Why Should You Take Private Lessons?

Many students find it extremely beneficial to schedule short or long term private lessons.

Personalized quality time with an instructor can mean the difference between an average self defense experience and an exceptional one.

We take into account that group classes are not for everybody. Our private class program will offer personalized instruction allowing you to learn street self defense on your schedule at times convenient to you. Private training allows instructors to work directly with you to rapidly achieve your goals. With a semi-private lesson, you still receive the same benefits of a private session and can train with a friend, partner, or spouse at a cheaper per person rate.

A private session allows for a more intimate view into YOUR abilities. You can spend some time working with a specific goal or concern.

And if you are new, a private lessons will ease or reduce the stress or intimidation experienced by beginners when attending group classes for the first time. Private lessons will give you a crash course on the basics which will give you the foundation necessary to feel comfortable in a group environment.

Private classes can offer a highly viable option if you have set a specific goal. With a specific goal in mind, a private instructor can tailor and create specific techniques for you designed to help meet your goals.

We teach mostly experienced martial artists who want to add weapons defenses to their systems which will take their defenses to the next level. A private instructor can work closely with you in leading you into more challenging defenses.

So some of the benefits are:

1. LESSONS ARE CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU.
   Your lessons will change and adapt to what your needs are.
2. FASTER PROGRESS.
   Because private lessons are typically taught one-to-one or two-to-one, your instructor will have a lot more time to work with you individually which will lead to faster progress.
3. CONVENIENCE.
   Taking private lessons is very convenient. While group classes are normally scheduled on set days and times, private lessons can be scheduled at a time that is convenient to you. Let’s say a class is scheduled on Mondays from 7pm to 8pm, but you cannot make it because of a work conflict, are you supposed to NOT work out now? Private lessons solve this problem and allow you to make an appointment with your instructor at a time that will work for you. Normally, the studio’s hours tend to be 9am-9pm daily so there’s lots of room for scheduling. 
4. REACH YOUR GOALS.
   No matter what your goal is, private classes will help you master self defense faster. Private classes will enable your instructor to assess your ability and create a plan that is centered around your personal development. With personalized instruction, you will be able to reach your goals quicker.
5. INSTANT FEEDBACK.
   During a group class, it isn’t possible for an instructor to focus completely on one student. In a private class, your instructor is your training partner for each technique. He can provide you instant feedback on every detail to help you master the techniques quicker and with greater skill.
6. INTENSIFY YOUR REGULAR SESSIONS.
   Regardless of how often you take private lessons, the knowledge you gain from your one-on-one time with your instructor will translate into your regular sessions. Many students still remember the tips they received from just a few training sessions with a private instructor throughout their lives. If you are the type of person that likes to go above and beyond, adding a couple of training sessions to your regular training will give you the edge and equip you with the knowledge and training to be ahead of the curve.
7. LEARN WHAT YOU WANT.
   Any training and material offered at the Academy can be addressed in private instruction and tailored specifically to you. One on one with an instructor you can learn the material of your choice at your pace. Private instruction allows you to develop a deeper understanding of the material as quickly as possible, as well as allowing you the freedom to explore and look more closely at any aspect of your martial arts training.
