Expect nothing, often new fighters are just ignored. Where im from id be worried if anyone was too pleasent, so jus go there and work, trainers frown on guys who jus go there to be seen, yet they'll take an interest if u show some dedication.
The very best of luck to you and any advice, jus ask and if i cant help there's heaps of guys here that no a lot more than me

If your gym is anything like mine, you'll be pretty much ignored until you EARN their respect and time

Yeah man, noone payed me any mind until i started shedding some blood, sweat and tears. Well maybe not tears. But yeah..i wouldnt have preferred it any other way.

I agree. You can probably expect a safe environment though. You'll know it's a bit dodge if the coach or coaches routinely KO people or something. That's unlikely though. Have fun

You can expect things to take a while to learn too. Most beginners seem suprised at how much harder it is to learn than it looks. Like with many things people who are good make it look easy but it's rarely easy for anyone to learn.
