BOOK A TRIAL CLASS

New to the world Silver Sabres? Before you or your child can enrol as a full student in one of our weekly classes, and purchase one of our membership plans, participants will first need to attend one of our Trial Classes. This class is for us to take people through the early foundations ground work, and get all of the safety protocols out of the way. It also gives participants the chance to have a go at wielding a sabre before committing to a membership plan. You can read more about our available plans on the Membership Plans tab.

 

Trial Classes are available throughout the month, and at locations which have spaces available. We have three class types to choose from; Adult for ages 15+ only, Mixed for ages 7-Adult, and Kids classes for ages 7-14 only. Please only book a session suitable for your age group. I’m afraid we cannot accommodate anyone younger than 7.

 

The price for the Trial Class is £20 per person. This will later be credited back to anyone who purchases a membership plan, making the Trial Class free for those who join us after!*

 

*The £20 Trial Class fee will only be credited against new memberships purchased within three weeks of the Trial Class taking place. A discount code will be provided in an email after the Trial Class has been attended, which can be entered at checkout while purchasing a membership plan. Concessionary rates are not applicable to the Trial Class.

Booking a Trial Class is super easy, simply click on the button below which will take you to our live class schedule. If the class type you want isn’t listed as a Trial Class, it means that class is currently full, and you’ll need to choose another time/location.

 

Before you start; all of our Trial Classes are highlighted in RED with the words ‘Trial Class @ Location’, and they appear at £20 per class. All of the BLUE sessions in the schedule are rolling membership classes for current students, that require a membership plan to book, just ignore those. Only go for RED

IN-CLASS PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS

45 Minutes – £50

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.

 

Sessions are held at the Wu Shi Taiji Studio in Finsbury Park. Please email us at info@silver-sabres.com, to enquire about in-class private tuition, and to 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.
