Instructor Sean makes the lessons fun, challenging and tailors it to my learning style. He pushes you to your limits and doesn't let you slack off for even one shot/strike. He explains all the why and hows of every strike into real life situations. It’s great to learn how to get your mind and body moving as one unit from coordinating your breath to transitioning your strikes and footwork. And it's all tied to body mechanics and technique to deliver a powerful strike. I enjoy both the 1:1 and group lessons. The instructors are all very patient and encouraging. The group is great and fun where get to practice with people of all shapes and sizes and you get to practice your learning from individual lessons with amazing people!
Linden started training with Sean (Arakan Martial Art Instructor) in March 2020. We thought it would benefit Linden to have one-on-one instruction as Linden is on the Autism Spectrum. Linden has been loving the training sessions and always looks forward to his class even when he does know it will mean an intense physical activity. We can see the difference - Linden's leaner, more alert, and has become more coordinated in his movements. Linden has been able to remain more focused and we can see how he follows Sean's instruction. Sean knows how to up the ante in challenging Linden to hold that plank a little longer or follow more difficult drills. We are definitely impressed by Sean's patience and expertise in teaching Arakan Martial Art to Linden. We look at continuing these training sessions with Sean to equip Linden with the necessary skills of power, focus and confidence.
Great open air location with real world distractions to help you focus on your training and not get distracted. So if you need your training in the real world you know how to not get distracted!
With Arakan I’m expressing myself artistically through movement and learning skills that are practical and adaptable in real situation.
The team at arakan are amazing they support and push you to where you need to be.
