Real martial arts, taught first-hand

You train directly with Headcoach Erich Ferlesch: 36 years of hands-on martial arts experience, teaching since 1997, running his own school in Villach since 2002.

The focus is clean technique, self-defense that actually works and progress you can see. No colourful entertainment, no show – anyone who trains here works.

Your options

1:1 training

A session that belongs to you alone. Pace, content and focus follow your level and your goal – Wing Chun, FMA, HEMA, close combat and self-defense.

Small-group intensive training

You train with a small group: more pace, more pressure, more exchange – and a far lower price per person.

  • Pure private lessons require no mandatory membership.
  • Before the first session we briefly clarify what you want – by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Who is it for?

Anyone with prior experience or a genuine will to work hard.

You don't have to be a martial artist already. But you should be willing to train regularly and accept correction.

Real expertise has a fair value

You pay for 36 years of martial arts practice, personal correction and a clear training path – not for machines, a sound system or a show. If you are mainly after entertainment, you are better elsewhere. If you genuinely want to train, you are right here.

Clearly defined training modules

You can book single sessions or combine several sessions into a clearly defined training block.

At the start we agree together which area you train and which goal you pursue. Each session then builds on the previous one.

Wing Chun

  • Fundamentals
  • Forms and body structure
  • Chi Sao and reaction training
  • Applications and self-defense
  • Wing Chun weapons

Further systems

  • FMA – Filipino Martial Arts
  • HEMA – Historical European Martial Arts
  • Close combat and self-defense
  • Individual technique training

Advanced

  • Grading preparation
  • Advanced training
  • Instructor and teacher development

On successful completion of a defined training module, a CFC certificate is issued.

What training gives you

In a private lesson, every minute belongs to your goal. Many students make more progress in a few private sessions than in months of training on their own.

Faster progress

Errors are spotted and corrected immediately – before they become habits.

Real confidence

You train realistic situations at your own pace until your reactions feel natural.

Your own program

Content and focus follow your goals, your experience and your physical condition.

Private lessons and small-group intensive training are taught personally by Headcoach Erich Ferlesch.

The focus is on clear explanation, technical precision and practical applicability. Lessons follow your level and your goal, not a rigid standard program.
