Private Instruction

Locally

Private or semi-private classes are available based on the schedule of both parties. Fees will vary because there is no South Florida school where James Cravens teaches. Usually, private lessons are taught in parks, at homes, etc. This, as well as time and frequency, must be worked out through conversation by EMAIL or phone.

Tuition varies based on the distance Mr. Cravens has to drive etc. This can be discussed if one emails and states the intention to study. One can pay by the class or by the month. One can pay by cash, check, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, Cash App, or online by clicking the donate button, allowing you to put in the exact amount. A no-show should be paid for, but classes can be canceled if done at an appropriate time before the class.

Virtual Online Classes

Virtual Online classes can be taught using the Zoom format etc. The difference, of course, is that there is not one there to correct. Some topics, such as learning movement from a style, can be done. Martial topics often will need a partner, which can be done as well online.

It is necessary to have a space where you can set your computer or device so that it will pick up your entire body. Corrections cannot be made if only a part of your body is in the frame. So that will take a little setup time to know the distance needed and the placement of the device. You, of course, will need decent audio on your device so you can hear well. You can use earphones if you adjust your settings in the Zoom app.

You must talk with James Cravens by Email or phone to set up all the class details.

Other local students have studied with me for a long time and can also teach. I may only have time for so many with my schedule, so others can do well.
