First, i started to learn WT for 1.5 years in a different organisation. Then i left there went to EBMAS. I was in EBMAS for 1.5 years. I have experience to comment how he and his organisation is. My opinion is not good about his instructions :( they just kick and punch well. i haven't seen them to apply WT techniques well. I think WT is not that. It mustn't be just punch and kick well. I saw many instructors from different organisations and i know real WT instructors, they can really apply techniques from chum kui, biu jee. They can explain the logics and little details of techniques. But I haven't seen a person to examine like them in EBMAS. İ just had a seminar with him and that was a disappointment too. He didn't take pains to teach something to us. He talked with a man for a feature in a tv program. His instructors showed us something are taught in normal lessons. I think their instructors aren't as good as EWTO instructors. In my opinion, if we compare two people from EWTO and EBMAS who are at the same level, i can say the person from EWTO has more WT quality. He is one of the best fighters(maybe the best) but i can't praise him as a good teacher. And now i am in a different organisation and more happy to learn real WT. I study wing tsun kung-fu in turkey.

The saddest part is that they may actually be that deluded to believe in what they are promoting. Wing Chun or Wing Tsun is a disgrace to Chinese culture and those morons who has been selling it off around the world for the past 40 years should feel ashamed.

emin boztepe is someone of interest to me, and his linage of teachers comes down the forward wing tsun style, with it’s evolved evolution from wing chun, i read years ago, as a intellectual, non student of any martial art.

i practice wing chun, coming from a 8th level practitioner down the line. i invest time in many different arts over the years, but will be drawn into using my time into where depths inspire and require the artistic compulsive need.

yes, i would like to practice more. money is always a problem towards commitment, but somewhere there is structure to learn, i can take footsteps, in definate realistic wing tsun ways i can can spire to know?

the wing tsun i am taught, has depth and measurements superior to other martial arts and sports, and always get this feedback from fellow students, whom will test sometimes out of curiousity how different arts kicks and punches strikes and manouvres, can be counteracted by wing chun centreline manouvres. the idea of the centreline is a principal that should steady wing chun ground, and not lead into the confusion of countless techniques people seem to be encountering in all the other martial arts/sports they get tyed up by.

where is there outlet for books or dvd’s by emin bozetepe?
what is the cariculum and costs of ebmas in the borders of scotland united kingdom?

Jst by looking at a person one can make out most of him. He seems to be a person who has worked hard in his practice and has got good technique. There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Some observers mistake it. Would love to have such a teacher in our city. Suneet. Chandigarh, India. I watched his one video and liked him a lot.

I find him to be genuinely humble and good natured. I admire his loyalty, humor and personality. I am proud to call him my friend. I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Sifu Emin.

Emin first of all is a very good teacher. Wing Chun techniques wise, he is at a very high level. Veeery heavy & sensitive hands. Super timing. Great power generation. Well, doesn't he have his mistakes? Yeah, just like everyone he did things he should not have done & did not do things he should have done. When you get famous in any way, certain people gather around you and act like they are your friends followers. It is hard to know who is who these days. I now he had some misjudgements in that area. For the MMA guys. Wake up. That is just a pro sport and just like in almost every pro sport, we are talking about steroids drugs and all that bull. Todays wing chun is about saving ones and/or your loved ones life when attacked by some worthless piece of ... .( so wing chun people, stop practising against straight punches. Bring mass attacks and knife attacks in to your training schedule. Let wing chun keep evolving in that direction. Systema is 3 steps ahead. Yes, systema is actually good. It has lots of the principles lost from wing chun, tai chi and similar arts). Anyway, if anyone has a chancd to train with Emin, leave your ego somewhere else and train with him.

The personality is a different issue. A lot of people near the top have arrogant attitudes e.g the Olympic guy in Beijing who just threw his bronze medal to the ground, Bobby Fisher in Chess, Mike Tyson in Boxing, Mozart in music, Gauss in mathematics. Emin is not in the same league as the people I mentioned though, just examples. For an average club they can be dazzled by a professional from any art. The newer members often lose faith after being exposed to a full timer but senior members realize unless you put in the same number of hours you just can't achieve what these kinds of people do. For myself I don't like arrogant attitudes either and like the more humble approach. I appreciated when we met Kenneth Chun and he just asked us to call him Ken and even though he was also light years ahead of us he said he was willing to try to refine what we knew as opposed to some others who would use the marketing type of talk that "Obviously your art is inferior because I can beat all of you up." Bruce Lee was also very arrogant but people tend to ignore these aspects when they admire achievements. The real fighters in my mind are the boxers who get paid millions of dollars. They put their reputation on the line. The martial artists would argue that boxers have rules and real fighters can poke your eyes out thus making martial arts better. But these kinds of things have been argued to death for centuries I am sure. It was perhaps because of certain attitudes that we just kept going our own way even though we realized we would not get to Emin's level. In this age of the gun, I think martial arts should just be a kind of fitness hobby combined with it being an art as opposed to getting too serious about the ultimate martial art. The top people in all arts are impressive in the hours of dedicated work they put in.
