Total confusion, combined with the scolding attitudes were a failure and I almost walked off.
My advice is to find a group of friendly people that want to learn, watch some Youtube videos on the gameplay, stretch out, be careful and have some fun.
DO NOT take the PB100 on court class.

The problem with individuals who don't have a teaching background, they often don't realize when you teach a group of people, you must teach to the lowest level student in the class;trying to impress with knowledge instead of teaching is of little value to a student;if you have extra knowledge of the subject being taught, yes you will feel the instructor did a good job, however if you are at the low end and lack extensive knowledge of the topic being taught and instructor is trying to impress, then you have the right to be frustrated;it is nice they volunteer their time, but they do need feedback to help both them and the student.
