Syllabus & Grading Wing Chun

An instructor under the association can grade a student up to assistant instructor level. In order to be a full instructor under the association, Grandmaster Samuel Kwok must approve the appointment and will be responsible for any final testing of the candidate.

Seminars and Gradings

If your school operates a grading system you will be expected to take grades regularly. You can decide who is ready. Gradings can be at 3 – 6 month intervals or down to the discretion of the senior instructor. If you are teaching regularly this rewards a student’s natural progression as you should always attempt to constantly improve their abilities and knowledge of Ip Man Wing Chun.

 
Your school may or may not host an annual seminar with Grandmaster Kwok, if it does please publicize as much as possible. Seminars offer an excellent opportunity to meet various instructors and other students, as well as invaluable instruction from Grandmaster Kwok himself.
If your club does not host a seminar you will be encouraged to attend one nearest to you.
Your commitment to the association, and your club, and to showing respect for Grandmaster Kwok should enable you to attend at least 1 seminar per year. If you are fortunate enough to have the means you can attend seminars in other countries to show your support of the worldwide network, sharing experiences, making new friends, and building long-lasting friendships with people from all over the world is what sets our association above many others.
We thank you all for your support!
