One-on-One Private Training
One-on-one training is a great way to focus on the special interests of the student, invigorate your practice, gain mastery over that difficult skill that has eluded you, or simply a fun way to continuously go for your personal best.
Whatever the reason, students of every age emerge with a high level of skill, confidence, and motivation to be their best and to enjoy the movements and discoveries of their martial arts journey.

What You Can Work On in a Private Lesson
- Technique mastery: Break through a plateau on a specific kick, throw, form, or self-defense technique with the kind of focused, individual correction that group classes can’t always provide.
- Belt test preparation: Sharpen your forms, techniques, and confidence ahead of promotion tests with dedicated attention on exactly what your next rank requires.
- Kumdo sword skills: Refine your swordsmanship fundamentals or advanced techniques between Saturday classes with individual instruction.
- A personalized challenge: Explore a special interest within our curriculum, accelerate your progress, or simply add depth to your regular training. Private lessons benefit students of every age and level, from young beginners to advanced practitioners.
