I owe a great debt of gratitude for my experiences in Wing Chun and Qigong to my teachers. On the one hand, there is my Wing Chun teacher Michael Mehle from Frankfurt am Main, with whom I have shared a passion for Wing Chun for over 20 years. I would also like to thank his teachers, especially Sifu Gary Lam from Los Angeles, who has contributed significantly to my development as a Wing Chun practitioner, and my Qigong instructor, Dr. Imke Bock-Möbius from Qigong-Shiatsu-Radolfzell, and her outstanding teachers.

In 2000, my paths crossed with my teacher and current mentor, Michael Mehle. From the beginning, he managed to ignite my enthusiasm for Wing Chun. Together, we embarked on our journey with this fascinating art, a southern Chinese Kung Fu style. Despite numerous uncertainties and changes in associations, we eventually connected with Sifu Gary Lam. A deeply rooted passion for Wing Chun accompanies me to this day. My aim is to practice this art for as long as possible, continuously improve my skills, and constantly deepen and refine my understanding of this style. A few years ago, I felt the need for a balancing element to my Wing Chun. In my search, Qigong came to mind again. Although it is acknowledged in Wing Chun, it remained superficial. I attended various Qigong courses, utilized online live courses, and various online videos and DVDs. Despite these efforts, none of it could satisfy me. I continued to search for an authentic and competent teacher. In this context, I came across an interview with my later instructor, Dr. Imke Bock-Möbius. Immediately convinced, I called her and signed up for a weekend seminar on the topic of "8 Brocades", also known under the Chinese name "Ba Duan Jin". At the end of the weekend, I realized that I wanted to start training with her. After discussing it with my family, I followed through with my decision and have not regretted it for a second since then. I am very excited to see where my journey with Wing Chun and Qigong will take me.
