I have been practicing the art of Shaolin Kung Fu Gao Can Mun Nam Pai Chuan for over 30 years and I am still amazed by the knowledge and wisdom of the Shaolin monks! I had tried numerous other martial arts before 1991 when I met Sifu Chris Lai during a holiday in Greece and personally find that Kung Fu offers me the right combination between a martial art, skill in handling weapons, pragmatic self-defense and combat training. This is supplemented the Chigung breathing science to represent an overall holistic approach that is both traditional and modern at the same time.

​

I travel to London several times a year to keep in touch with my Master Chris Lai and my numerous Kung Fu friends in the UK. I also participate in regular Zoom training sessions and while I think that this can be a very good addition to normal classes or a temporary solution during more challenging times (e.g. Covid), there really is no substitute to training in person and knowing what it feels like to hit a punching bag!

Professionally, I have my own financial advisory and investment company advising family offices and other  more institutional clients in Switzerland. On a more private note, I am happily married with 2 almost grown-up daughters.
