Know your why. Why are you wanting to get into training the art. It maybe you want to be the next world champion, you might want to try some amateur fights, you might want to get in shape, you might want to gain confidence in yourself, only you know why you want to do it. Also communicate that with your coach so they can figure out the best game plan for you.
