The Senior Syllabus continues to develop your understanding and abilities within the Wing Chun system, and completes the Student Syllabus. As before, it is split into four components organised into a rotation system of three four-month terms. All Senior students train the same material together, but are expected to perform it at a grade-appropriate level by the end of the term.
– Student Grades: 9-12
– T-shirt Colour: Brown
Term 1: Starts January, Grading: May
Term 2: Starts May, Grading: September
Term 3: Starts September, Grading: December
Grading will be: Monday 29th April – Thursday 2nd May and Saturday 11th May
1. Form
The Form component focuses on the second Wing Chun form, Cham Kiu, along with applications for each section. It introduces new strategies and techniques, some of which were used in previous Self Defence components, but are developed more fully in the Senior grades.
– The Form component of the Senior syllabus is grade specific, and so is outside of the termly rotation system. Check out the Cham Kiu course for more details.
2. Chi Sau
The Chi Sau component continues from the Intermediate syllabus, looking to develop your attacking and defending abilities.
– The Chi Sau component of the Senior syllabus is grade specific, and so is outside of the termly rotation system. Check out the Senior Chi Sau course for more details.
3. Self Defence
The Self Defence component incorporates everything you’ve learnt so far to help you deal with more high energy and complex self defence scenarios.
– This term we are focusing on: Locks, Controls and Takedowns. Click here for details.
4. Theory
The Theory component is connected to the current Self Defence rotation, and focuses on deepening your understanding of the context, strategies, and other factors relating to it.
– This term we are focusing on: Locks, Controls and Takedowns. Click here for details.
Grade 12 is the last Revision Grade where you will demonstrate all the material from the whole Student Syllabus to a higher standard. Grade 12 also includes an even longer Pressure Test which takes different aspects from the syllabus and combines them with pad work in an exercise aimed at putting you and your Wing Chun under pressure.
You can find full details of the Senior syllabus on the Senior Syllabus Overview as well as a downloadable PDF version.
