[nabs-l] Athletics in College

[lizzy]

Hi All,
I'm thinking about taking some form of a martial art (more 
specifically Judo, Karate or Tae Kwon Do) in the fall semester.  
They are all club sports, so no one has to have prior experience 
to join.  I'm wondering if I should speak to the instructor 
before coming to a class? Should I try to learn some of the 
movements one-on-one before class and then practice them while 
there? Or should I just show up and go with the flow? Are martial 
arts typically very visual? If anyone has experience with or 
knows someone who has done these martial arts before could you 
give me some pointers.  I honestly have never seen any of the 
moves so I don't really know what to expect.  I've done other 
sports before but nothing like this so as always, any advice or 
information you can give me would be fantastic!
Thanks,
Lizzy
