&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;Can I come along and just watch?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes of course - any time except Tuesday Nights as this is a closed door class for Senior Students.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;Which is the best night to come along and train?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We ask all students on their first night to come along on either a Monday or a Wednesday Night?&amp;nbsp; After that any class&amp;nbsp; is fine (except Tuesdays).&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/timetable/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;This link will take you to our timetable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;What should I wear?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Loose comfortable clothing that you are free to move around in.&amp;nbsp; A towel and a water bottle are also a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;How much does it cost?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our fees structures are on our webpage - &lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/training-fees/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;This link will take you there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;Does it matter if I have / haven&apos;t trained in Martial Arts before?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No - not at all - we are interested in sharing our passion in Wing Chun with whoever is interested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080;&quot;&gt;How big are the classse?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most classes range from 5 to 15 students with an individual instructor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
