How to join
If you’d like to know more before making the commitment, come and see us, give us a call, or send us an email. You can also find out more by going to our approach, or reading some testimonials.
Most people like to watch a class before signing up, and you would be welcome at any of our advertised sessions. If you’d like to have a chat with the instructor before a class then it’s useful to arrive 15mins before the start.
If we have given you sufficient information you are welcome to enrol on your first visit. We accept cash or cheque (sorry no credit/debit cards), and you will need to complete a short enrolment, insurance and standing order form. Please bring suitable clothes (sweat pants, t-shirt) just in case we don’t have your size uniform in stock.

Please Note:
Classes are scheduled regularly throughout the year; students chose the most appropriate payment/attendance plan to suit their circumstances, and pay by standing order.
Please note that the Academy will be closed on bank holidays and for approximately 20 working days each year.
There may be times when you do not attend classes. In this instance, as with a gym membership, your payment plan would remain fixed. If you wish to stop attending classes altogether however, you are under no contract, and may cancel your standing order and membership at any point – out of courtesy though, please just let me know!
A student who terminates his/her membership will need to re-register to resume training. Absence for more than 2 years requires re-testing from white belt level.
Class times
Please note that Ki Meditation and Hapkido sessions are separate classes.
Testing and special events
Master Chang tests students for new belts/ranks three times per year. In addition to this, we run an annual intensive weekend in September, special seminars and master classes throughout the year, and an annual field trip to Master Chang’s main school in Chicago over the Easter period.
Joining the school is also a great way to meet people; and we have social events throughout the year.
