Private Lessons
Private lessons are available in one-hour sessions with a minimum of three sessions per month. Private lessons are actually semi-private, as we may schedule no more than three other private lesson students at the same time slots. However, we will not schedule more than one style per session. Private lessons are for martial arts students who have unique schedule requirements, such as weekends or early mornings. The benefits of training with other martial arts students besides your instructor outweigh the benefits of training one-on-one, so we do not teach one-on-one sessions. Our rationale is that fighters need a variety of sparring partners of various sizes and abilities, and one-on-one instruction cannot provide this. Private students are required to attend a minimum of one group sparring session per month in addition to private lessons, and we do not charge for the group lesson. Attendance to scrimmages and competition is mandatory to qualify for private lessons. Weekend Warriors
Some martial artists who do not have the time to commit to a full-time program, or do not live in our area, may elect to choose our “Weekend Warrior” program. The Weekend Warrior meets with our instructors one weekend per month, and is expected to train intensively in-between meetings. We will cover the same amount of material as a full time program, except the pace is much faster than a regular class, and more intense than a seminar. With ample practice and regular attendance, one should be able to progress at close to the normal rate as a full-time student. We highly recommend that Weekend Warriors participate in one-week camps at least twice per year as well. Training Camps and Mini-Camps
Several times per year, Typhoon Philippine School offers training camps and mini-camps for students who wish to study, but live too far to commute monthly. These training camps are taught during the day, and are full-time training days (4-6 hours). Additional attendance to regular scheduled evening classes (2 hours) are strongly encouraged. We offer one- and two-week camps each summer during the second and third week of August, and a one-week camp the last week of December. All other camps are held by request. |
