Uniform Code

All students should own a traditional, complete uniform (jacket and pants). The full uniform is always appropriate for class and is required for the following events:

• Evaluations and Promotions
• Formal Seminars
• Sigung visits (unless indicated otherwise by Sigung).
• Public Demonstrations

During regular class training sessions, students should wear uniform pants or black workout pants / shorts, and a Dojo t-shirt or plain, black t-shirt. Uniform jackets may be worn, but are not required for regular class training sessions. If acquired, your rank sash must be worn and visible during regular class training sessions.

If a situation occurs in which you are unable to attend class in proper uniform, you are still encouraged to attend class; however, your sash should not be worn.

Students should be in footwear that meets the instructor’s approval for cleanliness and safety and must be appropriate for the training area.

Uniforms may be purchased through the “Shop” portion of the website or by paying Chad or Juanita directly. The YMCA does not collect money outside of membership dues or other applicable YMCA-offered services (such as massage and personal training). Uniforms purchased through other sources should be approved by Chad or Juanita before being worn in class or other events in which you represent the dojo.

Sash Rank

All students start with no sash (unless awarded a sash from a recognized lineage Wing Chun school). If a sash has been obtained from a different Wing Chun school, the practitioner will be asked to evaluate at that level before permission to wear their rank sash will be granted while in regular class training or events in which they are representing Dojo Danville.

Dojo Danville Sash Rank Progression is as follows:

— No Sash —

White Sash

Yellow Sash

Orange Sash

Purple Sash

Blue Sash

Green Sash

Brown Sash

Red Sash

Black Sash

Sashes are to be worn on the right hip until System Completion is achieved. Once System Completion is achieved, the practitioner’s black sash should be worn on the left hip.

Students are allowed to purchase sparring gear and participate in sparring training upon receiving their Yellow Sash ranking. Students are encouraged to participate in sparring training at the Orange Sash rank and beyond if they intend to advance in rank.
