What Are Private Martial Arts Lessons?
Private martial arts lessons offer individualised coaching focused entirely on you. Sessions are planned around your experience level, goals, and areas you want to improve, allowing for clearer instruction and faster understanding.
Training one-to-one allows instructors to adapt techniques, pacing, and drills specifically to your needs. Whether you’re working on confidence, fitness, technical skill, or preparing for group classes, private lessons provide a supportive and focused learning environment.
Private sessions can be taken on their own or alongside group classes to enhance progress and reinforce learning.
Flexible Private Training Options
Private lessons at Sheffield Martial Arts Centre can be tailored to suit how you prefer to train. Sessions can be taken one-to-one, shared with a training partner, or booked as a small group, while still benefiting from focused coaching and personalised instruction.
For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, private sessions are taught in a partnered format, making it easier to learn techniques, positioning, and movement in a clear, practical way. Training with a partner also allows for better understanding and application of techniques under guidance.
Small group private sessions are ideal for friends, training partners, or teammates who want to learn together while still receiving direct coaching and individual feedback.

Before You Book a Private Lesson
Private training works best when expectations are clear on both sides.
WHO PRIVATE LESSONS ARE NOT FOR:
Private lessons are designed for focused, personalised coaching.
To make sure they’re the right fit, they may not be suitable if:
You’re looking for a casual drop-in session with no structure or goals
You’re not able to commit to turning up on time and prepared to train
You’re unwilling to follow coaching guidance or feedback
You’re mainly looking to socialise rather than improve skills
You frequently cancel sessions at short notice
If that sounds like you right now, group classes may be a better place to start and we’re always happy to help you choose the right option.
