1-on-1 Coaching
Your Goals — Your Pace
Is It Right For You?
Who Gets The Most From Privates
Group classes are incredible for community, live drilling, and building instincts under pressure. But private lessons fill the gaps that group classes simply can't — personalized feedback, technique deep-dives, and a plan built specifically around you.
Beginners Wanting a Head Start
Learn the fundamentals at your own pace before joining group classes — reduces anxiety and accelerates early progress dramatically.
Competitors Preparing for Tournaments
Fine-tune your A-game, gameplan specific opponents, and drill your best positions to a razor's edge before a competition.
Practitioners With Specific Technique Gaps
Struggling with a specific position, submission, or escape? A private session targets exactly that weak point with no distractions.
Parents & Kids Seeking Extra Development
Supplement your child's group classes with focused one-on-one time that reinforces techniques and builds confidence faster.
Students Returning After Time Off
Getting back on the mat after an injury or a break? A private helps you ease back in on your own terms before rejoining group training.
Why Private Lessons
What You Get That Group Classes Can't
Group classes build community and instincts. Private lessons build your individual game.
100% of the Coach's Attention
No splitting focus across 20 students. Every correction, every rep, every minute is dedicated to you and only you.
A Custom Game Plan
Your coach will build a session around your specific goals, weaknesses, body type, and learning style — not a generic curriculum.
Faster Skill Acquisition
Students who supplement group classes with even one private per month consistently progress faster and retain technique better.
Flexible Scheduling
Book sessions that work around your schedule — mornings, evenings, weekends. Not locked into a fixed class time.
Direct, Honest Feedback
Instructors can speak candidly about what's holding you back — the kind of direct coaching that's hard to give in a group setting.
Safe Return from Injury
Recover and rebuild at your own pace. Your coach works around your physical limitations to keep progress moving safely.

Private Lessons FAQ
Common Questions
Q.Do I need to be a member to book a private?
No. Private lessons are open to members and non-members alike at the same $60 rate. Active members receive priority access to coach calendars and preferred time slots.
Q.Which coach will I be paired with?
We'll match you with the coach best suited to your goals. If you have a preference for a specific instructor, just let us know in the notes field and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Q.What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule without charge. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a cancellation fee equal to the session rate.
Q.Can I bring a training partner to split the cost?
Absolutely. Semi-private lessons (2 students, 1 coach) are available at $90 total — $45 per person. Both students must have compatible experience levels and goals. Mention this in your booking request.
Q.What should I bring?
Bring your gi or no-gi gear depending on what you'd like to work on, a water bottle, and any specific questions or techniques you want to address. Your coach will handle the rest.
Q.How often should I take private lessons?
That depends on your goals. Competitors often do 1–2 per week leading up to a tournament. Recreational practitioners who want steady improvement typically benefit from once or twice a month alongside regular group classes.
