Basic Vocabulary
Even though this school has a long history with many traditions and customs that it still follows avidly, the majority of members will never train outside of Australia. With this in mind we use very limited Chinese vocabulary in our normal training classes, preferring to explain the training and teachings of our system in English so that the students and instructors can fully comprehend their meanings. This does not deviate in any way from our cultural heritage as the students and instructors have a clearer understanding of the school, its heritage and its goals.
