Sije Marianne Henriksen Instructor WT Scandinavia - 12. Student Grade

2014 - Started in WT Center.

2017 - Wing Tsun Instructor - Thursday evening Womens class.

I have had the pleasure of practicing Wing Tsun since the summer of 2014. My debut happened at random, as I would pass by Østbanegade on my way home several times a week. With no prior martial arts experience, I stumbled upon the club and decided to enter one day, as my regular fitness appointment went off on a long summer break. Wing Tsun turned out to be a challenge – and still is. And that’s what keeps me there.

I’ve had the good fortune of training with and alongside competent personalities – most of them men – which for women is quite an asset. The reason being that it becomes very evident that one’s strength often is no match for the opponent’s or - worst case – an assailant’s. Learning how the body works and reacts, and practicing technique and structure becomes a given, and I feel that being able to train potentially dangerous situations, with people I can trust, is a great advantage.

Today, I instruct a women’s class on Thursday nights along with Sije Signe. My own training includes joining classes at least twice a week, participating in seminars, and taking private lessons with Sifu Lars Murholt a couple of times a month.
