what he said. we are expected to train at home as well, not just twice a week at the kwoon then forget about it until we go back. you can tell the people who view it as more of a job than anything else- myself and another guy who is now a good friend could do the second kata after a few weeks, whereas all the others in our class took far longer, because we both practiced away from the class.

and so, we get shown the stances and once we can do them without difficulty we are expected to train them by ourselves. same with things like basic punches and kicks.

as for this class you want to join, ask the instructor why they dont warm up beforehand. we do a fairly full stretching workout before each class, and it makes you far more flexible
