'Next Level Wing Chun Grading Syllabus'

 

The 'Next Level Wing Chun' Grading Syllabus is now complete and consists of 7 Levels in total based around the stepping stone method of the Wing Chun forms - 6 forms - 6 main levels with supplementary pracice drills and exercises to represent each level.
Grading is highly recommended as a developmental guideline for the student on the path of Wing Chun and following the Level 1 grading which requires at least 6 months of regular study - Level's will be a minimum of one training year apart with consistant hard work, correct attitude and attendence in class required to qualify for each grading.

The level following number 6 is the 'Next Level Wing Chun' Master grade in which all of the Wing Chun forms must be demonstrated to a high standard and understanding along with Blindfolded Chi Sau and Advanced Street Applications and can only be taken a minimum of 2 years following the successful completion of Level 6 - the Baat Jaam Dao (eight slashing knives form)

With diligent practice a talented, dedicated student will be able to complete the 'Next Level Wing Chun' system in around 8 years - although many may take much longer - it is not the desination but the journey that is important.

If you are a current student and wish to have a copy of the grading syllabus for your information please ask me in class.

The first grading date will be released shortly.

Chinese New Year - 2010 - Year of the Tiger

 

Sunday 14th February marks the start of this years Chinese New Year celebrations which run all week...an auspiscious one for us as a club as it also marks the first time we have celebrated this annual event under the 'Next Level Wing Chun' banner.

As our class runs on a Sunday I propose to teach this weeks lesson with an hours emphasis on 'Street Applications of Wing Chun' and the 2nd hour on the skills of 'Chi Sau' or sticking hands, Wing Chun's unique sensitivity training exercise and the ideas behind the practice.
We can also discuss a mutually agreeable date to hold a social event out of class hours to enjoy a Chinese meal in a local restaurant to further celebrate the new year.

I look forward to seeing you all in class.
