Re: wing chun level?

Kelly,<br><br>Good question.<br><br>This depends
very much on the school.<br><br>In China they say that
belts are for holding your trousers up! In the West
however students like to feel that they are progressing
and this is measured by the colour of their
sash.<br><br>Normally the Wing Chun syllabus is based around the three
main forms Sil Nim Tao, Chum Kiu and Bill Tze, so you
are either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd form student.<br><br>How
long it takes again depends on the school, our academy
expects a student to reach black standard within 4
years.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Steve.
