Private lessons typically run $50 an hour.\u00a0 Your tryout lesson costs less than 1\/2 that rate.\u00a0 This gives you the opportunity to meet the instructor and vice versa.\u00a0 You have time to ask questions and get a feeling for the training and the teaching methods.\u00a0 If you decide to pursue training, your initial fee will be deducted from the first month of training.\u00a0 The monthly rate is less than 1\/2 the 1:1 hourly rate, and is paid by noon on the first of each month.\u00a0 If you begin training, you simply have to verbally commit to trying it for 2 months.\u00a0 You do not need to pre-pay.\u00a0 Your word should be enough.\u00a0 <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are not a commercial dojo.\u00a0 No juice bar, sauna or workout room.\u00a0 It’s a garage converted to our workout space. <\/p>

Prior to the pandemic, we held regular classes in Mint Hill through an MMA gym.<\/p>

Our school is undergoing some exciting physical changes, including a private entrance with a door code, painting and a new floor covering.\u00a0 But it is still a garage.\u00a0<\/p>

The garage has multiple fans and both AC and heat for safety and comfort.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There are 6 primary levels in Taboada system.\u00a0 When you and your instructor feel that you’re ready to pursue a level test, you’ll be brought to the Grandmaster for a “check-up.”\u00a0 After the checkup, we’ll schedule a day and time for testing.\u00a0 Level 1-5 tests are $50 per test, and a certificate is provided if you successfully pass.\u00a0 Level 6 typically only takes place at a larger seminar, such as our annual World Camp.\u00a0 This level is more expensive, and confirms your dedication and practice of the art.\u00a0 Whether or not you pursue level 7, which qualifies you as Instructor level, is up to you. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes.\u00a0 Training is individualized.\u00a0 For safety, you must disclose any physical limitations or risks to your instructor.\u00a0 In this manner, they can work to keep you safe throughout your training.\u00a0 But this is still a martial art and a physical pursuit.\u00a0 So you must understand and agree to the possibility of naturally occurring challenges, injuries, etc.\u00a0 <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Treat each session like a Doctor’s appointment.\u00a0 Your teacher is reserving this time for your training.\u00a0 This reservation also limits another student’s opportunity to train at that time.\u00a0<\/p>

So please provide 24 hours minimum notice for cancellations.\u00a0 True emergencies, such as hospitalization are understandable. Your teacher will make every effort to provide a makeup class. If you need to cancel, please come up with 2-3 makeup days\/times to assist this process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
