Accelerate Your Progression

Whether you are a complete beginner starting from day one or an experienced practitioner with years of training in Goju-Ryu Seiwa-Kai karate, scheduling a private session with Shihan Vassie Naidoo (8th Degree Black Belt, Vice President of the Seiwa-Kai International organization) provides a direct line to accelerated growth.

Shihan Naidoo’s globally renowned expertise in the technical applications of Kata and Kumite builds an unbreakable foundation for new students, ensuring correct body mechanics from your very first lesson.

Advanced students can utilize private training to radically refine deep technical stances, structural form execution, and defensive speed to seamlessly transition to the next level. For those prioritizing safety due to specific health concerns, our private karate lessons offer an ideal, isolated alternative to larger group environments.

Personalized Pace

Whether you are sharpening advanced traditional Goju-Ryu kata or picking up a belt for the first time, your instruction is customized to match your physical goals and individual learning style.

Flexible Scheduling

Fit your martial arts journey seamlessly into a busy West LA lifestyle. We offer flexible early morning, midday, and evening training blocks to elegantly accommodate your calendar.

Deep Technical Focus

Get immediate micro-corrections on body mechanics, breath control, and application details that accelerate your growth at double the rate of standard group class environments.

Individual Private Training

One-on-one attention explicitly tailored to your personal development. These solo blocks are optimal for isolating mechanical adjustments, fine-tuning kata tracking, and rapidly expanding your structural base directly under senior supervision.

Private Group Lessons

Train with select peers, family members, or colleagues. Small-group sessions capture the precise technical tracking of private instruction while allowing you to drill timing, combative distancing, and bunkai application with consistent partners.

Booking Information & Training Options

All private training sessions directly with Shihan Vassie (8th Dan) are booked by personal arrangement to ensure complete curriculum customization.

Private lessons are also available with our certified senior dojo instructors at reduced tier rates. Inquire below for current availability.
