Is This Right for You?
This coaching is right for you if:
- You have never played table tennis before
- You feel nervous joining clubs or large group classes
- You want clear explanations, not just "play more"
- You are a parent looking for calm, structured coaching for your child
This may not be the right fit if:
- You are mainly looking for sparring or match-only sessions
- You prefer unstructured, play-only training
- You are specifically looking for large group or club-style programs
Beginner-First Coaching Philosophy
Most people do not quit table tennis because it is too hard. They quit because they start in the wrong environment.
At HJ Ping Pong, coaching is designed specifically for beginners, focusing on confidence, fundamentals, and understanding before speed or competition.
There is no rush, no comparison, and no pressure to keep up.
How I Coach
Sessions focus on clear explanation, real-time feedback, and physical understanding — helping beginners turn theory into confident, achievable progress.
- Breaking techniques into clear, understandable details
- Explaining why each movement matters
- Providing real-time feedback during practice
Instead of simply rallying or playing alongside students, each session is guided step by step, with small adjustments to grip, timing, body position, and movement made as they happen.
Many coaches are experienced players, but not every session style is designed for absolute beginners. Here, the goal is clarity and confidence first.
Clear explanation. Real-time guidance. No guessing.

| Technique detail | General guidance | Step-by-step breakdown |
| During practice | Mainly rallying | Real-time reminders |
| Feedback timing | After the session | As movements happen |
| Learning style | "Copy and feel" | Understand and practise |
| Beginner support | Varies by coach | Designed for beginners |
