Si-Fu Stefan Fischer 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 and street fighting 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. He managed nine schools in Germany with hundreds of students. He has been a private student of Grandmaster Kernspecht, Master Edel, Master Schroen and many others. 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. 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. Sifu Stefan Fischer has direct authorisation by Grandmaster Leung Ting and Grandmaster Kernspecht to act as Chief Instructor and Representative of the Leung Ting WingTsun System in Australia. He alone is responsible for establishing and directing the AUEWTO and is in charge of instructing and testing all WingTsun tutors in Australia.
