Website Navigation- Everything You Need To Know
Out of the Kwoon and Into the World
This is our motto, and one of the lessons on which we base our classes. We want our students to thrive in class as well as in school, on the job and at home. In addition, we also want to bring the benefits of training in the Kwoon online, so they are accessible to everyone 24/7.
Our website is chock-full of resources, articles, information on upcoming events, necessary forms or documents and updates on our classes.

Our menu is simple;

Our Events; this contains all upcoming events, holidays, children grading days, open training… everything that is happening in our school.
Our Instructors; find out who is teaching you or your child.
Our Blog; where you will find articles like this, that pertain to the whole school and not just a specific group within the school.
Students- this is where all our resources are for our students. You must be an active member of the school and of Memberspace (easy application when you click on this menu item) to access this. It is not accessible to the general public, so ensure you apply for Memberspace asap.
Inside Our Events page;
This will give you a calendar view of all our scheduled events. Hover over any day with an event and you will see a synopsis, or click on the day and you will be taken to a page dedicated to that event, including information or links to relevant forms. If viewing from a phone, you may have to tap once to see the synopsis and double tap to navigate to the applicable page.
Inside the Students page (Memberspace);
From here, you have several portals you can enter, each aimed at a different group of people inside the school. You may belong to multiple groups.
Kwoon News- meant for everyone, parents and students alike.
Announcements- such as upcoming events, changes to the school or procedures, etc.
Latest Articles- all articles relevant to the entire school body
Upcoming Events- yet another way to see all upcoming events, presented in list form instead of on a calendar. Click on any one of them and it will lead you to the corresponding page for each event (including links to relevant forms or documents).
Livestream Resources- everything to do with online training.
Live Class Zoom Links- this is how you watch your kids’ classes or your own classes live. Requires you have the Zoom app.
One on One Appointment Bookings- are your instructors constantly hounding you about booking one on ones for questions and extra training? Here is where that happens. Pick the instructor you wish to have a one on one with and you will be able to view and book a time with them. Each appointment is 10 minutes in duration.
Livestream Lessons- online videos for out of class consumption. There are videos on just about every topic we can think of when it comes to your in class training; forms, techniques, stances, applications, weapons, lion dancing… so tell me, what do you want to work on today?
Livestream Lessons Table of Contents- handy dandy way to find the lesson you are looking for. This was kindly put together for us by one of you, our students.
Kwoon Talk Community- a portal into our online chat forum, Kwoon Talk. You can ask questions here, see conversations amongst your peers, quickly get in contact with your instructors. Requires a membership to WhatsApp.
Parent Resources- Parents, you need to be accessing this area.
Announcements and Articles- these may or may not be duplicated in the Kwoon News area, so make sure to be frequently checking these because these all pertain to you.
Class Re-Caps- ever wonder what we’re doing with your kids in class? These weekly posts give you an idea of what you child is working on.
Resources- by far the most requested area of the website when we receive a request for help. This is where you will find important documents including the INTENT TO PROMOTE LETTER. Parents, you need to ensure you have access to this area.
If you are clicking on the Student menu and none of this is accessible to you, then you need to click on Your Account to get you started.
The remaining portals (I Ho Chuan Resources, Black Belt Resources, Instructor Resources, Staff Resources, Standards Council Resources) are available for specific groups within our school. If you have made it this far and do not have access to any of the others, don’t worry. If you’re supposed to be in any of the other groups, you already are.
