SHADOW CLAW MODULES

Here’s the overall Shadow Claw Kung Fu © school breakdown:

There will be 5 modules, each building on the one(s) before it.  They are Shadow Mantis, Shadow Snake, Shadow Eagle, Shadow Tiger and Shadow Dragon.  While one’s progress is very individual, I expect each module to take 1-1.5 years, at the end of which you will be awarded an expert belt or sash.  As these are very advanced technique, you may view this first module as equivalent to Brown-Black belt level and once you complete Shadow Dragon, that would be equivalent to 2nd-3rd degree karate belt or Sifu level.  You are eligible to instruct other students in any one module once you have demonstrated expertise in it and moved on to the more advanced one. 

It is also important to note that while I have Shadow Mantis as the first module, it is also the most fundamental as the techniques you learn here will be utilized in much of what we do later on.  Expertise in any one animal form is still expertise and one may later choose to use that form as their primary form.
