Longevity Qigong and Shaolin Kung Fu for Health - Level 1 - Exam

This exam is only available to students who have done the Zoom Masterclass. 

We are required to charge sale’s tax for EU and UK citizens for all sales through the website. If you’d prefer not to pay sale’s tax, please email with your name and address for the invoice. We’ll send you an invoice and you can pay via bank transfer.

Please note there has been an extension until October 3rd 2022. Please make sure you thoroughly know the movements. The exam will take about 45 minutes. Each person will have a private Zoom session with Shifu Yan Lei. They will go through each section to demonstrate they have good stamina, flexibility and know the Qigong movements. Shifu may also ask for a demonstration of the Instant Health massage so have your bamboo brush with you. 

You don’t need to be able to do the full splits but you need to demonstrate that you know the positions and you’re working towards it. The run needs to be done outside and not on a running machine. You can tell Shifu your run time when you do the Zoom session. 

If you don’t pass the exam the first time, there will be an opportunity to do the exam once more for no additional charge. Once you’ve passed, you’ll receive a certificate to teach and you’ll be added to Shifu’s website as a professional instructor.
