CURRICULUM

Wu Tang's teaching style emphasizes structured learning so that students can build upon what they have already learned.

Depending upon the program you choose, you will learn according to the curriculums below.

Generally, there is no necessary order in which one must learn the forms which we teach. In fact, our program is designed to be flexible, so that students can begin at any time. Most forms within a tier are interchangeable, so that any one student need only learn 2 or 3 forms from each program (A,B, or C) to move on to the next program.
