In traditional Kung Fu, there is no ladder of progression for students to measure themselves against. To accommodate the demands of westerners, however, coloured belt progressions have been established by some schools.

Training is performed in an informal manner with students encouraged to practice a certain technique or sequence under the watchful eye of a senior student. The teacher normally instructs through his senior grades. One by one, students are called forward to perform their techniques in front of the class. In westernised schools, the whole club practices in lines – similar to Karate or Taekwondo.

Kung Fu is primarily a striking system and holds are not found outside of schools specialising in them. Weapons such as the spear, trident, halberd, broadsword, butterfly knives, rice flail and quartersword are used.

Sparring is only practised in certain schools and then only under strict supervision. Prearranged sparring tends to be the norm.

A large number of Kung Fu clubs within NAKMAS are currently represented.
