Why WingTsun?

Three fundamental differences from other martial arts.

01

Built for the street, not the mat

No rules, no weight categories, no referee. WingTsun was designed for real self-defense in tight spaces (corridors, elevators, public transport) where most assaults occur.

02

Logic, not brute force

Age, gender or fitness level aren't obstacles. Everything rests on movement physics, timing and body structure. A 55 kg student can neutralize a 90 kg opponent.

03

100 % authentic, direct lineage

Yip Man → Leung Ting → Keith R. Kernspecht → Giuseppe Schembri → Hugo Wüthrich. No shortcuts, no dilution. The EWTO system is taught in over 60 countries.

A 300-year lineage

Every move you'll learn was refined by ten generations of masters. That's authenticity.

  • My daughters have been practising since the Wing Tsun school opened in Collogny. They're delighted and progressing really well. The instructors are attentive and professional. Wing Tsun matters not only for self-defence but also for mutual respect and self-confidence.

Frequent questions

Answers to questions we hear most often.

On the contrary. Most of our students start WingTsun as adults with no prior experience. The EWTO program is built precisely for this: a structured progression from beginner to expert, with no prerequisite.

No. WingTsun isn't an athletic art: no acrobatic kicks, no violent impacts, no weight categories. You progress at your own pace. Many of our students started after 10 years of being sedentary.

These are three transcriptions of the same Chinese name (詠春). WingTsun (with capital T) specifically refers to Leung Ting's lineage, Yip Man's direct heir, and the system structured by EWTO. That's what we teach.

Kids from 6, Teens from 12, Adults from 16. Every program is pedagogically tailored to age. For the youngest, the focus is on confidence, motor skills and respect, more than pure self-defense.

First useful reflexes appear within 3 to 6 months of regular practice. Real autonomy settles in between 1 and 2 years. What the body absorbs through repetition becomes a true reflex: instantly available the day you actually need it, and yours for life.

Absolutely not. WingTsun was historically developed by and for women (legend traces the system back to nun Ng Mui). Our adult class is mixed and the teaching takes into account differences in build and the situations women encounter more often. About a third of our adult students are women.

Better than that: your first trial class is free and you actively participate. It's the only way to know if the atmosphere and teaching suit you.

Our main venue is Marziano Dojang, Rue Eugène-Marziano 7, 1227 Geneva (Acacias district). The Vernets swimming-pool car park is a 3-minute walk away. Tram lines 15 and 17 have a stop less than 50 metres from the venue. Some teen and kids classes are held instead at the Centre Sportif de Cologny (Salle Passing — accès terrasse), Chemin de la Tulette 8, 1223 Cologny. On-site parking is available. It is free for 2 hours.
