Sifu & Program Director
The Path of Michael Rainer
“I had finally found the depth of Wing Chun that I had been searching for in vain for a long time.”
The Early Search
Since my earliest childhood, I was fascinated by martial arts. My journey began with boxing and Taiji Quan, leading to Shotokan Karate and Kickboxing by age 15. Although I trained with high-level instructors and began teaching, I felt a persistent void.
The Turning Point
In 2011, everything changed when I met Sifu Sergio P. Iadarola. From our first contact, he transmitted more depth in two days than I had experienced in fifteen years.
Mastery & Lineage
Through deep research into Wing Chun’s origins, my training expanded into Yang Taiji, Emei 12 Zhuang and Fujian White Crane, as well as Tang Yik Weng Chun.
