Instead, beginners wear white shirts and more advanced fighters wear black shirts. But color does not prevent white shirts from learning more advanced techniques or black shirts from returning to the fundamentals of Wing Tsun. It\u2019s a fluid learning system in which the challenge lies not only in refining new skills, but also in continual repetition of the initial building blocks that allow fighters to improve.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpmf-gallerys wpmf-gallerys-life\"><div id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"gallery gallery_life wpmf_gallery_default gallery_default none gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery-link-post wpmf-has-border-radius-0 wpmf-gutterwidth-5 no_ratio\"><figure class=\"wpmf-gallery-item\" data-index=\"0\"><div class=\"wpmf-gallery-icon\"><div class=\"square_thumbnail\"><div class=\"img_centered\"><a class=\" not_video noLightbox\" data-lightbox=\"0\" data-href=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8619-2.-688x1024.jpg\" title=\"IMG_8619 (2).\" target=\"_self\" data-index=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpmf_img\" alt=\"IMG_8619 (2).\" src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8619-2.-150x150.jpg\" data-type=\"wpmfgalleryimg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8619-2.-150x150.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\">Master Will Parker has been practicing Wing Tsun for about 30 years.

Moving up a grade can take a minimum of 3 months. At a maximum it can take years.<\/p>\n<p>Transitioning from student to the technician stage means that the fighter has been taught all the fundamental skills, but they may not come instinctively yet. There are four technician stages, which take a significantly longer time to achieve than the first 12 student grades. For example, Guerman Antanassov, the founder, lead instructor and host of the event at Wing Tsun Illinois, has trained in Wing Tsun for more than 20 years and he is currently a fourth level technician.<\/p>\n<p>When someone becomes a practitioner, they have earned the title of \u201cmaster.\u201d There are four practitioner grades, but because they build on the four technician levels, instead of saying \u201clevel one practitioner,\u201d those who have achieved this level start at \u201cfifth level practitioner\u201d and can go on to achieve up to eighth level practitioner.<\/p>\n<p>Parker achieved fifth level practitioner in 2005 and sixth level practitioner in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Enlightenment is the highest level of Wing Tsun. At this stage, fighters understand the theories of Wing Tsun and other martial arts systems; they can explain and break down any fighting scenario.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80545\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80545\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-80545 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8604-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8604-2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8604-2-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/IMG_8604-2-1-768x493.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Master Will Parker helped Wing Tsun beginners with their technique.
