Personal Training

We offer two main options for private training with NC Systema:

Private 1-1 sessions, in which the Instructor works directly with the trainee on strength and skill development. Here, the Instructor can assess the trainee, and assign drills and training exercises appropriately. Specific training topics (i.e. grappling, striking, groundwork, weapon work) may also be requested in advance.

1-1 privates start at $100/hour. Click the links below to schedule your first 60-minute appointment.

Private one-to-one or small group sessions offer an accelerated path to skill development. Here, instructors can provide more individualized attention and feedback,  helping existing trainees to eradicate weaknesses, learn specific skills, and build personalized conditioning routines for solo training. Private classes also offer an effective alternative for those unable to attend regular group classes, who are recovering from injury or illness, or simply prefer a more private setting.

Specific topics for private sessions may be requested ahead of time. Please feel free to choose from the list below, and e-mail your Instructor (ideally, at least 24 hours in advance) with your preferred topic. Alternatively, your Instructor can pick the topic for you, based on your apparent needs.
