Issue 71: April 2023

Issue 71 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Giuseppe Schembri. Sifu Schembri, a pioneer of WingTsun in Switzerland and a longstanding member of the European WingTsun Organisation (EWTO), recounts his early interest in martial arts, his martial arts background and journey, and how he eventually came to learn WingTsun from Grandmaster Keith R. Kernspecht in Germany. He also shares stories from his trips to Hong Kong, including a visit to legendary actor and martial artist Kwan Tak-Hing, and meeting with other students of Grandmaster Ip Man. Soft-spoken and affable, Sifu Schembri shines the light on the classical WingTsun programme in the ever-modernising landscape of martial arts.
