Why once a week

One class a week.
Six days to make it yours.

Every class is 100% practice, with no theory to sit through. You learn one skill in detail on Saturday, and for the rest of the week you do it yourself until your hands know it.

  1. Saturday

    Learn it in class

    You go through the skill in detail, hands on, with your instructor next to you. You leave with homework.

  2. Sunday to Friday

    Practice every day

    You practice what you learned every day, in your free time.

  3. Next Saturday

    Exam, then the next class

    You start with an exam on last week's skill. Then the next class begins.

If you don't practice between classes, even ten hours with an instructor is wasted time and money. That's why classes are once a week.
