General Course Syllabus and Costs
Since every student progresses at a different rate, we tailor all training to the individual based on a day to day structure. We don’t require you to pay for a full course up front.
Pricing
- $350/day without gear purchase
- $250/day with gear purchase (purchase can be anytime after training)
These are full 8-10 hour days, not 2-3 hour sessions. Also, very often you will be the only student and thus enjoying a private lesson. These daily training prices include all gear.
