* Wu Guan is a term in Mandarin Chinese meaning 'Martial Hall' (in Cantonese Chinese, the word Kwoon is used). Wu Guan is the traditional term used to denote a martial arts academy. Each branch of Blue Jade Martial Arts is a local Wu Guan.

​

**  Students who have been studying at a Blue Jade Wu Guan for over 3 months, and cannot continue to pay for any justifiable reason, would not be forced to do so. Such students however are expected to help their teacher with various chores if asked to, in exchange for the teachings. Furthermore, if such students are to later attain a stable financial status, it is expected that they eventually repay for their classes.
