Formal Academic Grading
Do you want to be graded just like my students - and receive a certificate? I'll help you with that!
Just schedule a video conference and I'll use the same grading rubric I use at my school to assess your skills, and will also send you a PDF report. With your score of 50% or greater you will be eligible to purchase a sash of the appropriate color and official certificate from Wai's Kung Fu.
Note
- This course and the information in it represents the most recent services and supersedes all other offers
- This is not an instructor certification course. Ving Tsun is a style that requires sensitivity and reaction training. It's not possible to reach the highest levels without a partner and extensive coaching from a certified instructor, even though the lessons taught here are the same as those taught to the instructors. Therefore, the academic certification offered here is a recreational certificate for people who want to gain the benefits of ving tsun but not be certified to teach. This is not a teaching certification course. To be certified to teach, it's necessary to attend classes at a certified branch school and be tested in person by a certified instructor.
