By comparison, if you can afford to buy two or three coffees each week, then you can easily afford to train with FWTS Kung-Fu. 🙂
Taster Session (Group Class)
- One trial group class session, with no obligation to continue.
- Includes temporary insurance.
If you want to get a feel for our training, our teaching, and the great people who study with us, simply book a taster class and come train with us one evening.
Spaces are limited, so please do not turn up without booking. Make a request using the button below, and we will find a mutually convenient date.
Taster Session (Private Lesson)
- One trial private lesson, with no obligation to continue.
- Includes temporary insurance.
If you would prefer a one-on-one session, or are unable to attend evening classes, simply book a taster private lesson instead.
This environment allows us to work at your own pace, answer any questions you may have, and go into as much detail as needed. The appointment can usually be arranged to suit your needs.
Membership + Insurance
- Required for all students.
- Covers all armed + unarmed training activities.
A valid annual membership ensures that every student under our instruction is fully covered by both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance, up to a maximum of £5,000,000 liability. We are insured for all unarmed training and the use of all hand weapons.
If you choose to continue training after the completion of any taster sessions, you will need to purchase membership & insurance before attending your next session.
Memberships become due for renewal every April, and cannot be cancelled or refunded mid-year due to the terms of our insurance underwriter.
Group Classes (Pay-Monthly)
- Requires membership + insurance..
- No minimum contract – cancel anytime.
A single monthly payment is the simplest and most popular way to pay for tuiton. One access fee lets you attend all group classes, and covers the costs involved in keeping them going. You will receive an invoice each month, which can be settled by debit / credit card, PayPal, or cash if you prefer.
Many students choose to pay monthly via Standing Order. Unlike a Direct Debit, a standing order is simply an instruction to your bank to pay a fixed amount on a fixed date each month. It can be cancelled at any time, and there is no risk.
If you wish to set up a standing order for your monthly tuition, please use the following details:
- Bank: HSBC UK
- Account Holder: Mr Lee Paul Heron
- Account Type: Business
- Sort Code: 40-34-24
- Account Number: 4139 6676
- Amount: £45
- Frequency: 1st of every month, until further notice.
Group Classes (Pay-Per-Session)
- Requires membership + insurance..
- No minimum contract – cancel anytime.
Some students want to learn, but circumstances do not allow them to attend classes every single week. For them, PAYG is a useful option. Simply pay £15 in cash at the start of each group class you can attend.
Private Tuition
- Requires membership + insurance..
- No minimum contract – cancel anytime.
Our head instructor has been studying martial arts since 1989, has taught professionally since 1999, and holds high instructor ranks in multiple disciplines. We offer one-on-one, two-on-one, or small-group private lessons, and we teach in a private space which is easily accessible. If group classes are not for you, then regular private tuition might be the best option instead.
