In our school, the Hong Bao (紅包) holds a special meaning during belt exams. Beyond its traditional symbolism of good fortune and positive energy, it represents a gesture of gratitude and respect.
At the conclusion of the belt exam, the student offers the Hong Bao to the school as a way to say thank you — for the guidance received, the training shared, and the personal growth achieved along the journey. It is a moment of reflection and appreciation, acknowledging that progress in martial arts is built through dedication, discipline, and the support of teachers and community.
This tradition teaches students that advancement is not only about skill or rank, but also about humility, gratitude, and honouring the path they walk.
