All newcomers are
welcomed into the beginners group for a compulsory 12 lesson introductory
course, during which time they are taught the basics. There is no uniform or
formal training clothing required; training or jogging trousers, a plain
t-shirt/sweatshirt and training shoes (and a desire to learn) are all that is
needed.
Over the
introductory period, beginners are taught the basics whilst having the
opportunity to watch 12 typical lessons, ask questions about all and any
aspects of the Wing Chun system, the Sifu (teacher), the classes etc.. At the
end of the introductory course newcomers can decide whether they wish to apply
to join the Y.W.C.K..
However during that
same 12 lesson introductory period the newcomer is the subject of a
psychological and physical assessment by the Sifu (teacher) who will listen to
the questions asked, review their attendances and punctuality, note the
beginner's respect (or lack of it) and assess their attitude and suitability.
At the end of the introductory course the Sifu will decide whether to invite
and accept the applicant as a member, student and ambassador to the school.
"We teach by
selection and invitation only, we offer authentic Wing Chun taught in the
traditional manner. We set and expect the highest standards, teaching only
respectful, disciplined and dedicated martial artists, who train hard with the
correct mental attitude"
