10 Successful Student Gradings: Fantastic Effort By All

On Saturday 18th April, at Shaolin Warrior Martial Arts, Wollongong 10 Students put themselves to the test and successfully grade to their next level.


Starting with Level 1 Wu Yi - Shao Quan


There were four girls from the Saturday morning under 13 years Kids Kung Fu Class grading their Level 1 Wu Yi form "Shao Quan".

Imola, Lela, Sofia, and Natalia all performing very well in their traditional Shaolin Kung Fu Form and application of the form for self-defence. Very proud of these 4 girls, keep up the great work.

Next, with Level 3 Wu Yi - Tan Tui Quan


No level 2 students grading this time. Instead we had David and Mark performing their level 3 Wu Yi "Tan Tui Quan" traditional Shaolin Kung Fu form along with the extensive list of applications (combinations". I Was very impressed with the power and technique development of David and Mark as they have evolved from their level two to level three.

3rd Grading of the day, Level 4 Wu Yi - Er Lew Quan


Evan was the only person to grade Level 4 Wu Yi "Er Lew Quan". This is number 4 of the 5 in the Buddha Fist series, the foundational forms for our lineage of Shaolin Kung Fu.

Evan was amazing in the this grading both in the power of his application and the performance of this form. Well done Evan.

Last Grading of the day, Level 1 Tai Chi - Yang Style 24


The grading day completed with 3 students grading Level 1 Tai Chi Yang Style 24 (short form). Quite a change of pace after the kung fu gradings. Challenge for students is to manage their nervous system, control their breath, and stay centred. Also remember all the moves during this 2.5 minute form.

Bryan, Michelle and Crystal were incredible. They all showed excellent proficiency, pace and precision. Well done all of you.
