For more information about what Martin can offer you and your club, group or association, call him direct on 07973 410010. Details on group tuition, seminar tuition and instructor accreditation are listed below.

Private Tuition

If you are just starting or are already training in the martial arts or other aspects of personal safety training, you may well be looking for that extra, specialist session, outside of main class tuition. It may be that time does not allow you to train when classes are on, or you want to work on specific needs or interest within the arts, preparation for a grading, a competition or your own personal development.

ITC Chief Instructor Martin Smith 6th Dan is available for private or small group tuition in any aspect of the ITC curriculum. It is not possible to list all the benefits of such tuition, so call us and we can arrange an introductory session to discuss and highlight your needs.

Tuition is available in all aspects of the martial arts and personal safety training and is ideal for both men and women, whether beginner or advanced student or at Instructor level. You can train individually or with a partner, the latter being of greater benefit, as it enables better monitoring of progress by the tutor. Sessions can be booked for times to suit you, and the length of the session is up to you depending on various factors such as your experience, the things you want to cover and how often you can attend such sessions

Remember you can chose your own path and select training in any specific programme within the ITC curriculum or just obtain an over view and then progress on to formal, recognised grades and qualifications within the Institute.
