Trainings

Who is the training host?
The minimum rank to be able to host a training is Sifu, which is when people are awarded their black belt. The main training host is the Si Jo.

How does a training start?
The training host asks if anyone is attending the training, they're supposed to sit in the mat area outside the monastery. The people who sit on the mats are attending the training. The training host waits for everyone who wants to attend to sit on a mat. Then, the training host will explain what they're supposed to do for the training. When he/she is done explaining, the other monks will follow him/her to the training area.

What to des the training host do?
The training host leads the monks to the training area which is a part of the temple, but doesn't look like it. Then the training host plans what the monks do in the training, he/she could say "You guys will get a partner & spar with them, then show eachother what you know."

Partner time!
The monks usually get paired up with the person next to them, & they do not usually mind who they get paired up with, though if their best friends with one of the other training members, they might go next to them & try to get picked.

What is sparring?
Sparring is when monks fight eachother to practice their skill. They don't usually hurt eachother very much, so the monks will be ready fort he next event.

The spar!
Monks spar with their partners, like said are usually the person next to them. The have a sword & spear equipped with them. They also use Kung Fu. In sparring & raids, they use a combination of all 3. When a monk wins, they bow.

Demonstration
Then people teach their partner what they know in fighting. Usually the higher rank goes 1st. They teach their partner their method in fighting & see if their partner gets it. Then it's reverse.

Good or Bad job?
If they're doing a good job, their partner will say they're doing good or "Good job!" If they're doing something wrong, their partner will show them how to do it correctly.

Passed!
The monks who passed the training get promoted to the next rank. To pass, you have to be good in the training. If you were interrupting the training host, or doing everything wrong, you wouldn't get promoted. If you did really BAD, you might even get demoted.

How do we know who passed?
The training host will tell the monk to come up if they passed. If they passed they get promoted & can command lower ranks than them.

Passed!
If they passed, like said before they get promoted to the next rank. Any ranked member can command ANYONE with a lower rank than them.
