Ralph Haenel’s Summary
Ralph Haenel - The Kung Fu Coach™,
learning and teaching Wing Tsun Kung Fu since 1984
There is a difference between martial arts and self-defense? Forget about learning flying kicks a la Jackie Chan! And don’t imagine that you’re a dead duck when attacked because you are too small, too weak, too young or too clumsy to evade a rapist, robber or murderer.
According to self-defense expert Ralph Haenel,a real-life attack does not include the referee, time-outs, rules and fairness that people become accustomed to when approaching martial arts as a sport.
Haenel, author of the book, “For the First Time Understand Realistic Self-Defense,” offers journalists a free 70-page Media Kit with complete 'copy & paste' ready guidelines that explain how people of any age, size or physical ability can prevent attacks and escape from harm when threatened.
Self-Defense Expert Ralph Haenel, dubbed 'Anthony Robbins of Self-Defense Instruction', introduces a media kit with seventy pages chockfull of information and newsworthy angles. Go to www.selfdefenseexpertformedia.com

January 1990 — August 1994 (4 years 8 months)
Back then only two WingTsun schools were operating in West Berlin. Breaking new ground, Ralph started the first groups and schools in the Eastern part of the city, the former capital of East Germany, after only months earlier the 'Iron Wall' had come crumbling down. The schools were WingTsun Berlin Friedrichshain, Wing Tsun Berlin Treptow and Wing Tsun Berlin Hohenschoenhausen.
After having lived and worked for a while in Switzerland, Ralph had the pleasure to coach in his classes members of the former East German Olympic Team of gymnasts, among them 1980 gold medalist Maxi Gnauck.
He furthermore started and supported Wing Tsun schools in Suhl, Coswig, Meissen, Stendal, Neustadt-Glewe, Rathenow and other cities. -

-
Trybull Jiu-Jitsu and Judo Rostock
Certified Trainer, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Self-defense, 1978 — 1982
Ralph had the pleasure to learn directly from Sensei Johannes Trybull and also from many members of his trainer team in one of the very few clubs, that existed back then in East Germany. Johannes Trybull (1908-1986), a highly decorated Wold War II veteran, started to learn Jiu-Jitsu during the late 1920's in Yokohama, Japan.
---> Interesting Fact: Not just following a recent trend; No, already in the 1970's did this Jiu-Jitsu school actively include a variety of kettlebell exercises, also as quite a "full-contact" partner training. Decades earlier kettlebell training was quite popular in athletic clubs in Germany. -
