Private Classes
Private classes or "Plastron" lessons are one of the the main ways to develop as a historical fencer. Many deep and specific principles can only be passed fully in Private or Semi-Private classes.

Plastron Lessons
The plastron refers to the chest protection the coach wears, they will be giving the student specific queues, triggers, and problems. The student gets to build up their flinch reactions to these triggers. This format gives the coach the ability to raise and lower difficulty, speed, timing, and distance on the fly to exactly what the student needs.

More Flexibilty
It depends on schedules, but private classes can be booked around regular classes and on weekends, but also mornings or midday on weekdays.

Consistancy
Whether public or private classes, the best way to improve is to be able to come consistently and improve. So if you can't make public classes for a while then some private classes are good to help fil that gap.
