Chase makes his way around to all the students in time, talking to people, offering suggestions and anything else he can do to help, keeping his tone even, trying to sound more helpful than critical, without taking it too easy on anyone.

"If you're struggling with something, go backwards. If you can't get up smmothly on the kip-ups, stop fighting it and do more crunches and rolls. You'll find its easier to do kip ups in a week or two when you build up your core. Same with push ups. Not many people your age can do one muay thai push up right... and that's fine. Go army for a couple weeks, and work up. There is absolutely no hurry here, and everyone is better off doing everything right than doing things too fast. I'd rather take months to teach someone to do it the right way, then work up to making it reflexive than have someone fight through and learn bad technique. The fact you're getting to your feet on day one is impressive... but remember, you're not competing with anyone in this room. You're training to be the best teammate you can to them, however long that takes."
