What you will actually pay on day one
Cloud Forest is a private club. Every student pays a small yearly club membership, $20 for one person or $50 for a family, once a year. It is folded into your first checkout so there is nothing to add later. Pick a plan and the receipt does the math.
Partner programs, student and public-service rates, and the Online Academy are on the full pricing page.
Our school
A private training hall, not a fitness chain
Cloud Forest has taught Chinese martial arts in Greensboro since 1969. Today it is the American home of the Wei Family system, a complete tradition that runs from Emperor's Long Fist and Natural Fist kung fu through Tai Chi, Xing Yi, Bagua, combat jujitsu, and the internal methods most schools never reach.
We run as a private club on purpose. Classes stay small enough that every student is known by name and watched on the floor. Beginners are welcome in every adult class, and nobody is thrown into sparring before they are ready.
“Every student enters through the door that calls to them. All of them end up training the same complete system.”

“Cloud Forest changed my life. The discipline, the community, the skill: nothing else compares.”
“My kids have more confidence, better focus in school, and they actually look forward to training every week.”
“I trained at three other schools before finding Cloud Forest. This is the real deal: authentic lineage, serious instruction.”

How to start
Three steps, and the first one is free
Book a free visit
Pick any class on the schedule, sign the visitor waiver online, and show up ten minutes early in comfortable clothes. No payment, no pressure.
Take the class
You train, not watch. The instructor pairs you with a senior student and keeps you inside your limits. Kids' parents can sit floor-side.
Start for $49
If it fits, enroll online in about two minutes or at the front desk. Month to month from there, with 30 days' notice to stop.
Questions
The things people call to ask
Do I need any experience?
No. Most people walk in with none. Every adult class takes beginners, and kids start in age-grouped classes built for first-timers.
Is there a contract?
No. Membership is month to month. To stop, give 30 days' notice and payments end after that month. There are no refunds or prorating, so time your notice with your billing date.
What is the yearly club fee?
Cloud Forest is a private membership club. Every student pays $20 a year, or $50 for a family, on the day they enroll and once a year after. It is already included in the first checkout amounts shown on the pricing page.
Can my kid and I train on the same night?
Yes. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday all have a kids class at 5 or 5:45 PM followed by adult classes from 6:30 PM. The family plan covers everyone for $200 a month.
Can family members take different programs?
Within the Wei Family classes, yes, one family tuition covers all of them. Partner programs like Goju Ryu or Wing Chun are billed separately by their instructors.
Where do I park and what do I wear?
719 W Gate City Blvd, inside the Gate City Business Center. Park on the left side of the building. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, bring water, and shoes come off at the mat.
Is the Online Academy included?
Yes, for on-campus students. Every active student training at the school gets the full Online Academy library and the Hercules AI fitness coach at no extra charge. Online-only students subscribe for $34 a month.
