Common questions
How much does private tuition cost and where can it take place?
We offer private tuition as 1:1, 1:2, small groups, seminars, adult and children tuition (for children their parents must be in situ for the entire session and preferably two children so they have training partners of similar stature).
Our most popular choice is 1:2 tuition as it allows the cost to be shared and allows Dan to oversee and guide you as a pair throughout the techniques being taught.
The tuition can be held in various locations, including local permanent dojos and if preferred your private residence as we have mats which can be bought along to practice on. Pricing varies subject to location – please contact us to discuss what your requirements are in more detail and we will agree on the cost before formalising the booking. There is a 50% cancellation fee if you cancel the appointment within 24 hours of the agreed time. There is a 100% cancellation fee if there is no communication and the appointment is missed.
