In private lessons, your instructor will present the techniques in a carefully pre-determined sequence that will most efficiently develop your reflexes and build your confidence. The order in which you learn the techniques greatly affects the time it takes you to master the art. This process continues until you have mastered all the techniques in the module. Once you fully understand the new techniques, the instructor will show you how to combine them with previously learned techniques in a series of Reflex Development Drills. Each private lesson begins with a review of previously learned techniques, followed by the introduction of 2-3 new techniques. Private classes enable the instructor to teach the lessons in the order that will optimize learning and to adapt techniques to suit an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. While Gracie University ® is internationally famous for the quality of its group classes, some people prefer to start with private training.
