Sunday December 11, 2016 was a big day for Bendigo students with Nick and Sonya both completing their Level 2 gradings with great skill and endeavor earning a bar to their Orange sash. Ryan also showed his level of commitment to learning the Intermediate skills of Wing Chun by completing his Level 5 grading and earned a Blue Sash.

I'm extremely proud of the commitment shown by Bendigo students and their desire to progress in their knowledge and skills in Shaolin Wing Chun Kung Fu.

These students are truly reaping the benefits of healthy exercise and learning an ancient traditional Chinese martial art at the same time.

One of the great benefits of gradings with our Melbourne brothers and sisters is the social aspect of making new friends with who we share a common interest.

It was a great day and I was fortunate to also complete my Level 10 grading which has been a long time in the making, but is really just another step in the journey.

On behalf of all our students in Bendigo, I would like to thank Sifu Linda and Sigung Garry Baniecki for their continued and generous support.
