Well, our trial lesson tonight was awesome! We'll definitely be signing up for the regular class. There's a lot of bowing required--when you enter the arena, when you actually step onto the
floormat of the arena, when you leave both, whenever a higher instructor calls for your attention, and pretty much whenever you happen to make eye contact with anyone else--but they say you get used to it.
We were given a quick tour of the facilities, then one of the instructors taught us basic forms one-on-one (well, okay, one-on-two) since everyone else was doing individual stuff in preparation for an upcoming belt test on Saturday. We're supposed to go back next week to see what it's like during a more normal class, since they don't know yet that we're already completely sold on it.
Things I learned: I have great hand formation and terrible foot formation. Every time I kick or lunge forward, my foot lands with the toe turned drastically inward like I'm pigeon-toed, and meanwhile I can't keep my other heel on the ground without ripping my calf in two. This of course makes my balance terrible in these stances. So I have something to work on before next Tuesday!
