FAQs
Do I need any prior martial arts experience or be fit?
Not at all. A significant portion of our clients are complete beginners. Every session is delivered 1:1 or 1:2, allowing us to build your technique, coordination, and conditioning at a pace comfortable for you—with zero pressure or ego.
What happens in the introductory session?
The 60-minute session begins with a brief discussion about your experience, goals and what you'd like to get from training. We'll then work through some practical coaching tailored to your starting point, giving you an opportunity to experience the Zanshin Precision approach first-hand. There's no obligation to continue with regular coaching afterwards.
What should I bring?
Wear comfortable training clothing and bring water. Boxing gloves and training equipment can be provided where required. If you already have your own gloves or equipment, you're welcome to bring them.
Where are the private sessions held?
Sessions are primarily held at a private studio at GymPods Dalston, Dekker House, Dalston Square, E8 3FS. The studio provides a dedicated environment for private 1:1 and 1:2 coaching, away from the crowds and atmosphere of a conventional commercial gym. Private residential and selected client-location sessions are also available.
What makes Zanshin Precision different from a commercial martial arts gym?
We eliminate the crowds, noise, and intimidation of traditional dojos and commercial gyms. Sessions take place in a private, confidential studio setting where you receive 100% focused instruction tailored specifically to your goals and schedule.
Can I train with a friend, partner, or colleague?
Yes. We offer 1:2 Partnered Sessions, allowing two participants to train together at a shared rate while still receiving individual technique adjustments and structured padwork.
How do I book my first session?
If you're new to Zanshin Precision, the simplest place to start is with the £35 Introductory Coaching Session. You can request availability through the Private Inquiry page, or contact Mark directly via WhatsApp. We'll discuss your experience, goals and availability before confirming your session.
How much does private coaching cost?
1:1 private coaching is £70 per session, while 1:2 partnered coaching is £90 per session. Private residential coaching starts from £85 depending on location and travel requirements. If you're new to Zanshin Precision, you can begin with a 60-minute Introductory Coaching Session for £35.
What is your policy on scheduling and cancellations?
We understand our clients have demanding professional and personal schedules. We ask for 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a session without penalty so we can accommodate other inquiries.
