Sifu's view on the importance of grading

The Sifu asked that I share his view on the importance of grading for ILC students as follows:
The purpose of grading is to give each I Liq Chuan student the confidence of knowing that their skill at each level tested has been verified and validated by an officially authorized instructor.
With this validation, an I Liq Chuan student has the ability to go anywhere I Liq Chuan classes, workshops and seminars are held in the United States and throughout the world and be recognized and respected for the skills achieved.
Without this grading, an I Liq Chuan student, with no recognized standing in the system, would have no authoritative source to effectively answer any challenge of their opinions of, or instructions in the art of I Liq Chuan.
thanks rose!
if nothing else, the grading system helps to reinforce the curriculum, as laid down by the Sifu. the curriculum gives us a path to follow so we don't wander off on the worng path. i think this will be more important after Sigong, Sifu and Jimmy are gone.
