The system
Two disciplines
Wing Tzun
A Chinese close-combat system - also written Wing Chun or Wing Tsun - built on structure, sensitivity, and economy of motion.
Latosa Escrima
A Filipino weapon and empty-hand system - closely related to Kali and Arnis - principle-driven and translatable to everyday objects.
The founder
Dai Sifu Emin Boztepe
Founder of EBMAS, lifelong Wing Tzun practitioner and one of the most widely respected self-defense teachers of his generation.
Born 1962 in Turkey and raised in Germany, Dai Sifu Emin Boztepe began Wing Tzun in 1980 and became a senior student of Grandmaster Leung Ting in Hong Kong - direct successor of Yip Man. By the late 1980s he was teaching full-time across Europe and North America, building the largest Wing Tzun branch in Germany.
In 2001 he founded EBMAS as an independent organisation, adding Latosa Escrima from Grandmaster Rene Latosa as a complete second pillar. Today EBMAS schools operate in over 50 countries, and every school director and senior grade is personally certified by him.
