Online Private Lessons

When I first heard online private lessons were coming out, I was skeptical. I need to see, feel, and hear things to get them and I was nervous not being able to “feel it” would be an issue. I started doing lessons with James Kentoshi Norris in 2011 because my training methods simply weren’t working for me. I’ve been doing them 2-4x per month ever since. It’s absolutely amazing what we can accomplish. From basics of a kata to advanced mechanics, from the subtle to the obvious, we can cover it all. For me, having a regular teacher is key. I am so grateful that this technology exists. My taijutsu is smoother and my teaching is elevated because I chose to invest in my training.

Like video private lessons, video evaluations give a high level of personalized feedback. You can take a short video of your training and have Kentoshi return a video with feedback, both spoken and even drawn right over the top of your video so you can get a visual understanding of just what is going on. The best part is you can watch the feeedack over and over again! (These evaluations are just for feedback. Actual rank evaluations must be sent to our NinjaSelfDefense.com site)
