Inside the Eternal Spring Instiutute
At the Eternal Spring Institute, students are guided through a structured and progressive training system consisting of multiple levels: Apprentice, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, and Disciple. Upon reaching the Disciple level, a student may be accepted as a closed-door disciple through the traditional Bai Si (tea ceremony), signifying a formal and deeply respected commitment to the lineage.
After approximately three to four years of dedicated and intensive training, eligible students may apply for private instruction and invitation-only closed group training. These advanced studies focus on refined internal development and long-term cultivation, deepening skill through advanced Qigong and Nei Gong methods, detailed study of the Kuen Kuit (fist poems) and their underlying principles, and practical applications intended to prepare students for responsible transmission and guidance of others.
