Note

This intensive kungfu course is meant for instructors or those with at least three years of kungfu experience. Beginners who wish to take the course must work extra hard to compensate for their lack of experience.

While results can be felt during the course itself, lasting effects and of a high standard can be obtained only if the students continue practicing what they have learnt, for at least a few months, if not years.

No one can be proficient in kungfu by merely attaining an intensive course. The purpose of the course is to provide students with fundamental skills and techniques; subsequent diligent practice is necessary.
