Fees and membership

The first class is free, then £15 per class for aspirants (beginners). Participants purchase their individual insurance separately, and the annual costs are around £35 (we can make recommendations on where to purchase if necessary). Aspirants are not expected to purchase any equipment at this stage. You only need indoor shoes and a water bottle.

After around 3-4 months of training, you can become a student member of the Academy. Requirements for student membership:

Λ Enrolment fee (a one-off payment of £150) upon becoming a member: this fee is used to fund a welcome pack (uniform, training sword, etc)

Λ Academy membership fee (£50 paid monthly): student members pay a monthly fee instead of the £15 per class for aspirants

Λ Hoplite panoply (personal equipment and training tools): you will build your panoply over time as you progress through the grades, so you don’t have to buy everything at once
