Thoughts on private lessons By seninoniwashi - 12-15-2008 12:00 AM

Heya guys and gals,

I'd like your thoughts whether your background is Kenpo or not. I've been practicing outside of a formal school for awhile now as I just don't have the money or time for the large classes. My focus is to revisit all the techniques I've learned up to brown belt and then join back into a formal school. I figure by that time I'll have the money and time to enjoy a formal class by then.

A few years ago I joined a larger school to get refreshed on what I knew but felt it was a waste of time as I was mixed in with lower belts and found myself doing delayed sword and triggered salute over and over and when mixed in with the more advanced belts I found myself overwhelmed getting stuck with techniques like leap of faith and not feeling solid on my basics - feeling almost unworthy working these advanced techniques and forms without rebuilding my basics.

What are everyone's thoughts on private lessons? When I was younger I was against them but they seem to be very fitting for what I need now - just, a bit more expensive then I'd like. One school offers them at $30/hr however there are two other instructors in the area I'm thinking about approaching with a lower proposal. Does anyone out there know of any good Kenpo instructors in the Northern Idaho or Spokane Washington area?

Also, from an instructors point of view - how much do you all charge for private lessons? Would $10 - 15 /hour be acceptable?

Thanks for any and all responses given.
