What Are the Fees and What Does the Starter Kit Include at Wing Chun by Sifu Chow?

Updated

Wing Chun by Sifu Chow charges a monthly fee for classes at its New York City location and a separate one-time starter kit fee. The site lists the monthly fee as $99 for the NYC location, though a separate section also states $90 monthly — so confirm the current amount by email before you commit. The starter kit is a one-time $100 purchase. A free trial class is available to everyone, and no credit card is needed to start.
