£6 / class
but if you buy two a week, you get the third free
so thats about £44 a month (weeks not calender)
£85 a month is too much,
but less than £40 a month and i’d be wondering how good the instruction is.
I charge £5 a lesson which i think is pretty reasonable, and my prices aint gone up in 2.5 years
I teach three times a week, and so on paper in a month youd be paying £90 a month if you attended every class.
I do however provide certain perks for the club. Unlike some schools who provide zilch apart from the class itself, I provide the following:
Certificate after every assessment and membership book on joining
3 workshops mimum a year with myself
at leat 2 seminars a year at our club with my Sifu, Samuel Kwok
Guest instructors at least once a year
training trips , next year were off to Canada to train with Eric Li, and the year after to Hong Kong train at Si-Gung Ip Chings School
dummy , pole, knives at the class
seminar / syllabus videos
private tuition
discounted supplies
discount for OAP’s or if your genuinely struggling for cash
website
club socials
Because of this, our club is really friendly and close knit and the hard work has paid off. Because the students feel ‘ownership’ of the class they dont tolerate fools gladly.
Personally i feel students get a good deal, and a recent questionnaire i gave out came back really positive, except people wanted a wider range of club merchandise !!
Im certainly not aiming to increase my prices unless overheads were to take a massive jump
