Flying Tortoise Information
Our studio has 2 tiers of participation: Tier 1 is the drop in classes. You can join these any time, and take time off as needed without getting charged. They are primarily taught by our student teachers. Tier 2 classes require students to register for the quarter and purchase a membership. They are faster moving classes taught by our Senior Teachers.
New Student Promo: 10 hours of free of Capoeira and Fundamentals classes over 60 days.
Pricing: We offer punch cards and a la carte for tier 1 classes: Fundamentals classes and Capoeira. Membership gives you access to tier 2 classes taught by the Senior Teachers that have fixed matriculation dates.
Instructors: These are their pithy and informative bios.

Q&A
Q: Can my kids under 13 attend the Kung Fu classes?
A: Short answer is not currently, we do offer a wonderful Capoeira Kids program that is perfect for the younger folk burdened by an excess of the wiggles.
Q: Do you offer belts? My pants don’t fit real well, I’ve been thinking of some sort of pants support device but am not super comfortable with shopping.
A: Brazilian JiuJitsu, being based on a Japanese martial system has belts and Capoeira has an analogous Cord ranking system. in Northern Chinese martial arts colorful achievement cloths are not so much a thing. But we do have spiffy “Achievement Stickers” for completing various levels of our “Schools Curriculum.”
Q: Can I have a fancy ninja suit with shiny ninja pants?
A: Absolutely, but School uniforms consist of a really nice school shirt that students are asked to purchase and wear after a month of training.
Q: If I challenge a senior instructor to a death match with my sick katana do we use Highlander rules or Kill Bill Volume 1 rules?
A: Neither, we have a codified Kung Fu Rules and Norms Handbook that does not allow sick katana duels but does cover how we operate.
