Which plan suits you?
The best value depends on how often you train. Here’s how the monthly cost of each option compares at one, two and three classes a week.
Pay as you goBasic member + class packsGold member
What a month of in-venue classes costs on each plan, averaged over a year (52 weeks ÷ 12 = 4.33 weeks a month). The Basic figure includes the £90 fee spread across 12 months, with classes paid by class pack. Gold becomes the cheapest option at 3 classes a week.
Good to know
- Foundation firstEveryone attends Foundation, senior students included. New to Taiji? Start with Foundation, the 19 Form and Qigong. Already practise Chen Taiji? You can join other levels as well — ask Shifu Liu which forms suit you.
- Book in advanceClasses have limited places. Book on the website — payment in person is not accepted.
- In venue or onlineMany classes run in the hall and on Zoom. Pack credits and Gold cover both.
- Packs expireClass-pack credits last 120 days from purchase.
“Everyone must attend the foundation class. Without a solid foundation, no matter how well you perform the forms, it is like building a castle in the air — it will collapse as soon as a strong wind blows.”
