Curriculum
Curriculum of AYZYIM
There are two kinds of curriculum provided by AYZYIM: required and optional. The required curriculum consists of the training exercises of the Pre-Heaven Power Method at different levels. To become a certified instructor, one only has to learn the subjects listed in the required curriculum. In other words, the ranking system is based solely on the required curriculum.
The optional curriculum include a number of forms and their applications from the styles of Ba Gua, Hsing Yi, Tai Chi, and Wu Dang. They will be offered in the workshops or seminars for those interested in exploring the use of the Pre-Heaven Power Method in these styles.
