Issue 42: June 2018

Issue 42 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Markus Schinhammer on the cover. Markus started his martial arts journey when he was five years old, training in Karate, Taekwondo, and Judo. He began training Escrima and Wing Tsun in the Leung Ting lineage simultaneously at age 13. For the past four years, he has learned Ip Man Wing Chun as a private student of Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. In this in-depth interview, he shares his views about the swap from the Leung Ting lineage for Samuel Kwok’s, which taught him many things about real fighting, form training, body mechanics and structure, Chi Sau, and lots more. Today, he is a recognised Sifu under the "Samuel Kwok Wing Chun Martial Arts Association" and "Ip Man Wing Chun Germany".
