I’ve
been
taking
classes
at
Radius
for
about
a
month,
and
I
wanted
to
write
a
review
for
other
people
just
getting
started.
I
consider
myself
lucky
to
have
landed
here.
I’m
brand
new
to
Muay
Thai
and
Brazilian
jiu-jitsu.
Plus,
I’m
of
the
female
persuasion.
I
was
worried
about
finding
a
place
where
I
could
take
classes-
worried
that
I
wouldn’t
be
considered
capable
or
welcome.
But
Radius
just
isn’t
like
that.
First
of
all,
they’re
all
very
good
at
what
they
do,
which
is
absolutely
awesome.
I
went
to
watch
a
bunch
of
them
compete
in
my
first
week
there
and
it
was
crazy
impressive
(and
fun
to
be
cheering
for
a
team
that
did
so
well).
Still,
when
what
everyone
is
good
at
is
fighting,
it
can
seem
really
intimidating.
But
no
one
is
scary.
Or,
more
crucially,
no
one
is
trying
to
scare
you.
There’s
not
a
lot
of
ego-driven
performative
badassery.
People
genuinely
want
to
help
you
learn
and
get
better,
even
when
you
are
(like
me
sometimes)
obviously
struggling.
Now
this
part
may
not
be
important
to
everyone,
but
it
was
important
to
me-
there
will
be
other
women
in
your
classes.
It’s
not
any
kind
of
an
anomaly.
There
isn’t
any
pressure
or
punishment
if
you
aren’t
“one
of
the
boys.”
I
put
that
down
to
the
culture,
which
is
quite
serious
about
training
but
otherwise
very
chill.
There’s
not
an
instructor
there
who
I
don’t
have
something
great
to
say
about
them.
And
while
I’ve
only
been
there
a
month,
that’s
true
of
the
students
I
know
as
well.
The
only
word
of
caution
I’d
give
is:
do
not
forget
to
bring
water.
