分级和腰带 Grading & Belt System |
Traditionally, Chinese
Martial arts never used a grading or belt system (neither did any of the other martial arts styles).
The student used to study in the school until the Teacher
says he is ready to teach himself, this could be years
and years. This has unfortunately made things difficult
as there has not been a standard method of testing and
some nasty teachers have taken advantage of that system,
to keep students back from teaching and thus preventing
them from opening schools and thus "stealing students".As time modernises things many Chinese schools have followed the method of setting a standard and when a student can, by method of test, pass that standard he is then awarded a belt and certificate signifying he is on a certain level. This is a great method as it uses a planned and thus tested standard, and when teaching in groups it is also easier for instructors to help students when he can quickly see what level the student is on. It is also a good system as the student used to do kungfu till his master says move on, and now he has a goal written down and standardised, a belt and certificate which is a great motivator. Not the best motivator as students should study the art because they want to develop as people, not get awards, but as we are human, belt and certificate motivators WORK, whether we like the system or not. Even the Chinese Governing bodies now "grade" the students into 9 different catergories and issue certificates for this and that. So Ming Kung Fu has adopted this Belt System and has seen how it motivates students. Grading is not compulsory, and if you are dead against belts and certificates, donate the belt and burn the certificate, as when a student is on a certain level of skill, a belt and a certificate will not make a difference, it merely is a marker, a nice goal oriented and clearly defined marker. The belt system has also worked well with the western method of teaching and study, which is plan and strategise goals and objectives, as to the traditional system of stand in the class and do over and over until oneday you might get it right.
We offer GRADING in the TRADITIONAL GRADING as well as Competitive SPORT Wushu Kungfu.

READ: About Class...
Absolute Beginners to Professional or Athletic Champions. We teach the average person to become a kungfu expert, if you are "The Average Person" or someone crazy and different, we can teach you
Kungfu teaches balance, mentally and physically, so if you are quiet or fearful you will become bold and energetic, or if you have too much energy and need to be toned down, kungfu is also for you. Confidence and mental strength is the best skill learnt. But obviously the standard skills of kungfu like Body Movement, Weapon Handling, Self Defence and Meditation are first basic skills learnt. No army type exercises like push ups etc, as all fitness comes from the traditional kungfu exercises.
Kungfu classes are there to teach you to become stronger so each student from a child to a 50 year old can study KungFu and you will only progress at the speed that you want fast or slow. We look after our students and teach you to defend yourself, in the manner that suits you, for example if you are 60 years old you may not want to roll around on the floor grappling, and if you are in your prime years you will probably want to grapple and take on the world, so you attend the class of your choice and progress at your speed.
READ: What To Expect...
All our Belt & Certificate Gradings are done when the student is ready, which means if you work hard you can grade quicker and at any level that you are ready for. For example if you have never graded before or have done kungfu at another school, you might not want to grade at white belt, as you might want to grade at a higher level first. We allow you to grade at any level you are ready for as long as you have the skills to pass that examination. This suits people that may be teaching kungfu and are not qualified and would like to gain a Certificate, or students that work very hard on their own, and thus progress faster.
READ: Our Syllabus...
Kungfu classes are a minimum of 2 Hours a week, Starting at R 130 per month or R 200 per month, depending on what classes you take..
