Self Defence

The letters E.B.M.A.S are the abbreviation of Emin Boztepe Martial Arts System. EBMAS is named after the founder and Chief Instructor Master Emin Boztepe and was created in 2001. In EBMAS the main emphasis is on the self defence. The training doesn't look like regular Martial Arts training. The majority of training takes part with a partner, where the limbs contact each other.

The training is based on the very practical WT theories which most of the original Wing Chun lineages refer to these same principles of WT. However the important thing for us in EBMAS is to gain the ability to apply these theories in a self defence situation and not just to have them in theory(in mind). According to the Wing Tzun philosophy, the simplest, easiest and most effective way is the best way.

	EBMAS teaches the student how to use their limbs naturally and according to their size. By going through partner exercises students don't just learn but are able to apply the techniques in real life self defence situations. So, in EBMAS for us the focus of training is to ensure that our students understand how each techniques work, and how the limbs and each muscles of the body
help to move to perform that exact technique. Once the student starts to experience how to move his/her limbs in an easy way then all the techniques become a natural way to move. We believe that by understanding how the body works in a situation of application, the student gains a much more valuable skill for the real life applications.

With the help of a realistic approach of teaching every student becomes individually skillful and as such their individual knowledge gives them the ability and increased self confidence to apply the movements if the need arises. We don't believe in the traditional teaching method where the student needs to move like the instructor and his/her movement is just a copy of the instructors. We don't make a difference between an application for a real life self defence situation or an actual working technique. We simply teach what works.

EBMAS Street self defence is proven to be the most effective way of self defence. Students learn to use their movements very efficiently. In 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 and not for competitions or demonstrations.

From the EBMAS training exercises our movements become very fast and explosive without leaving a second for hesitation to respond.

Our students find the EBMAS Martial Arts System fulfills their needs, be it a self defence or a health, or past time activity.
