Think you're too new to start?
That's exactly why you start.
Most people wait too long. They want to get fit first. Or feel more confident first. Both of those happen by training, not before it.
At STB, beginners walk in not knowing how to throw a punch. By the end of the first class, they know how to throw a punch. That's the whole barrier.
