BOOK AN INTRODUCTION SESSION

New to the world Silver Sabres? Before you can enrol as a full student and purchase one of our memberships plan, you will first need to attend one of our Introduction Sessions. This session is for us to take you through the early foundations ground work, and get all of the safety protocols out of the way, before we mix you in with the masses.

 

It also gives you the chance to have a go at wielding a sabre before committing to a full month of classes. Just in case it turns out that you don’t actually like it, we promise that you will love it, but it’s always worth taking a test drive first!

 

Introduction Sessions are available throughout the month, both online and at our three in-person locations. The price for the session is £20 per person. This will later be credited back to anyone who purchases a membership plan, making the Introduction Session free!*

 

*£20 Introduction Session fee will only be credited against new memberships purchased within two weeks of the session taking place. Credit is applied to the student’s Silver Sabre membership account upon purchase of a membership, and will be automatically debited against their second month’s subscription payment. Concessionary rates are not applicable to the introduction session.

HELLO THERE! YOU’VE CAUGHT US IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME REDECORATING, AND WE’RE CURRENTLY CHANGING OUR BOOKING SYSTEM TO A NEW PROVIDER. DURING THIS CHANGE WE ARE UNABLE TO TAKE ON NEW INTRO BOOKINGS. PLEASE CHECK BACK ON 1ST JUNE, WHEN THE NEW SYSTEM WILL BE LIVE AND READY TO ROLL. WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED!

FOUNDATIONS ONLINE PATH

£30 per month, adult

MONDAYS, 8.30-9.30PM

 

This subscription includes access to the Foundations Online session on Monday evening’s, covering Levels 1-2 content in the comfort of your own home. Suitable for those who are unable to reach an in-class session, and our in-class students who wish to add additional depth to their training while at home.

 

It is worth noting that fully understanding the art of the sword requires regular in-person one-on-one combat. Should you choose to study only online, you will be removing a chunk of the syllabus from your training. Therefore, students who study exclusively in the online programme will be doing so on the understanding that they will not be considered for any Tournament, or Events Team participation, due to the omission of in-class partner training. The ability to demonstrate an understanding of correct technique and fight safety with a partner is absolutely paramount for the teams in our academy.

PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS

ONLINE – 30 MINUTES – £30
IN-CLASS – 45 MINUTES – £50


ONLINE AND IN-CLASS PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS WITH OUR HEAD INSTRUCTOR, FAISAL.

 

We get it, not everyone can follow along in a group class, and we find that a private session is far more rewarding for some individuals. Because of this, personal training sessions will be available for students who would like to go over any technical aspect they may like some extra help with, or for those who are struggling to pick up details in a group class setting.

 

Fees for personal training sessions are additional to any current plan that a student may be subscribed to, either in-class and/or online. These sessions are exempt from concessionary discounts.
