I started training with my school here about two months ago. W ehave been doing a set regimen for the entire time, warmups, SLT, dan chi and rooting, then switch partners. The others in my clas shave been doing this for about 5 months, is this a reaasonable time before moving on do you think?

The important thing is to get a solid foundation. Knowing a small amount of stuff really well is much more valuable than learning a lot of stuff too quickly. 5 months isn't long, so don't worry about moving on too fast.

Two months? No.

Five months? Perhaps. It depends on the student and what the
Sifu there holds as a standard before moving on. If the Sifu wants
you to have a general familiarity with these things, then yeah, I
could see moving on. If the Sifu wants you to pretty much have
it down, then no.

I've been learning Wing Chun for about 2.5 years and I'm still
working on Dan Chi and rooting. There's a lot there to work on.
