The First Step: What to Expect at Your Trial Lesson

The thought of a first training session makes many a little nervous – that's completely normal. So you know what you're getting into, here's the process step by step.

Arriving and getting to know us

You come in comfortable sportswear, we take care of the rest. A short chat clarifies your goals and any limitations. You don't need to know anything or prove anything.

The training

You take part from the start – at your own pace. Warm-up, simple basics and partner drills give you a real feel for how we work. Everything is explained, nothing is assumed.

No pressure afterwards

After the trial lesson you decide at your leisure. The fee for the first CFC training module covers that personal session itself – the trial lesson is already a first modular training service, a fair introduction without sales pressure.

The Importance of Proper Equipment and Mindset

For your first session at CFC in Villach, you do not need any complex specialized equipment. Clean sportswear and clean non-slip socks are perfectly sufficient to immerse yourself in the world of Wing Chun and FMA. Much more important than material gear is your inner mindset: come with an open mind and a desire to learn something new. In our academy, we value respectful interaction at eye level. Since our training is not a competitive sport, the performance pressure often feared by beginners is eliminated. Instead, we focus on how you can protect yourself instinctively and effectively in an emergency. This mental focus helps you to implement the first movement patterns precisely and efficiently under the guidance of Sifu Erich Ferlesch and his team in a professional environment.

Reality-Based Approach Over Theoretical Drills

A key aspect of instruction at CFC is the focus on uncompromising practice. While other systems often waste time with aesthetic but ineffective movements, we concentrate on what truly works in a real conflict within Wing Chun and Eskrima. Sifu Erich Ferlesch incorporates his 25 years of experience in operational security here. You will learn in your very first training that real self-defense is designed for real emergencies and therefore requires a different approach than a sporting duel. We analyze distances, utilize the opponent's momentum, and work on economical defense. This practical approach ensures that you leave the room with a sharpened awareness of dangerous situations and understand why functionality always takes precedence over mere theory at CFC in Villach.

Your Path to Increased Security and Confidence

Starting a martial art like Wing Chun is an investment in your personal safety and self-confidence. It is not about impressing anyone, but about remaining capable of acting in everyday life. If you have become curious about how Wing Chun or the FMA systems feel in practice, we cordially invite you to see for yourself on site. Visit us at Karawankenweg 13 in Villach and experience a training session that combines technique, fitness, and genuine self-defense. Take the opportunity to benefit from the decades of expertise of our team led by Sifu Erich Ferlesch. We look forward to meeting you personally and accompanying you during your first steps on the mat. Simply arrange your appointment for a non-binding trial lesson directly with CFC.
