Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Our current online martial arts program consists of the following:
1. Real-Time, Online Class Sessions - classes where the student can interact with the instructor and other online students.
2. Pre-Recorded Class Sessions - recording of the real-time online classes and are available a few hours after the class takes place. These classes are for those who can’t make the real-time class times, but still would like a “follow-along” video of the session. Ideal for those who need a flexible schedule but still want to get a good training session.
3. Pre-Recorded Lessons - These are videos on the fundamental of Kendo and/or Iaido. These are styled as if the student was being taught directly at the dojo by the instructor. The lessons are pre-recorded and available on demand.
4. Online Private Lessons - Focused, 1-on-1 or small group training where individual attention can be given to the student.
