“I think Zijian's lesson was pretty helpful overall, especially how he explained everything in pickleball clearly. Though I’d like to see a bit more focus on different techniques next time, I feel like I’ve gained a better understanding of the game. His approach really emphasizes the key concepts, which is quite helpful for someone like me. Anyway, it’s worth trying out if you're looking to get a solid grasp of the basics without overloading on details.”
