Membership & payment
Tariff Is Not Rank#
This is about how you pay — it has nothing to do with rank progression.
| Parameter | Junior tier | Senior tier |
|---|---|---|
| Who | Occasional, irregular guests | Those training regularly |
| Payment (single visit) | 240 Kč / session | 120 Kč / session |
| Condition | At least 1 session a month | 4+ sessions every month |
| Standard subscription (up to 4/month) | 910 Kč | 455 Kč |
| Unlimited subscription (3+/week) | 2,870 Kč | 1,435 Kč |
| 3-month subscription (90 days) | 8,235 Kč | 4,120 Kč |
Subscriptions include free weapon rental (swords, axes, spears, bows). Armour (cuirass, helmet) rents separately. Valid 30 days from payment (quarterly — 90 days), refund only before activation. First person to buy the quarterly subscription in the current cycle gets a handmade weapon as a gift. Standard is specific days, not a walk-in-whenever pass — you tell the coach in advance which of the Mon/Thu/Sat sessions you'll attend that cycle.
Starter Package (Junior tier) — for those training 2×/week or more who haven't yet reached Senior status.
| Package | Price | Per session |
|---|---|---|
| 10 lekcí | 2,300 Kč | 230 Kč |
| 20 lekcí | 4,200 Kč | 210 Kč |
Weapon rental included. Valid 4 months from purchase. Buying a package doesn't grant Senior status on its own — that still requires 4+ sessions in a calendar month; once reached, renew at Senior rates.
Senior tier is a status you reconfirm every month, not a one-time threshold. If you stop keeping up 4+ sessions a month, you automatically drop back to Junior tier and the 240 Kč/session rate. Rank doesn't reset.
Your first training costs 120 Kč — a chance to get to know the club. Before it, we'll always ask: are you planning to train regularly going forward (a subscription from 455 Kč/month, or 120–240 Kč per visit), or is this a one-off try out of curiosity? It's not a test — it just lets the coach pick the right format from the start, so nobody's time gets wasted.
Payment
How Payment Works#
- Registration and payment must be completed at least 48 hours before the start of training, via Revolut: revolut.me/aliaksj5pq.
- Payment later than 48 hours before, or on the day — a 25% surcharge on the session price.
- Need to borrow/rent club gear (weapons, armour)? Tell us at least 48 hours before training, same as payment. Later — the same 25% surcharge on the session price.
- Payment (including any late surcharge) must be received before the training starts — without it, you won't be admitted to that session.
- Training takes place only if at least one participant has a paid session (including a first-time trial) or an active subscription. If no one qualifies — the session is cancelled.

Rank
The Member's Path#
Rank tracks accumulated progress based on attendance and bringing people in. Each rank grants a specific colored bracelet, awarded in person and announced out loud at the end of training.
| Rank | Bracelet | Threshold | Perk |
|---|---|---|---|
| I — Recruit (Otrok) | No bracelet | Showed up to a training | Basic access. At your very first training you can try any weapon in the club. |
| II — Warrior (Ratník) | Red | 8 sessions | Priority booking on club trips + 5% discount on custom craft/repair. |
| III — Veteran (Veterán) | Blue | 20 sessions + 2 battles | A pin badge · priority choice of sparring partner in free rounds · access to the special trip "Battle Under the Mountain" + 10% discount. |
| IV — Champion (Vítěz) | Orange | 40 sessions + 5 battles | Priority access to the club's best/newest gear + 15% discount. |
| V — Warlord (Tisícník) | Black with a gold thread | 100 sessions, 1+ year tenure, 10 battles | Runs trainings independently when the head trainer is away + 20% discount. |
The sparring-partner priority (Rank III) only applies in free rounds.
Weapon access by rank
| First training (once) | You can try any weapon in the club — a two-handed sword, spear, bow, crossbow — under the trainer's guidance. |
| Regular training | One-handed swords, bow and crossbow — unrestricted, at any rank. |
| From Rank III (Veteran) | Training opens up for long/two-handed weapons (140cm+), spear, and the pike. |
Brought in someone who stayed for 4+ trainings? +5 sessions are credited to your rank count.
Renting advanced gear
The club offers rental of advanced historical weapons and armor.
Rental doesn't override rank restrictions — training with long/two-handed weapons still requires Rank III.
Craft & repair discount
The discount in the rank table above applies only to custom-made gear and repairs.
Rank IV & V privileges
| Private lesson | from 700 Kč; from Rank IV: first one each month is free, the second is 200 Kč. |
| Council of the Druzhina | From Rank IV: a small group discussing the club's direction. |
| Special trip "Battle Under the Mountain" | From Rank III: higher-risk format. |
| A named weapon | Rank V: on first reaching Warlord — a personal weapon (materials cost only). |
The moment of recognition
Rank upgrades are announced out loud at the end of training with bracelet delivery.
Rank III (Veteran) marks your acceptance into the core foundation of the club.
