Setup (Upplägg 建立)

• Since WCAA is an academy then it is education-driven i.e. not training driven, it is based on the 3 learning foundation consisting of:
  1. Theory Studies and Sharing
  2. Collaborative lesson and exercises
  3. Daily Individual Training
  for approach Student-Driven Learning (SDL) with self-leadership via Collaborative Experience Sharing (CES) which is similar to the method Experience Learning Description (ELD) by using our internal Web content and forum. This means for example that you are actively engaged in our group during the lesson and have the initiative to write and share on what has been learned and experienced after every lesson.
• Since our lineage is applying traditional Wing Chun pedagogic with an academic approach, we have therefore expectations of the student/practitioners e.g. we have a family team participation approach for collaborative sharing and openness.
• The educations are divided into Practitioners (Beginners) group and Instructor group program. Request for joint the Instructor group program can be selected in the application form, WCAA will then during the first term do a subsequent assessment on your motivation and progress.
• The education is combined with distance learning service with home studies/training.
• The outdoor environment is used since Wing Chun KungFu is environment independent and was originally trained at outdoor. Outdoor locations are under the roof with 3 sidewalls.
• Why having outdoor training in nature: Clean air is important for wellness, mind focusing to overcome comfort and Wing Chun as be able to be used as self-defense in Swedish outdoor environments.
• Theoretical lessons will be done remotely online under normal lesson time.
• If only one beginner comes to the lesson then the lesson will be canceled for avoiding private lessons.
