Grading
Traditionally, coloured belt and sashes were not present in martial art schools. They are a representation of the blood, sweat and struggle that the practitioner goes through to attain his or her skill.
In the Bayou Wing Chun Club, grades of students are represented by the colour of their T-shirts there are only 3 levels; Beginners, Intermediate and Advance.
Black for beginners, Grey for intermediates and White for advance practitioners. The sash is used in the advanced levels to support the training of the practitioners and to contain their dantian energy in place, i.e. not allowing it to sink.
