Grading System

Grandmaster Jim Fung's Wing Chun Kung Fu® is taught through a unique sequence of four 'Grades' and six 'Levels' encompassing the entire Wing Chun Kung Fu system. We've designed this system to progressively enhance students' self-defence skills and confidence through practical scenario-based training, pad work, and controlled sparring.

We divide our Wing Chun classes into small groups according to the Grade or Level of students, and follow a structured curriculum that builds on the concepts and skills taught in previous weeks. Our curriculum is constantly refined to ensure the most efficient and highest quality outcomes for our students.

Grandmaster Jim Fung's Wing Chun Kung Fu® is exclusive to the International Wing Chun Academy and its Affiliated Schools.

Wing Chun Gradings

Gradings involve the assessment of four core techniques from the student's current Grade, and are held frequently at convenient times and locations.

On average, a student who trains twice a week can reach Grade 2 in about two months and Level 1 (our black-belt equivalent) in about one and a half to two years.
