The Academy\’s  grading system forms a structure of development which allows the student to understand a broader picture of their own potential development and where they are at in their journey.

 

Structure

 

The syllabus is split into 10 levels and each level builds on the previous one progressively. Upon joining the academy, the student is given an overview of the 10 levels in order to understand the requirements for their development.

 

Requirements

 

For each discipline, the student is expected to have a minimum of 100 contact training sessions of at least one hour each, with an authorized instructor for each level of training.

 

For students training in multiple disciplines, (eg – Bagua Zhang & Xing Yi), some exceptions are possible for levels 1 to 3 where there may be an overlap of the basic skills that are required for each of the disciplines.
Students have the option to have their skills formally assessed but this is solely for their own satisfaction and does not give seniority over students who have chosen not to be assessed.

 

Once a student has completed the required training for level 3, they are encouraged to begin assisting in teaching and by the time they have completed the requirements of level 5, students should be confident in running their own classes. For students embarking upon our teacher training programs and/or those students wanting to set up their own classes upon completing the requirements of level 5, assessments  are mandatory.
In addition, there is also a possibility to undertake internationally recognized ‘Duan Wei’ gradings in accordance with the Chinese Wushu Association.

 

There are nine grades in total with the 9th Duan Wei being the highest. The Academy can help you prepare for these assessments in all the arts that we offer.
