How to get a discount at Song Jiang Wushu School
Yes, you can get a discount if you go to Song Jiang with
a friend or in a group, you want to live in a room with another student
or speak very
good chinese. Discounts are very unusual for Song Jiang
and its very difficult to get one. Li Chen is responsible for all the
foreigners
who
visit the school and if you want a discount, he will have to go to the
headmaster to ask him personally.
Keep in mind that if you
get a discount, money will be saved somewhere.

- The school will safe some money if 2 foreigners
live in one room.
So if you are going to Song Jiang with a friend and want to live
in one room, you can ask for a discount between 500 and 900 Yuan
each. If they don't want to lower the price, you can demand 2 separate
rooms. However, you can't expect a discount if you don't ask in advance
and if the answer is "maybe", you can count on a "NO".
! Ask in advance !
- Let's say you want to live in a room with chinese
students - a 12 student dorm.
First of all, they don't want you to live in a room with chinese students,
because the living conditions are very poor and they only want good reputation.
Secondly
you
would
never
be
able
to go
on a private toilet. I mean the chinese toilet rooms don't have doors and there
are only hip high walls in-between the cabins. You could only shower a few
times per week - and if you are unlucky only once.
Another problem would be
finding a safe place for your credit cards and your passport.
You have no idea
how fast
personal things can disappear in a room with 12 chinese students. Anyway, if
you are willing to live in these conditions, speak chinese
or
look
chinese,
there
is
a
chance
they
will
allow
you
to live in such a room.
! Ask in advance !
- If you plan to stay for a long time, you can ask them to split
you school fee into school fee,
room and food. This way you could try to save some money by living
outside the school or by eating cheaper.
- If you speak fluent chinese or look asian, it should be no problem
to get a discount, but you have to know that for less money, you
will get less service.
Advice: How to get a discount
- If you want a discount, ask in advance and
explain your situation.
- Learn as much chinese as possible before you go to China.
You could go to another wushu school at any time.
Going to a wushu school in China is like making business.
Don't pay in advance and let them understand that you could leave
at any moment if you are not fully satisfied. That's not just an
advice for this wushu school, but for all schools and everything
you do in China.
- If they don't wanna give you what you want,
stay friendly and go to another school.
For example Cao Zhou Wushu School ( only 90 minutes from Yun Cheng
) or one of the schools in Deng Feng - Shaolin.
They will have to understand that there is something called "Competition".
- Don't pay more than one month in advance.
- Whenever you want something, and the answer
is: "I will ask the
leaders tomorrow", insist on a NOW and accompany Mr. Li Chen
to the headmasters office. Stay friendly, but let them know that
you
are ready to leave at any moment.
