Lessons are typically one hour long, but your instructor can also accommodate lessons of different lengths.
Similar to a career or profession our instructors have tens of thousands of hours invested towards practicing and perfecting their Jiu Jitsu. This means they have been training their body to both feel and perform elite level Jiu Jitsu, which is something that can't be replicated by videos or many other players. Because Jits takes two people to practice, you’re not only paying for your instructor’s expertise, but you’re also renting their highly specialized and tuned equipment - their body.
Regular participation in classes and having lots of varied training partners is essential to getting good at Jiu Jitsu. However, because of their size and pace, classes often miss the important details and context you need to be effective during live sparring and competition. Private lessons help you focus on the exact details you need to perfect your Jiu Jitsu.
Videos are great for learning the details and context of a technique, but ultimately videos can never replace 1:1 hands-on instruction because videos can’t transmit how a technique feels. For instance, a video can’t tell you when a grip is too loose to be useful, where or how to tighten it up, or recognize and help you troubleshoot it in real time during sparring. Only a hands-on instructor with a lot of experience can do that.
