IWKA stands for Internal Wisdom & Knowledge Association and was founded by Grand Master Sifu Sergio Pascal Iadarola who has carried out extensive research into the history and real facts behind this Martial Art. This knowledge is now being shared around the world via the IWKA system. SiFu Sergio is one of the first westerners to open successful Wing Chun Academies in Hong Kong and Mainland China. There are now schools in several European countries including the UK, Holland, Italy, Austria, Lithuania, Germany, France, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece & Turkey. Also in Hong Kong, China & Australia. The art of Wing Chun has a number of spellings / translations but all share the same historical roots sometime in the years during the 1700’s. Wing Tjun is the spelling the IWKA use to distinguish their system, some others are Wing Tsun / Ving Tsun / Weng Chun / Wing Tzun that vary from one lineage to another. This Ancient Chinese Martial Art came about by the fusion of two disciplines ; Emei 12 Zhuang and Fujian White Crane and was created for use in short distance fighting.
