Dai-Sifu Emin the Founder of EBMAS - Martial Arts
Background
Emin Boztepe has been studying martial arts since 1976. He has trained in many
styles and holds an impressive martial arts resume:
1.) Taekwondo
2.) Shotokan
3.) Muay Thai
4.) Turkish freestyle Wrestling
5.) Boxing
6.) Wing Tsun Leung Ting System
7.) PMAS Escrima Latosa System
Currently Emin devotes his time to the study and teaching of Wing Tsun Kung Fu
and Escrima under the auspices of the International Wing Tsun Martial Arts
Association (IWTMAA) and the Philippine Martial Arts Society (PMAS). When not
training or teaching , Emin works on his acting career, which has landed him
roles in movies filmed in Europe and the United States.
Early
Days
Emins early days in Germany were
not easy due to his Turkish heritage. He was a constant target for racial
insults, and more often than not, verbal abuse would swiftly turn into Physical
abuse. Martial arts became something of a necessity. His father urged him to
begin training, and thus at age 14 Emins Martial arts career begun. His training
quickly developed into a passion that he carries to this day.
True
Martial Artist
Due
to Emins preference to effective self defense
techniques, he now views himself as a true Martial
Artist and not a "Sportsman". It was
this same preference that originally attracted
him to Wing Tsun when he saw a demonstration in
Germany. This led him to seeking instruction from
Keith Kernspecht, noted European Wing Tsun Master
and senior Student of Grandmaster Leung Ting.
Many years of training in the Wing Tsun system
have now passed for Emin. He is thoroughly convinced
that the self defense techniques and philosophy
of Wing Tsun are second to none. He became the
senior master Student of Dai Sifu Keith Kernspecht.
Today he is the official representative for Wing
Tsun in the U.S. and Scandinavia as well as the
official representative for Latosa Escrima in
the U.S. after studying under Master Bill Newman.
Embodiment of the Wing Tsun Philosophy
The life of Emin Boztepe is a
mirror for the Wing Tsun Philosophy as taught by the IWTMAA: be aggressive in
all encounters while avoiding conflict whenever possible. When faced with the
unavoidable challenge of conflict, meet it head on, finish it quickly, expend as
little energy as possible and continue on your way. According to Wing Tsun
philosophy. The simplest, easiest and most effective way is the best way.
"Avoiding a physical confrontation that is not truly necessary does not mean
being a coward but being humble," states Emin. "However, conflicts must be met
head on when left no other choice because of possible harm to yourself, your
loved ones or your family. This includes my Wing Tsun family which currently
spans over 50 countries. Though Emin has trained in many different Martial Art
Disciplines, he currently bases his self defense solely on Wing Tsun Kung Fu and
Escrima. He feels this helps him fulfill his philosophy of ending conflicts
quickly by using effective and simple techniques. These sort of techniques are
the hallmark of Wing Tsun. Emin confesses, "I only believe in using techniques
that work as fast as possible and minimize injury to myself. The Wing Tsun
philosophy states: To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Why be
kind and gentle to someone who is trying to harm you or your loved ones? "
Training
The Wing Tsun philosophy also
advocates realistic training. Emin feels that this is one of the most important
factors in developing effective self defense techniques. Although Emin believes
in other forms of training such as bag-training, aerobics etc. he feels that
nothing can take the place of sparring and Wing Tsun Chi Sau practice with a
live partner. Emin emphasizes that training should become a regular routine for
any serious Martial Artist. "You can have the best techniques and the best
Instructors, but if you donąt practice regularly and realistically it will not
be useful." Emin exemplifies this himself by adhering to a strict training
schedule of 4 hours a day.
