Are there any martial arts schools that teach students individually?

I'm looking for a martial arts school in the Central East-Coast area, somewhere around Virginia or one of its neighboring states, that teaches its students one-on-one. I don't really mind what kind of martial art it is, but it needs to have the option of being taught individually.





Thanks.

Are there any martial arts schools that teach students individually?
Most schools have some kind of means whereby private lessons can be obtained or given. Some packages or contracts may even include that and the Tracy Karate system which teaches Kempo is one that actually puts emphasis on private lessons with a few group classes each week.





There is a disadvantage to having only private lessons. For some techniques and certain types of martial arts you best develop your skill by practicing and training with a multitude of partners. For this reason I always make those few students that I teach privately attend some group classes so that they can better practice and develop their skills.

its M.V.P%26amp;randy orton are better then u
Reply:I don't know your area, but many schools have that option. You should just call around and ask, even if it isn't listen in their ads or literature. Even if the Senior Instructor doesn't want to take that on, there is usually an Assistant or two that would be happy to teach private lessons. Just keep in mind that just like having a personal trainer or something, it will cost u!
Reply:a ton of them do. Of course, its a private lesson, you will have to pay much much more.
Reply:Yes, a lot of schools give you the option of one-on-one training. I own a martial arts school just outside of Ocean City, Md. Our introductory martial art is WKKA style American Kenpo, though we currently have a brand new Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu class that is taking adults (I don't teach that one, I am actually a student in it.). Both myself and Thomas Sensei take students one-on-one, we just have to charge a little more to do so since when we are doing one-on-one, we are required to use that time on one person instead of being able to compensate the money through multiple people. I usually charge about $50 an hour, but I can negotiate with someone that isn't quite thick in the wallet. We are called Panther Academy of Martial Arts.





Hope this helps.
