What you get
Lessons will be conducted in air-conditioned rooms (Shifu has confirmed that it’s fine as long as we don’t stand directly under the air vents). A few portions may be conducted outdoors because of space or other constraints.
Classes will be kept small so that each participant will have more personal attention from Guo Shifu. Lessons will be conducted in Mandarin Chinese, with on-the-spot translation to English by one of Shifu’s students.
On top of the lessons themselves, participants in the small classes will also receive the following:
1. DVDs of your seminar sessions
2. Drinking water during the seminars
Discount
In total, there are 36 hours of lessons over 13 sessions. These cost SGD 750 in total. However, participants who sign up for all sessions will be given a SGD 150 discount: final fee is SGD 600. As well, participants who successfully complete the entire series will receive a certificate of participation.
Participants from outside Singapore
If you need help getting a hotel, I'd be happy to pick a couple for you to choose from.
