FAQ: Why do Wing Chun Teachers charge so much money for their training (compared to other styles)? |
Honestly, I have met highly-qualified teachers that taught me for free....yes for “free”, but the majority didn't. Some earn their bread with Kung Fu, others don't have to, but i certainly don't regard earning money for a living as a shameful activity unless it has been earned in a deceitful or dishonest way. That it costs 'something' or 'nothing' has nothing to do and should have nothing to do with the quality or value of the Kung Fu taught. Good Kung Fu is valuable, Bad Kung Fu simply isn’t. Paying one million dollars for a diamond or 1 dollar, it all depends on the vendor and the buyer - pure politics.
If money is the prerequisite for the said teacher and I have it, I will gladly pay it - IF IT'S WORTH IT. As for me, all "I" ever wanted is to get to the source as fast as i can, as unpolitical i can, as smooth as i can....so as to benefit "as soon as I can" .... therefore I decided to do everything possible to reach my goals. I will not allow money matters or poltitics to stand between me and my goal.

If I can acquire a useful skill that I can apply in life and that can never be taken away from me until the end of my days (unlike a car, tennis racket or golf membership) and therefore becomes my family treasure and heir - wonderful! |

If it lets me save my energy and my precious time so as to reach my goals faster by not wasting the time of students with useless activities that are just designed to keep the students paying, entertained or satisfied. If it incorporates a way to handle negative energies that have a negative impact on my mind and my physical body. Negative energies could be the stresses of daily life, burdens or even appear in physical forms. If it enables me to project my inner potentials. |

If my training has the ability to develop the "unknown" and understanding for the "unknown". |
|
|
If it can empower me to recognize the dynamics of a situation. |

If my training will
enable to let me reap even a single one of the following beneficial
"side-effects":
|
"To laugh often and love much; to win the
respect of intelligent persons and affection of children; to earn the
approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give on's self, to leave
the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with
exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived -
that is to have succeeded."
(R.W.Emerson)
