For students, I take ₹3000. There are x8 classes a month. ₹250 per class.
For non-students, I take ₹4000. There are x8 classes a month. ₹500 per class.
Each additional class is ₹500. The most classes I will give in a week is 4 and only 2 will be privates.
So, the most you can get from me is – from a fee of ₹8000 – x2 privates, x2 groups – x4 classes per week.
For NRIs, foreigners – the fee is equivalent to your country’s 100 note. Meaning, $100 for people from the US and £100 pounds from people from the UK. There is no negotiation that can occur here. The reason is the unnecessary headache/ lack of receptivity, respect, understanding that occurs here.
Each class is 1-1.5 hours long.
My fee is expensive compared to Karate or Judo or Taekwondo in Ahmedabad.
I neither give belts nor certificates. Master Chu Shong Tin did not and neither does the CST Alumni nor my Sifu. So, I don’t give it. If you want it, go elsewhere.
The fee is to show your dedication, sincerity, and genuineness. I don’t need anything from you. You need something from me. The most that you can give me is 1) money and 2) your time. But even your time is not valuable to me at this point in time. When you get much better at this art, then your time will be valuable. But currently, it is not.
People ask me why there aren’t classes every day if this amount – ₹3000-4000 – is being paid. That is because it is not on me to build you. You must practice and get ready for the next instruction. The biggest breakthroughs come from within, in solace. Not from me or with a group. You need to have the inner fire to work through things. I don’t mind finishing a 5-year curriculum in 2 years, but it never happens, as even talented people get stuck on the path.
I focus on the internal and external. I focus on building the structure, power, and internal understanding as quick as I can. This depends on you as a student, for it is your receptivity that decides the speed in which you learn.
I take 3 things seriously. Fee, practice, and communication. However, that is not the sequential order. The most important is communication. The second most important thing is practice. The last thing of importance is the fee.
Note: If you are having financial issues, you can contact me privately. But you must pay first month, full fee. This is so I can evaluate your genuineness and sincerity.
