Private Lessons

[Brent Smith]

At what rank do you believe someone should be at for you to be comfortable to take a private lesson from him/her?

[Kevin Reed]

I teach white belts all the time

I would say it doesnt matter, if some one has a legit technique that is their identity and hit all the time i would take a private from them.

So youre saying at blue belt youre still getting people to pay for private lessons?

So basically rank isnt important as long as the knowledge is there. I can dig it.



I ask because I have a project in mind and want to see how important rank is to people in general.

He is saying what should the instructor be to take lessons from, honestly if they are solid it shouldn't really matter but from a technical respect and experience factor I would say a purple belt and up would have a lot to offer.

Thank you for clearing that up. I was trying to say that as clear as possible but I can see how it was a little confusing

There are def a lot of guys out there that have an amazing game that haven't gotten the recognition quite yet.

I'd say rank isn't a big factor. Its more about content.

[Brent Smith]

Would any of you take a private lesson from someone that is ranked below you?

[Jonrivello]
