You might be visiting our website after seeing our neon sign advertising private lessons at our Martial Arts Studio in Tain, or after hearing about our private lessons on or offline. Here's the details...

Our lessons are suitable for everyone with good health, both male and female! Would you like to study the Japanese Samurai Martial Art of Kempo, or take Self-Defence lessons with high-ranking male and female Masters in a private space? If so, we have you covered with lessons for children (8yrs+), teens and adults at our foam-matted Martial Arts Studio in Tain as long as you can take at least one suitably sized person along to train with you! There is a minimum of two people required for a one hour lesson with a maximum of four people. For two people the total tuition rate is £40, for a second and a third person it is an extra £10 each, so a total tuition rate of £40, £50 or £60.

Kempo:
Private Kempo lessons are available for SKA members and the public. Members of the public who would like to try our non-competition Martial Art can start their training in loose clothing such as a t-shirt and joggers with bare feet or soft-soled indoor shoes. If they decide to study our Kempo syllabus on a regular basis, they can buy a Blue Gi (uniform) and continue their journey as a beginner white belt rank in the exciting and dynamic art of Yoshin Kempo with Scotland's original Kempo organisation!

Self-Defence:
Private Self-Defence lessons are available for those who would like to learn practical and effective defensive skills without studying a complete Martial Art. People train in loose clothing such as a t-shirt and joggers with bare feet or soft-soled indoor shoes.

All of our instructors are Disclosure Scotland PVG checked and fully insured with multiple decades of Martial Arts experience. The SKA membership and insurance fees are waived for those who start private lessons!

Some of the advantages of taking private lessons:

Sharpen up before a Kempo grading exam with a more in-depth learning experience.

Great for beginners to get started in Kempo without being overwhelmed.

Customised lessons to suit your particular needs.

Kick, punch and strike BOB BULLY - our resident mannequin training bag.

Catch up on missed classes.

Train at your own pace.

Study when its convenient for you with adjustable time schedules.

Private lessons are taught by one of the following SKA Masters:

- Hanshi Neil Hourston 9th Degree Black Belt.
- Kyoshi Helen Beattie 8th Degree Black Belt.
- Shihan Darren Gandy 6th Degree Black Belt.
