Grading
Traditionally Wing Chun does not have a grading system so, to give students a guide and a level to strive for the following grading system was devised, you can wear black kung fu pants/jogging pants with organisation t-shirt.
The Grading System
Siu Lim Tau | Level 1 | White Sash |
Level 2 | Red Sash | |
Level 3 | Yellow Sash | |
Chum Kiu | Level 1 | Orange Sash |
Level 2 | Green Sash | |
Level 3 | Blue Sash | |
Biu Jee | Level 1 | Purple Sash |
Level 2 | Brown Sash | |
Level 3 | —–Black–Red–Sash—- | |
Muk Yan Jong | Black Sash – 1 Bar | |
Lok Dim Boon Kwan | Black Sash – 2 Bars | |
Baat Cham Dao | Black Sash – 3 Bars |
The online course testing requirements for each level is can be found here
Grades from white to purple can be achieved in 3 months per grade if the student trains hard, beyond that a higher level of training is needed so beyond purple a minimum of 6 months to 1 year is required to reach brown and beyond.
Gradings for all levels have to be approved by myself and 1 or more members of the grading committee who are listed here there can be no exceptions to this rule regardless of your training level.
You should also remember that although you may have finished the formal part of the system this is only the beginning of longer, life long journey, a man who has said he has learned it all is truly cheating himself.
