1. What is EBMAS?
EBMAS stands for the name Emin Boztepe Martial Arts System. EBMAS is based on the traditional Wing Tzun Kung Fu and Latosa Weapon System.
Please visit here for more information.

2. What is Wing Tzun?
According to the legend, Wing Tzun Kung Fu was created by a woman, a Shaolin nun more than 250 years ago in China to fight against a physically stronger opponent. Read more.

3. How do I know if EBMAS is what I'm looking for?
The best way to find out is to participate in an introductional class. This class is FREE without obligation and you are guaranteed to have your questions answered. Please click here to go to our demonstration registration page to make your appointment.

4. Is it safe to practise in EBMAS?
Our training programs provide the student with the essential skills practising in a safe environment. In our partner exercises the student learns how to stay in contact with the partner while maintaining an absolute protection. Meaning, the student doesn't act as a punching bag in order to strenghten his/her body by the partner attacks. On the contrary, in EBMAS we always train to use our limbs to defend ourselves and never use the body as a shield.

5. How quickly can I progress?
It is solely up to the individual how much progress he/she makes. For a relatively quick progress a continuous commitment is essential.

6. Can I become an Instructor?
Yes, you can as a result of your progress from the advanced programs you will get to introduced to our Instructor education. We encourage our advanced students to become instructors themselves and join to our professional team of instructors.

7. How many trainings can I participate in a month?
You can train all of the nights as many times as you wish. To see our timetable please click here.

8. Are there many women training? Does it work for women too?
We only have a few women training at this moment, however the training programs are designed to help to make even a physically weaker person to become very effective in the self defence. Women are especially encouraged to take the challenge to learn our programs as it is a proven fact that EBMAS works highly effective comparing to most of the other martial arts. Please check out the story of one of our female students about what happened with her and why she decided to take up EBMAS. Read here.

9. What does it cost?
For our pricelist please click here.

10. How effective is it for real world self-defence?
EBMAS Street defence is proven to be one of the most effective way of self defence in the world. Students learn to use their movements very efficiently. It is either the street or the training room, the movements are the same. We train with a very realistic approach to street situations without leaving any doubts if it works. Students don't imitate techniques, they learn to use to apply them. We train ourselves for self defence in every meaning of the word and yes, it is realistic. Please feel free to visit our training to experience it for yourself. Please contact us to make an appointment for FREE introductiory training.

11. Can kids do it too? Will it work for them?
Yes, they can do it too with special kids program. At this stage we don't have a current school for children, however in the near future we'll introduce the EBMAS kids programs too. If you have any queries about the forthcoming children programs, please feel free to contact us.

12. Do you have competitions?
We generally have no competitions as part of the system. However, there are EBMAS students world wide trying theirselves out in competitions.


13. How long are the lessons?
A lesson is 1,5 hours long.


14. How long before I'm confident to use it within a real situation?
It depends on your level, but from a 5th Student level you will definitely have enough confidence to use it. It is about 1,5 - 2 years. But of course depending on the situation you will learn effective self defence skill from the start in the first 3 months of your 1st student level.

15. Where are you located?
Currently we train at two locations, in the suburbs of Bassendean and Melville.
Please see the detailed timetable.

16. Do I need to be fit?
You don't need to have an initial fitness in order to start the clasess. Our programs are designed to give you the fitness required to be able to do the exercises. As you go along in the programs the more you progress in your level the better fitness you'll have.


17. What's the best age to do it?
There are no things like "best age" for learning EBMAS. We have a grading system to ensure the students get the right programs to their level of ability. Some of our "older" students reckon the training makes them feel a lot younger.


18. How many in a class?
We make sure to keep the numbers small in order to provide the quality in teaching. Therefore we usually have no more than 10 - 20 people in a class. If the numbers are bigger we have more than one instructor to teach in a class.

19. I've done martial arts before, will that help my progress?
It can definitely help if you've done some martial arts before at least to see the differences between EBMAS and your previous style.

20. What if I've never done martial arts before?
Then you start your journey with EBMAS and we assure you, you'll be in the right hands. You have nothing to worry about. Previous martial arts experience is not a requirement at all to start EBMAS.

21. I'm not an aggressive person, will it work for me?
It sure will. However, as a matter of fact a real street scenario can be very aggressive and violent. We make sure to prepare for such a situation with a realistic approach in our training programs.
