The MSF course I took had bikes with worse brakes than my Loop. They have poorly maintained bikes most of the time.

 Am I supposed to brake with the hand grip, the foot brake or both? I am
sure they will tell me the end of April in my motorcycle class, but why not
ask now.

Keep in mind though that the MSF course is oriented towards
motorcycles that actually have brakes. The old loopframe models have
poor brakes at best so you use whatever means at your disposal to stop
the beasties including downshifting and dragging your feet.
