PRIVATE LESSONS:

At United Studios of Self Defense, every student receives thirty minutes of private instruction each week. Private Instruction provides the ultimate in personal training. This focused learning approach insures that each student will get the attention they need to succeed.

Each class is tailored to the needs of the student, which allows progress at a much faster rate. Students can receive additional help in troubled areas. Students may be treamed up in the private to begin training on the more advanced principles and applications of techniques. Private Instruction is always scheduled at your convenience.

GROUP LESSONS

In addition, students may attend as many group lessons as they like. Groups increase cardio and provide an excellent time to practice skills and techniques with students close to the same age and ability.

With a goal of successful practice and application in mind, each class consists of effective self defense training and drills, plus various exercise and stretching routines.

Hard and Soft

Sometimes in the dojo, we talk about hard and soft styles of martial arts. This may not be a concern to the kids who come in to train who are so energetic and flexible and seem to be able to learn any jumping spinning move with ease. But for those of us who may have started our martial arts career in our adult lives, at some point it starts to be a topic of some interest.
