Private Lessons
Students ages 6+ may study privately with CBA faculty for a customized training program. Private lessons are a great option for many reasons: reviewing the basics, learning terminology of the ABT curriculum for class placement, analyzing alignment or strength imbalances, working on mastering certain skills, and especially for students wishing to advance at an accelerated pace.

| 30 Minute Lesson | $75 per Lesson |
| 45 Minute Lesson | $85 per Lesson |
