Regular Membership
$100/month*
When someone begins to truly love these arts and to desire to learn as much as possible, to feel respect and gratitude to our ancestors in gongfu for having passed these arts down to us and to have a sense of desiring to part of the chain of transmission it is appropriate to make a firmer commitment both to their own practice and to the health and well fare of the community within which the arts are available. This is the meaning of this level of membership.
Gives access to all regular classes, including regular Qigong and Neigong, but excluding youth classes, special seminars and events, and fixed-length courses like Jingluo Qigong.
*NATSTA membership is required after the first month of class.
NATSTA (North American Tang Shou Tao) membership
$100/year (annual fee)
At the Montreal Gongfu Research Center, we are part of a gongfu family. The practice and cultivation of gongfu that is available here in Montreal is only possible because we are part of a larger community spread out across the globe. We are guided by Vince Black and by our teachers living in China, and we benefit regularly from interactions with other schools practicing the same method as we do. Because of this, joining the North American Tang Shou Tao Association is required of anyone wishing to study at the Center (the exception being the morning Qigong classes which are offered as a community service), in order to support the work of the Association in making these arts available to us.
NATSTA members receive a biannual newsletter, are welcome to attend events such as the annual national conference in the United States and regional seminars, as well as being eligible to attend special events such as trips to train in China. You also get a t-shirt.
