Teachers Program

Like the Practitioner Program, the Teachers Program focuses on giving individuals a solid foundation in traditional Chinese martial arts including traditional empty-hand forms, weapons, conditioning exercises, bag work, meditation, as well as practical applications of the art for self-defense. The program also includes learning the 18 Lo Han Qi Gong and herbal medicine concepts for wellness.

The Teachers Program pushes students further in their practice—they will learn more complicated forms, spar regularly, have the opportunity to train with national & international masters, travel to represent the school during competitions, act as mentors for less-experienced students, and eventually learn to lead the class as teachers. They will, most importantly, become lineage holders.

Members of the Teachers Program are the top-tiered, most devoted students in the school. The full program takes at least 7 years to complete.
