The one-on-one sessions with Andy Sensei are fantastic as he takes the time to meet his students, review their form and provide constructive feedback. All you need is space, time and the self-discipline to train.

You get the most out of the dojo sessions if you study the curriculum at home and just have to practice the application in class – this way you get confident for the grading in no time!
