“Verreweg de beste zelfverdediging leerschool in Enschede en omstreken. Je leert op een rustige en gestage wijze verschillende bewegingsvormen en daarnaast oefen je de toepassingen van deze vormen een-op-een met je medestudenten.”
— Walter von Gabain, Almelo
“Een betere vorm van bewegen is er gewoon niet. De meester is zeer geduldig en je hebt ook zeker een leuke groep om mee samen te sporten. Ik heb mijn zelfvertrouwen weer terug gevonden en sta sterker op mijn benen. Zeker een aanrader!!!”
— Michel Smelter, Enschede
“GM Edgar Zimmermann is een zeer ervaren Wingtczun (Kungfu) meester. Hij is zeer gedreven in de technieken uitleggen tijdens de lessen. Als je denkt om Kungfu lessen te nemen dan zou ik GM Edgar Zimmermann zeker aanbevelen!”
