Are there contracts? No, I do not require payment contracts; if you do not wish to practice, I do not want you feeling stuck while wasting my time.
Can I come see a class? At CSA we offer martial arts instruction in a personalized environment. Appointments are required to ensure individual attention for each student. I offer an Introductory lesson upon registration and first month sign up reach out to start this conversation.
What payment methods do you accept? Cash is king, for convenience you may use PayPal. Note: I do not use credit or debit cards and I do not provide change.
Do You teach children? Generally, we teach adults and teens age (15+). I do not wish to be a babysitter. Youth ages 10-14 would require parental participation.
Is your school Co-Ed? Although it’s not a set in stone rule, we are primarily a men’s training hall.
Do I need to be an athlete? No. You do not need to be an athlete or have experience to get involved. You do need to want to be an athlete and have personal discipline and intelligence in-order to achieve success. There is little reason to wait if your goals are to ever be achieved.
Do you spar? Yes, we offer contact training. For the martial arts, sparring is a part of the natural process. Sparring will be introduced through a scaffolding of drills and exercises.
What time is class? Classes are held in the evenings during the week and on Saturdays-respectively. Private lessons are scheduled accordingly.
How long is each class? Average group lessons range from 1 to 2 hours pending on the days activities.
Are there uniform requirements? No, there is no codified uniform to purchase or belts to collect. You are responsible for using personal protective equipment such as cup and mouth guard.
You may want to invest in sparring gear such as shin guards etc . Other than that, you may dress comfortably albeit appropriate. Bare foot or Low profile martial art shoes may be worn once approved for use.
We do have some brand merch available at times.
How Long until I get my black belt, I want to be a teacher? I do not have that answer. To learn martial art to the high degree takes a great deal of self determination and discipline. You will need to devote your time and energy to both intellectual study and physical training and do this consistently for time. You will need to establish yourself as above and beyond the average student. Not everyone who trains will receive a black sash and/or earn an endorsement to teach. These are high honors and will take great effort to achieve. If you train once per week in the wuguan and not at all during the week you will get the appropriate results. Do the math. Be honest with your goals and habits. Be ok with where you are at in your studies or be more active in practice. Time will tell the rest.
Do you offer any discounts? Overall our rates are very modest and I do not require payment contracts to enroll; this alone makes CSA a budget friendly investment, however; Family discounts and referral incentives are available; also if you pay for the year up front you will receive (4) four 1:1 sessions to schedule at your convenience.
Active members will save on private lessons and in-house workshops/seminars.
If you are sincere but require financial assistance I may be willing to work something out pending qualification details. Feel free to discuss this with me in private.
