Instruction for New Budoka

 

​There are many reasons for wanting to learn self-defence. With this in mind, a confidential appointment is required to discuss your exact requirements. Once we have agreed on your initial goals, I will structure a training program within the possibilities of your personal limits. 

 

One to one tuition can be intense, as you command 100% attention of the instructor. Initially this can make you nervous. Also mistakes are more obvious, compounding the nerves even more. Over time, you will learn to relax when under the microscope. This in itself is a benefit to self-confidence.

 

Private tuition requires a certain mind-set, because the student has to complete personal practice time alone. A one-hour lesson transfers into hours of practice, if you cannot commit to personal practice then you will be wasting your fee. 

 

I enjoy one to one as I love to see development. I am bolstered by enthusiasm, instructors thrive of it. All I ask of my student is that you try. This is the single most important word to me. We all have different skill levels, but a person that gives 100% is a true Budoka and stands out like a shining beacon.

 

​

After the introductory lesson, five sessions is the minimum commitment required. Anything less is a pointless request.
