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!

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.
