Note - BAKG follows the Passions, Goals and Abilities of the Student. As such, an interview will be conducted before any training takes place, so the Instructor can gain an understanding for the needs of the Student.
Also, please take note of our Cancellation Policy at the bottom of this page.

Facilities:
Located in Oakland, about ten minutes walk from the Rockridge BART station, the BAKG Training Facility is a covered, open air space with anti-microbial puzzle-mat flooring. There are ample training apparatuses, as well as a wide array of tools and equipment to augment training, and any necessary additional safety equipment.

Options:
Training at the BAKG Facility takes two forms: Private 1-on1, or Small-Group format. Individual Training Sessions can be scheduled for 1-3 hours in length.  Students are expected to wear clothing appropriate for exercising in.The maximum number of students at one time is 6. Students are responsible for providing their own mouth-guard (mandatory), and any other basic body protection needed to train safely - such as groin protection or a knee brace. All other safety equipment is provided at the Facility.

Training is also available off-site. BAKG Instructor, Christopher Harley, will come to an agreed upon location to train Students, provided the training space is appropriate (ie - spacious and safe), and proper permission for its use is obtained. It is the responsibility of the Student to ensure both factors are addressed. The same clothing and protective equipment standards apply for off-site training. All other necessary equipment is provided.

Seminars are also available. Seminars are an excellent option for groups larger than 6, or for those who wish to pack a lot of training into one day. They are also excellent for groups of people who wish to train, but live far away. The maximum number of students in a Seminar is 20. The maximum number of training hours in one day for a Seminar is 6. The maximum number of days is 5. All Seminars require two weeks notice for scheduling.

Costs:
All training sessions are 2-for-1; that is to say, it costs the same for two people to train as it does for one. This is not the case for Seminars

• Private and Small-Group Sessions at the BAKG Facility = $40/hr
  
• Private and Small-Group Sessions Off-Site = $100/hr
  
• Seminars = Variable (Costs depend on number of Students, hours of training, number of days, distance and cost of travel, etc. Please Contact BAKG to discuss goals and options)

For established schools looking to supplement or enhance what they already provide, Christopher is always willing to share, as well as to learn. Direct trade of instruction is welcome, should there be interest. Otherwise, Christopher is happy to come teach at your school/facility at the BAKG On-Site Rate of $40/hr. For groups larger than 6 people, your school/facility will have to provide necessary training and safety equipment.

At present, BAKG only accepts Cash or Check.
Please make Checks Payable to Christopher Harley.
(We hope to have PayPal available soon for Credit Card transactions)
