MARTIAL ARTS & YOGA

At the age of 7 my martial arts path began with Judo. Later I tried classical boxing, Muay Thai Boran and Hap Ki Do. Thai boxing was the most fun for me at this time. In 2001 I founded my Wing Chun martial arts school. After a few years, teaching Wing Chun became my full-time profession. Since I was equally enthusiastic about IT from the beginning, I improved my standard of living and my further education through regular IT projects.

GARY LAM WING CHUN KUNG FU

Since 2011, I have been teaching the Gary Lam Wing Chun system. After the Covid pandemic had started, I returned to working in the IT area at a federal agency. I will continue to teach Wing Chun as long as I can, it is my passion, I love and live it, and it will be with me all my life.

SECURITY SECTOR JOB

Bodyguard

During my studies of mechanical engineering I worked as a bouncer at the „MusicHall“, a discotheque in Frankfurt am Main, earning some extra money. Here I gained some practical experience in street fighting. Thereafter I successfully completed a training as a bodyguard and worked in this profession for some time. One of my shooting instructors was Hans-Jürgen Goldmann („Goldi“), a GSG9 officer, and my first contact with Wing Tsun.
