TRAINING SESSIONS
FIRST SESSION IS FREE!

ADULTS (16yrs+)
£6 per student per session or you can take advantage of our monthly payment discount of 40 pounds per month (£4.62 a lesson).

YOUTHS (12 - 15yrs)
£5 per student per session or you can take advantage of our monthly payment discount of 35 pounds per month ( £4.03 a lesson).

My reasoning for the disparity in cost for youths and adults is that I do not feel youths will take on the amount of technical detail I pass on due to short attention spans and their need to ‘just get on with it’. I also do not feel comfortable teaching youths some of our techniques. Such techniques could potentially be used in a playground or amongst friends without them realising the effectivness of the self defence technique I have shown them, and could endanger them or others hence I will be witholding certain techniques from youths. With the not so indepth teaching and witholding of certain techniques I feel youths will not be receiving the same level and quality of tuition that my adults (16+) enjoy and so for this reason I am charging youths less. I can of course assure that I will give the same time to everyone no matter what age they are, it is simply ‘what’ I spend my time teaching that will differ.

MEMBERSHIP
The membership cost is 25 pounds once a year, every year. After a few classes you will be required to join the club officially which means becoming a member of our governing body for the following reasons:

Insurance:
Any club affiliated to and members of the Free Spirit Fist Federation are automatically covered by the annual membership.

Syllabus:
You will receive a syllabus from which you will be taught but it also contains many other useful terms, combinations, and ethics of our style.

License:
With membership you will receive a license which proves you are from a reputable art and also allows you to grade within our style.

UNIFORM:
You have the (recommended) option of paying and extra 18 pounds with your first membership payment which will allow you to receive WFSFF training t-shirt and kung fu trousers at vastly reduced price. The usual cost of a WFSFF t-shirt is 11 pounds and kung fu trousers are 15 so thats 11 pounds saved! The intention is to get everyone in uniform as cheaply and quickly as possible to maintain good presentation and professionalism and not to look like a keep fit class! :0)

Admin:
You actually generate much paperwork and admin costs per student so I must cover these also.

GRADINGS:
These happen formally roughly every 3 months in Southampton at our flagship club however you may be graded at the end of a class if there is no grading near or you cannot attend one. Each grading in Portsmouth costs 10 pounds which pays for the instructor’s professional time, certification, postage and registration of new grade with the WFSFF HQ, also you will be given a free sash if you are successful. You will be given active feedback on improvements to be made and key aspects to work on as an individual. You are not expected to grade every time, you will however be told when you are nearing grading standard and will be expected to grade, if we say you are ready, then you are.
