The advantage of private tuition is unchallengeable. Whether you are a member of a regular martial art class already or you have no commitment at all in the moment and look for a way to get active. A private lesson will give you the spark to do something for yourself.
Master Horst offers private 1:1 teaching in the martial arts and meditation. It is possible to connect two students too. Master Horst is a licensed sports teacher for martial arts, meditation and yoga with over 30 years of experience.
If you are serious about your training and learning, don’t miss out this opportunity in the Bridport area. There are not many skilled teachers around and you don’t need to travel too far for your tuition. The training is either in the Bridport Dojo or can be arranged at your home. The costs are calculated on what package you book and how often you like and need training.
