After 42 years of consecutive involvement in Martial Arts and 25 years of WingTsun Master Fischer retired from from active WingTsun in 2014.
Master Stefan Fischer was one of the highest regarded Martial Arts instructors in Australia. He was born in Germany in 1967 and started to practise martial arts at the age of 5 . He practised Judo, Shaolin Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, Thai- and Kickboxing which led him to WingTsun. For five years Sifu Stefan Fischer trained eight hours a day, seven days a week in WingTsun, under the guidance of Grand Master K.R. Kernspecht at the legendary Langezell Castle. He managed nine schools in Germany with hundreds of students. He has been a private student of Grandmaster Leung Ting, Grandmaster Kernspecht, Master Emin Boztepe, Master Salih Avci, Master Edel, Master Schroen and many others.
His style of WingTsun has always been pragmatic and self-defence orientated with the focus on real world application and usefulness.
His longtime occupation as a doorman and body guard gave him valuable "on hand" experience which now immensely benefits his students. As a bodyguard his services were required by the likes of Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude van Damme and Bob Wall. He has been involved in setting up and running the IPSO (International Protection Service Organisation) and at the same time he was running his own security company specialised in personal protection. In 1994 he was appointed as Chief-instructor and Representative of the Australian Escrima and WingTsun Organisation (AUEWTO) by his teachers Grandmaster Keith R. Kernspecht (European Chief Instructor) and Grandmaster Leung Ting (World Chief Instructor).
In the year 2000 he was introduced in to the Blitz Hall of Fame as the Kung Fu instructor of the Year. In June 2001, after 4 years of preparation, he received out of the hands of his Si-Fu Grandmaster K.R. Kernspecht and his Si-Gung Grandmaster Leung Ting the 4th Technican Level WingTsun. In May 2008 Si-Fu Stefan received his 5PG Master Level in WingTsun. Si-Fu Stefan was graded personally by GM Kernspecht and has joined the ranks of a select group of individuals who hold Master levels in WingTsun. His knowledge and skills were in high demand and he frequently held Seminars all over Australia and the world.
