An open, hands on, martial arts seminar concentrating on kung fu will be held Saturday, September 17 between 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at Marietta Martial Arts, 2145 Roswell Road, Marietta, Ga. Participants must be at least 12 years old to attend, and martial artists from all styles are encouraged to take part in the training.
Paul Wang from Berkley, Calif., U.S. head instructor for the International Academy of WingChun® (IAW), will lead the seminar. Wang is a private student of Grandmaster Klaus Brand of Germany, founder of the IAW. Brand awarded Wang the WingChun® Diploma Teaching Certification, making him the most highly qualified IAW representative in North America.
The seminar will be followed by additional training in escrima and combat fighting techniques on Sunday, September 18 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Grandmaster Klaus Brand
The organization will also hold an end of the year seminar with Grandmaster Brand on Saturday, December 10, between 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The seminar will again be held at Marietta Martial Arts. Advance reservations are recommended.
This will be Brand's second visit to Atlanta. “It is becoming increasingly apparent that self defense is a necessity, and our methods of counter attack are very proficient,” said Brand. “One must train to defend as well as increase self confidence in physical abilities. The Chinese mastered the art of self defense centuries ago, and we’re building on that philosophy.”
