    School curriculum

    I was just curious as to what other schools require thier students to know for each belt/sash assuming they have a belt/sash system or at least for thier black belt. This is what I teach. Most of the things I learned were/are from my teacher (John Dufresne). Other things I learned from other teachers and decided it was worth while to teach. But I would like to state that all the people that I have learned from are either students of Dufresne's or of Grandmaster Wing Loc Ng.

    White belt: how not to get hit, thrown or submmited.
    Blue belt: How to hit, throw and submit.
    Brown belt: Catching bullets with teeth and disarming nude Russian female gymnastics team with "slithering Snake technique".
    Black Belt: Catching bullets with Gluteus Maximus and submitting Hawaiian tropic bikini team with the "anaconda choke".

    The rest is uber-secret, sorry.

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    I like brown belt requirements, I might have to include that in my curriculum. Do you teach the snake flickers its tongue technique?

    Of course, its an internal "Yin" technique, but very effective, of course the proper training partner is crucial, as such, our requirements for excepting students is very intense, case in point my newest student:
