Before you come

How old does my child need to be?

Eight. That is the minimum student age, and it applies to every class.

What should I wear to a first class?

Loose clothing you can move in. Ask about a uniform once you know you want to keep training.

Is there a contract?

No. Avoiding contracts is one of the five rules the school runs on. Tuition is monthly and you can stop whenever you like.
