I started training martial arts at a young age. I started karate when I was 12 years old and did a few different styles before finally starting Ving Tsun Kung Fu under sifu Bob Bruggeman in 2009. In July 2014 I met master Philipp Bayer for the first time through Georges Weisgerber and Frutz Leurs, former students of Bob. As a result, I decided in January 2016 to take lessons with Hani Sabbagh in Liège who is also an instructor under Philipp Bayer. Besides teaching weekly in Mortsel and Grobbendonk, I also continues to attend Philipp Bayer's seminars to improve my knowledge and skills.
