"Having trained in martial arts for over 20 years, I always find new things to learn and have fun on a journey that never ends. And one that, most importantly, gives you self-defence skills you need every day.
I hope my teaching gives people a better perspective on martial arts."

"Martial arts training is a journey, for me one that's lasted more than 30 years. Each step you take reveals another spectacular view of the road ahead! While self-defence is a serious subject, training has to be fun and engaging - and one that keeps people coming back for more."

Sifu Ben Gosling
4th Higher grade
"Wing Tsun is the blend of intellectual engagement, physical mastery and body mechanics, these make it a truly unique martial art. Teaching and learning are interconnected and this is powerful — by sharing knowledge, everyone progresses. Put simply, we have fun, laugh, learn and improve.
The timeless art
of self-defence
WingTsun is a classic martial art based on Yip Man's Hong Kong style and by Prof. Keith Kernspecht was spread in Europe.
Three steps are followed: learning the form, adapting the movement by means of ChiSao exercises and the application for self-defence and struggle.
You want to be confident in every situation? With WingTsun, you learn to defend yourself and become fitter, more mindful and more confident.
A great way for kids to get fit and have fun
With Kids-WingTsun, children (6-12 years) can build confidence as well as practical self-defence skills. In addition, they learn in a playful way that a respectful approach to others is a sign of strength.
Group classes are essential, because contact with others helps your child learn their own strengths and weaknesses. Empathy and consideration are trained and cohesion is promoted.
At the same time, the training supports social integration into a group, the acceptance of authorities and thus education as a whole.

The land of styleless stickyness
For more than 63 years, Prof. Dr. Keith Kernspecht sought to explore, understand and improve WingTsun. His legacy is the essence of it: “Magic Hands” - a combination of combat logic, biomechanics and energy theory, enriched with elements from the wrestling, Kyokushin full contact karate and nine inner styles.
The approach does not require any learning of fixed movements, follows no style and is therefore an excellent melee combat supplement for boxers, grapplers, aikidoka, karateka, tai chi and chi Gung practitioners.
