Dear I Liq Chuan Students,

This is Yen Yin, Master Sam Chin's younger daughter. Master Sam Chin asked that I inform everyone about the grading policy.

In order for students to participate in the grading process, they must be a current member of the Chin Family I Liq Chuan Association. Grading will now only be taken place three times a year for New York students: February intensive, I Liq Chuan Family Annual Picnic (June) and the October workshop. For students outside of New York, you may be graded during the Master Sam Chin's in-town visit(s).

Students/instructors who wish to participant in the grading process must submit an application with their fees in advance (atleast 1 week for Student Level Grading, and 3 months for Instructor Level Grading ). In addition, participants must be in their full uniform including: I-Liq Chuan t-shirt, black pants and level belt. Anybody that does not meet this requirement will not be graded.

This policy will be enforced strictly starting this year.

Should you have any questions or concern, please do not hesitate to contact either myself of Master Sam Chin at [email]yc9335@gmail.com[/email] or [email]samchin@iliqchuan.org[/email]

Sincerely,

Yen Y. Chin
