Private Instruction
One of the aspects of training that has always set the Tracy System ahead of the curve is private instruction. Each student receives at least one private lesson each week in addition to the group workout classes. Private lessons are taught by certified instructors.
Private instruction allows a student to develop at his or her own pace, in a safe inviroment, free of the distractions of a class type atmosphere. in a private lesson, students and instructors have the freedom to explore the techniques and tailor the curriculum to fit the individual needs of each student.
Private lessons are excellent tools for teaching children. Although many children do well in a group enviroment, most will benefit greatly from some one on one time with their instructor. In private, there is no pressure to perform, no one watching you learn a new and difficult skill, and no peer pressure to act out on.
Another benifit of private instruction is found in the group classes. Because new material is learned and practiced first in private, the instructors in group are able to gear the class towards repetition and fitness, correcting mistakes and improving performance, but not really needing to take the time to teach new material.
In short, students who participate in a martial arts program that includes private instruction are able to assimilate much more material in a shorter amount of time than those who attend group classes only.
Group Classes
Group workout classes focus on neuromuscular conditioning through repetitive movement of the techniques and basics. The classes are designed to help the student build the power, speed, balance, timing, accuracy, and flexibility necessary to utilize the self defense techniques.
Sparring classes
In Sparring Classes the students train for sport karate tournaments as well as free sparring. These classes are important in the fact that they give the student a chance to face the fear of a confrontation and to overcome that fear. It also gives them confidence that the material they are learning actually works! You also have the opportunity to develop your timing and rythm.
