Grade 12 is a Revision Grade where you will demonstrate all the material from the previous eleven grades to a higher standard. Grade 12 also includes a 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.
Once you become 16 you will be eligible to move up to the adults Wing Chun classes. You can check out details of the transition here.
