An accessible teacher and a consummate artist, Sifu Klaus Brand is the innovator of a dynamic and powerfully effective WingChun paradigm. Since 1998, his insight built upon tradition is infusing the advanced weapon techniques into all unarmed movements, this upgrading the entire system.

Technical skills, or proper control of our own bodies, supported by power and speed and altogether adapted to the particular situation, is the art of WingChun.

— Sifu Klaus Brand

With over four decades of research and practice in the field, Sifu Brand imparts a deeply informed and diverse experience in martial arts, self-defense, weapons and combat. As founding Grandmaster of the International Academy of WingChun in 2003, he personally represents and impeccably embodies the highest expression of WingChun quality available today.

To train you do not need an ideal weight or a special fitness. All you need is the will.
