Class Fees

Membership

Membership is paid yearly at £50 per year (£25 for under 16s) and is payable after you have trained for four weeks, after which time you will have a good idea whether this proven traditional southern fighting style of kung fu is right for you. Membership not only contributes towards school equipment e.g. pads, weapons etc and allowing the school to maintain this website, and arrange events for members, but also includes these individual benefits:

Official school t-shirt with school logo, and option to take gradings, and attend training seminars etc at reduced rates.

Training Seminars

In addition to class lessons regular seminars are held throughout the year, these typically last 2.5-3hrs and focus on specific areas of the system e.g. weapons. This offers students the opportunity to spend considerably more time on a specific area, and enhance their learning and skills in that specific area.  Please note that seminars usually have restricted numbers, so early booking is advisable. Details of forthcoming seminars can be found on the notice board.

Private Tuition

These lessons are on a one to one basis. You can train at your home, workplace or designated venue. They last 1-1.15hrs and are extremely beneficial for those that want to excel with their training. This type of one to one training is entirely tailored to the students ability and specific needs.

In general private tuition can be easily scheduled throughout the week or at weekends.

If you regularly attend class lessons and want a quick boost on specific techniques or a new form, you can schedule a one-time private lesson to give you a boost.

Cost    £50 per hour

Fees for tuition are for training only, and do not cover travel to your location, if it is outside the Essex area or any venue hire. For availability, please either call Sifu Franklyn on 07717 467184 or email: chowgarkungfu1@btinternet.com
