Course Levels

Our Association follows the Chinese system, which has three levels and nine degrees.
A 初层 Chū céng - Basic Level
    In this level, you develop precision and accuracy in body techniques, hand movements, and
    footwork.
    By studying and practicing forms, movement patterns, and rules, techniques become
    precise and effective, transitioning from unnatural use to a natural application of form and
    strength.
B 中层 Zhōng céng - Intermediate Level
    In this level, you learn to borrow the opponent's strength and create Qi, responding to changes
    by opening and closing, lifting and lowering, gathering and dispersing.
    This skill sets Qi in motion throughout the body, allowing for technique changes and
    overwhelming the opponent.
C 高层 Gāo Céng - Advanced Level
    In this level, you enhance your reactivity and ability to sense and adapt to the situation.
    Change aids in combat; combat involves change.
    The fighter is like water, without fixed positions; methods are not rigid, but without method,
    fighting is impossible.

Guidelines to Follow

Enrolling in and attending one of our courses also means being part of the “International Longzhao Association.”
There are no duties or membership fees, but it requires seriousness and consistency, as our Association aims to train well-prepared instructors out of respect for our Chinese Masters.
For this purpose, online and in-person students must:
      1. Attend courses with passion and train consistently.
      2. At the end of each Level, submit a video of yourself for evaluation, and possible
          issuance of a Qualification Diploma valid for three years.
      3. On common occasions of the Association, conform your image wearing the uniform
          of the Association.
      4. Subsequently, you can choose to become a Branch School and "Teacher Training Center"
          of our Association.
          In this case, an annual seminar will be organized with Shifu Zanetti, in your own area.
