Open Small Group Q&A

Q. What's the difference between open classes and open small groups?

 

A. In my open classes, the level of difficulty tends to lean more on the intermediate side. Also, in open classes the participants are mixed levels so you may have beginners in class with advanced students. The class size can vary to a handful of students up to 15 or so and open classes are also filmed for record and promotion. 

 

In the open small groups, you will train with students at a similar level as you and it's guaranteed no more than 4 participants at a time. This gives us more time to receive personal instruction and corrections. Also, these classes are not filmed.
