MA private lessons

[Alan Armstrong]

Usually in a club setting members help each other out with the dos and don'ts.

Private attention from a CI on specifics that you need to know are invaluable.

Vital information missing from a style could make all the difference in becoming good at it or not.

The weakest link in a student's abilities needs to be recognized and improved upon from a CI.

Hard work dedication and perseverance from a student still needs plenty of individual guidance from a CI.

Students can pass on bad habits to other students in spite of their good intentions; a good CI will try to prevent this from happening with plenty of good advice.

Private MA lessons should focus a student towards perfection and bring out the best from within.

Many things can be practiced in a group setting but the transference of information of certain aspects need to be done on a one to one basis, otherwise the student will ultimately suffer the consequences...

There are a lot of good points already made here. As mentioned, it can be very beneficial to work on fine-tuning something that you've been struggling with in class, or help you sharpen some things up prior to competition. The instructor also gets a better idea of seeing things he/she thinks you should work on to improve.

If you have the time for it, then it can be a great help.

For sure I will consider it at one stage but don't think I will start it that early though

I totally agree with you Alan individual guidance from CI was one of my biggest issues in my old dojo, hopefully it's not a problem in the new one. I will wait for a while until I can configure what I need to work on/ fine tune before thinking of private lessons.

Yeah, I don't think there would be much of a reason to start them off right away. Take some time to get a grasp of the goals of the system, and how things are done, and gauge how things are going. When you feel like you are starting to have issues with some aspect of training, then maybe look into scheduling a private.
