The following list of senior students (i.e., Level 6, Full Black sash or above) span across all of the years of the School’s instruction.

No student is permitted to establish their own school unless they have reached the level of Si-Fu. The School takes seriously any individual that falsely claims the reputation, right or authority of a senior student of the school and Si-Gung Roger Smart.
Students that train in the Australasian Wing Chun Kung Fu school are not permitted to train outside the school in any other disciplines during their time in the school.
