"The lesson was quite helpful, and I appreciated the focus on specific strokes. Though, I think it would be great to see a bit more emphasis on footwork in future lessons. Still, I’m hopeful Bahman can build on this progress soon.

"Martin's patience really stood out to me, and I appreciated the helpful feedback on my serve. We started with some good warm up and then went over flat and kick serves which I’ve been struggling. The feedback he gave immediately improved my feel of the flat serve. He’s a chill dude and fun to work with. I'd suggest giving Martin a shot if you're looking to improve your tennis skills gently and thoughtfully.
