Get changed, then wait at the edge of the mat. The instructor will ask you to come one, just bow and walk on the mat, join in.
Simply walk in, if there is a class running already, just take a seat and wait for the class to finish, if it's your first time at our gym, Someone will come over and see you.
The instructor will usually come and greet you first. If they've missed you, just walk up to them and introduce yourself, they'll be happy to help you get used to the routine.
You can either wait outside, seating available, or enter the gym and take a seat inside and wait for your class to begin.
For Your First BJJ Class, loose clothing is fine, if you have a uniform from Judo or karate etc, this is also fine.
For Our MMA class, loose clothing like shorts / t-shirt.
Just ask whoever is teaching, try to resist just walking off the mat without asking.
