• Trial Lesson: We recommend you try any of the acitivities offered by our Center, by coming to 1 FREE Trial Class.

• TaiChi and ChiKong are ancient Chinese arts which aim to heal the body and prevent illnesses by way of gentle movements, correct breathing and mental focus.

• The Martial Arts taught in the classes are Classical Ving Tsun Kung Fu and TaiChi, which includes both self-defense and attack techniques. Therefore as it is impossible to practice this art without physical contact between partners, it is inevitable that accidents will occur from time to time. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to listen carefully to the trainer and to obey his orders precisely, in order to minimise such occurrences. The trainer therefore, takes no responsibility for any damage or injury or death to students due to state of health and/or any other reason.

• Medical Suitability: It is the responsibility of the student to provide medical documentation confirming good health, and absence of any diseases or situations, which may prevent him/her from doing various exercises or movements. Medical Documents are to be provided annually and may be requested by the trainer at any time. In any event the responsibility for the health and safety of the student is upon the student himself. The student must know what he is physically able or not able to do. If a movement or exercise is not suitable, or feels inappropriate for the student, the student must report it immediately to the trainer.

• Injuries: The student must report any damage or injury and if they are not feeling well to the trainer

• Holidays: There will be no classes on: School holidays, Jewish national and religious holiday and Fast days, except July and August.

• Payment: Price is per calendar month, payable in advance at the beginning of every month regardless of the number of classes that may exist during the month.

• Discounts are available if you register for the whole year - meaning September until end of August, and are only available for registrations between September - October. If a student wishes to be released from the year committment, s/he will have to pay the difference between the discounted price and the regular monthly fee for all previous months until September / month of joining the class.

At present the cost of such a uniform is 50 nis for printed T-Shirt + 150 for training trunks. Sport shoes should be purchased individually without metal pieces attached to them.

• Belts will be provided to Martial Art students after passing the relevant grading test. The price of the first belt is included as part of the graduation test fees.
