into the more intense, ALL LEVELS classes if you wish. If you prefer however, you may train in the all levels classes immediately from day 1.

For children, you will train in a class according to your age group ie 3-5yo, 6-9yo, 10-14yo, 15+yo. I have special instructors especially allocated to assist first time childrens. Advanced level children train in a separate class to beginners. Parents will notice immediate changes in behaviour, confidence, respect, focus and attention span.

So it is well worth taking advantage of the amazing Beginner's Private Introductory Start-Up Offer which we are offering for the next few weeks. You will also save about $200 by taking advantage of the Private Introductory Offer.
