A good place to start
Start by choosing the teaching format and contact level you want, then compare beginner classes.
What to compare
- Discipline
- Contact policy and beginner progression
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
