Wing Chun International Oxford

I attended classes for 2 years, I enjoyed each one of them. It was my first approach to martial arts and I liked it a lot. Leaving the town, but I will check where I can go ahead, I'm grateful to the Sifu and the other trainees for what I've learnt! Ps: the Sifu is just great with kids: I've seen her interacting with some of them, and they had both fun and life skills training!

My daughter is on the 'little dragons' programme. It's quite inconvenient for us to travel to Oxford twice a week, but 10 months later we're all happy and think it's worth it! Sifu Datze is full of energy and excellent at engaging the younger children. She teaches them kung-fu and helps them with their life skills. Highly recommended..

I really don't like giving negative reviews but I feel I have no choice here. If I was to review it before 2021 it would be better rating but after what happened I cannot. If you want a short version scroll to the bottom. My two sons were going to lessons in Oxford for about 12 months until end of February 2021. We paid 35 for little dragon and 50 for junior warrior. During lockdown when the sessions were online we were allowed to pay reduced price of 50 per month instead of 85 in total. Our junior warrior was enjoying it, especially that he could train in the same session as his class mate. In fact his class mate was one of the main reasons he was keen to try it in the first place. Unfortuntely it didn't last long :( The first red flag occured when after joining the online sessions in January 2021 it turns out our junior warrior was split out from the rest of his group and put together with the little dragons. It made him feel worse than the others who he used to train with before. It was bad for him but we decided to continue as it's only temporary until offline lessons resume. Two months later in March 2021 we decided to stop training until offline training is back. In April 2021 offline training was allowed again so we were happy to return (after one month break in March) Then the second red flag occurred... We were given new prices increased from 85 to 115 per month excluding grading fees (50 for little dragons and 65 for juniors) This is depiste knowing that their friends were allowed to continue on old prices. When asked about why do we have to pay more for the same thing than others it was because we are returning customers and we were paying discounted prices during lockdown. Furthermore up to today (until I pointed that out) the products/training prices here were showing old prices. At the time of writing this review the new prices specified here are apparently for the new customers only for the first 6 months. It doesn't even say what are the prices after that. Apparently we as the returning customers are not new customers and are also not allowed to pay old prices. Regardless as teacher said she has no interest of taking back my sons for training because she was unhappy that we were paying discounted price during lockdown which she allowed us in the first place. This is not they way to treat loyal returning customers. For comparison if you get a voucher or discount in the restaurant you shouldn't be getting worse meal of worse treatment later and that is what happened here. Now the short version - the main things I am not happy about: 1. Splitting my son out of his usual junior warriors training group and putting him in sessions with little kids. Leaving him feeling worse than others. 2. Asking us as returning customers to pay more than others for the same thing out of personal grief. Not only more than old customers but also more than new customers as it doesn't say what the price will be after 6 months. Unless we were to pay for 2+ years of training in advance in which case we would get 20% discount. Signing up young kids for long periods is difficult because they can easy change their minds. Totally unfair to me.
