Coaching
Can your child do a technique in drills, then struggle to use it in sparring? Together, we find where it breaks down. Your child practises that situation against resistance and takes one clear focus into their next group class.
Group classes are the foundation. This coaching is for children who want to work on a specific goal, whether they train for fun or for competition.
Alongside group classes
Build on what you train.
In group classes, your child learns to work with different training partners and styles.
Personal coaching gives your child time to work on one goal. That could mean escaping a difficult position, trying their own approach with more confidence, or making decisions under competition pressure.
The approach
Understand why it works.
Each session has one clear goal. Your child learns which grip, position or timing makes the difference, then practises that choice against resistance.
02
Apply
Practise the principle against resistance and learn to recognise when to use it.
03
Think for yourself
Find your own solutions during sparring and reflect on the choices you made.
