FAQ
Q: I'm interested in becoming a student at USWA, how do I enroll?
A: Although, it is not a requirement, we recommend that interested students come visit one of our academies to observe a class. In order to enroll, you must come to either one of our academies, (we recommend that you go to the one that you plan on going to the most) and request for a student enrollment application. After filling out the application form, you can then begin to take the four trail lessons for $89.95. Once you have completed the four trail lessons, you will talk to one of our head coaches to determine which class option will best fit your interests and skill level.
Q: What is the minimum age for a student? What is the maximum?
A: The recommended age for young children is 5 to 6 years old. We will accept young children as students if they are able to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively. There however is no maximum age to train in wushu or taiji.
