All participants were examined on techniques and routines from the Chin Woo Wushu system. A delighted Glen Stanway, founder and Chief Instructor of GMax, said: “I am very pleased with the dedication and high standard that these students have shown, in such a short space of time. A couple of the juniors can perform some of the senior adult techniques, after only seven lessons.”
