OUR BEGINNER MEMBERSHIP PLANS

Welcome, seeker of sword skills! Before you can enrol as a full weekly student, and purchase a membership plan, you will first need to attend one of our Trial Classes. Hit the 'Book a Trial Class' button below to view our upcoming sessions and to book yourself on.


OUR OPEN-PLAN MEMBERSHIPS

Our memberships are now on an open-plan system, which offers new students the freedom to attend a Foundations or Mixed Level class at any location, on any available day, space permitting. This gives flexibility to your training, and works around your own availability on any given week.

 

After attending a Trial Class, simply choose a plan that offers 1, 2, or 3 classes per week, and that chosen plan will give you access to book onto any class(es) within your chosen plan’s limit and training level, across 4 weeks.

 

Our plans bill on the 1st of every month on a rolling subscription, and cover the month of classes ahead. There’s no minimum term with us, you simply pay for the month ahead, so you have the freedom to cancel or switch plans at the end of any month.

 

We offer a concessionary discount of £15 off against our open-plan in-class memberships, for the following qualifying individuals; Under 18’s; Seniors; Students (NUS registered); Public Sector Workers (NHS, Teachers, Fire Service, Police & Armed Forces); Unemployed, or low waged (earning under £16k per annum).

Online Sessions (not PT)

 

Using techniques and movements from our martial syllabus, this is a fun HIIT programme you will never forget! No subscription required, as this is a pay-per-class drop-in session that follows a quarterly-updated routine. Focusing on developing the stamina and anaerobic fitness required for competition and display fighting. A good base level of cardio fitness is recommended due to the high impact nature of the class.

 

New students who are not already training within our class environments will first need to complete an Online Induction Session, to gain a basic understanding of our movements and sword terminology before joining the cardio classes. Email us for more details and to book yourself in for an induction.


OUR CLASS TYPES & WHAT THEY MEAN

FOUNDATIONS (LEVELS 1-2)
Explores Levels 1+2 of our Syllabus. A Foundations class is suitable for all new students starting out on their training journey, or those simply reinforcing their Level 1+2 content. Introducing a vocabulary of basic cuts, wields, and steps, these classes begin the journey through the foundations of the Syllabus, exploring coordination and movement with Taiji based form and breath work.

 

MIXED (LEVELS 1-3)
Mixed classes allow Foundations and Intermediate students to work together. With the exact same content as Foundations, these classes explore the basic cuts, wields and footwork needed to build a solid understanding of sword technology for beginners. And for those in Level 3 there’s a focus on a deeper vocabulary of cuts and footwork, alongside sparring techniques taught in the Intermediate classes.

INTERMEDIATE (LEVELS 3-4)
Suitable for students who are exploring Levels 3+4 and have qualified for arena combat. This class helps develop a wider vocabulary of cuts, wields, defences, and footwork in weekly drills and partner work. With a deeper focus on sparring techniques, form, and flow.

 

ADVANCED (LEVEL 5+)
For those at Level 5+, this class reinforces techniques covered in Foundations and Intermediate classes, plus exploring advanced combat strategies and spontaneous display fighting for events. With an added focus on teaching skills to help develop students interested in becoming a Silver Sabres Instructor.

PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS

IN CLASS – 45 MINS – £50

ONLINE – 30 MINS – £30

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.

In-class sessions are held at the Wu Shi Taiji Studio in Finsbury Park. Online sessions are held via Zoom.

 

Please email us at info@silver-sabres.com, to enquire about private tuition bookings, and discuss available time slots.

 

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.
