Yes, we offer discounts for extended training periods, with fees adjusted based on your length of stay. Longer stays also provide the opportunity to advance to our Level 2 training, enabling deeper learning and further progression in the YogaMartial system.

Can I commute From Taipei Each Day?

Yes, daily commutes from Taipei are convenient. A regular bus runs every 15 minutes, dropping you off within a 10-minute walk of our training facility. Taxis are also readily available, costing approximately 200 NT (5 euros). For added convenience, we can arrange a direct pickup from the metro, just 15 minutes away.

What experience level do i need to have?

Everyone begins at Level 1, completing 10 mini-seminars to master the fundamentals of YogaMartial. Progression leads to Level 7, known as the Diamond Body—a state of mastery where body, mind, and spirit are fully refined. The number 7 symbolizes completion, transformation, and balance across traditions. It aligns with the 7 chakras, the 7-star stance in martial arts, and the Vajra (diamond) state in Buddhism. Achieving Level 7 means transcending technique to embody the essence of YogaMartial—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
