Exploring Wing Chun Power at KEI Kung Fu with Sifu Göksel

On Sunday April 6th, our Kung Fu academy, KEI Kung Fu in Amsterdam, hosted a very special Wing Chun seminar with Sifu Göksel Erdogan and it turned out to be a real milestone moment for our community.

 

This was Sifu Göksel’s first seminar at our academy— KEI Kung Fu. And we were honored to welcome him. Our students, both beginners and advanced, came together for a full day of hands-on training, deep insights, and powerful martial arts principles. On top of that, Wing Chun practitioners and school owners from other lineages joined in as well, adding to the energy and diversity of the group.

The focus of the day? Going back to the roots.

We explored the foundations of the Wing Chun system through the Siu Nim Tao form — the first form in Wing Chun, but arguably the most important. It was a deep dive into internal structure, body mechanics, and principle-based movement. And the emphasis was clear: real martial arts power doesn’t come from tension or brute force. It comes from understanding. From relaxation. From internal connection.

Sifu Göksel shared his unique approach to using explosive internal power, rooted in the Dantian and expressed through efficient, functional movement. What made it even more special was how practical it felt. Not just theory or mysticism, but real, usable martial skill you could feel and apply.

Here’s what Sifu Göksel shared about the experience:

“HOW TO USE EXPLOSIVE INTERNAL POWER THROUGH PRINCIPLES

For the very first time, I held a seminar in Amsterdam and it was incredible! The group included highly motivated school owners, some with backgrounds in internal Kung Fu.

That made the seminar even more exciting, as we focused on how to use relaxed, internal power through the Dantian in a principle-based, explosive and truly functional way — not just in theory.

The interest and energy were amazing. A truly great group to work with! Special thanks to Lai-Wing, Wesdy, and Robert.

If you’re into Wing Chun and located in Amsterdam, this group is highly recommended!”

 

We’re really proud of how the day turned out, not just because of the techniques we explored, but because of the mindset and openness everyone brought to the mat. It reminded us why martial arts is more than just fighting. It’s about growth, discipline, and connection.

A big thank you to Sifu Göksel for sharing his Wing Chun with us, and to everyone who showed up with focus, curiosity, and spirit.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more seminars, special events, and martial arts gatherings here at KEI Kung Fu.
