To achieve the coveted black shirt, which set the more advanced and experienced students of WingChun apart, there are special requirements to guarantee the high quality standard of the IAW. Therefore, to test in the upper level is only allowed to those who regularly, at least 2 times a week, attend WingChun instruction. This consistent participation (for the past 2 years) must be confirmed by the responsible instructor before any examination. Furthermore, before any subsequent test, a screening by the training instructor must be passed. The preliminary examination (Pre-Test) evaluates both the current program and all programs of previous levels.

Checklist before the 9 Student Level Test and higher graduations

1. Attend classes regularly for the past 2 years (to be confirmed in your Pre-Test).
2. Learn and practice the Combat Programs (training is offered quarterly).
3. Pre-Test with your training instructor (at least 4 weeks before the Test).
4. Acquire weapon combat abilities:
