IMPORTANT NOTICE! In order to move beyond this point and go to Apprentice Instructor Level I, a test must be taken and passed to assure that the individual is ready to become an Apprentice Instructor. The material necessary to pass the test is in the Jun Fan Fighting Arts Association Member's Manual, which is available to dedicated members only! You must be prepared to abide by and help to uphold all rules and regulations of this organization. It will be expected of you!
