The level of attention to detail that is experienced in a private lesson will drastically improve both your technique and understanding of Jiu-Jitsu.
Private classes are the fastest way to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After only 20 private lessons a student will improve dramatically his/her skills to defend themselves in a real street self-defense scenario.
Men, women and children may quite safely take on the learnings of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu even though they may have little or no previous experience with any type of martial arts.
