GRADING SYSTEM
Our new grading system has been implemented to provide a clear structure within the club, and to demonstrate the pathway students must follow to make progress within the sport.
The China Spirit UK grading system is in line with grading system of the European Wushu Federation and equivalent with the traditional Chinese Grading system for Wushu.
There will be opportunities for students to undertake formal grading examinations at various times throughout the year, and to receive certificates of achievement. Undertaking formal grading will allow students to progress both within the club and within the sport of Shaolin Kung Fu (Wushu).
