Issue 66: June 2022

Issue 66 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Michael Rainer. When he was eight, Sifu Rainer saw the movie One-Armed Swordsman Against Nine Killers, and it deeply inspired him to learn Kung Fu. He began his martial arts journey training for a short time in Taijiquan, afterwards gravitating towards Karate and Kickboxing, until a few years later when he was introduced to Wing Chun. After years of being disappointed by the teachings of many of the Wing Chun Sifus he encountered, he eventually met his master, Sifu Sergio Iadarola, to later become the Austrian and German representative for his Internal Wisdom and Knowledge Association (IWKA).
