On average the entire Lian Padukan syllabus may be completed within seven to eight months, based on four to six hours of training per week.

Mastery of the art, however, lies not in memorizing the techniques but rather in having a full understanding of the principles and mechanics of Lian. The understanding (Kefahaman) of these principles and mechanics will eventually allow the student to develop his own style of fighting.

The student who diligently practices this style will find that mastery of the art of Lian Padukan will transform him into a deadly, highly effective and efficient fighter.
