The attainment of each level is achieved by the student upon his successful learning and passing the examination as set by IWCI on both the ‘Theory’ and ‘Practice’ for the specific Level. The ‘Theory’ and ‘Practice’ parts of each level are designed by the IWCI Headquarters to cover appropriately the contents and skills to be learned by the student in relation to the components of ‘Form’, ‘Solo Exercises’, ‘Two Men Exercises’, ‘Chi Sao’, and ‘Lut Sao Sparring’ of the respective level.
