,For 30 years we do set the benchmarks regarding
the teaching quality of Wing Tsun and Escrima'
...is the leitmotif that the former school team around Dai-Sifu Olbers developed in the past and is now more than ever striving to bring it to even higher quality levels on a daily basis.
By doing that the quality level reached in the past is a consistant basis for the aim at the future international standard.
Apart from that this leitmotif is a mutual vision that establishes tight bonds within the present association of the IUEWT, which at present extends over Germany and France:
,We are setting benchmarks regarding the teachings of Wing Tsun and Escrima'.
Out of this vision the most basic rules of the association are evolved: team spirit, willingness to create things, motivation, team operational abilities, ability to adjust, willingness to learn, etc.. If only one member is missing one of the aforementioned features it is not our philosophy to leave the weak alone on himself but instead the team is supposed to lift him up to a level where he can work with his teammates as peer. The prerequisite for this is the willingness to be open to new things. Only by this it is possible to keep a constantly high level of quality and even further evolve it.
Who does not know Alexandre Dumas' fiction of the Three Musketeers - all for one and one for all! This sounds pretty pathetic but even today it is a top modern tool of leadership which today sounds more like: the serving leader, who leads from the front!
But what does this mean? The then school team around Dai-Sifu Olbers was established on this train of thought in order to be able to withstand the ever increasing competition. Because the martial arts of Wing Tsun and Escrima are traditionally aligned with firm hierachies from the past an ever increasing competition brings the need for an adjustment of the leadership style but without levering the traditions on the basis because they are unseperable tied to martial arts as their own form of identity. Today's approach of the association is the one of the minimal tradition.
Like this the Sifu in the IUEWT is certainly the teacher, person of respect as well as a visionary for his field, but in other daily fields of teaching and business he arrays himself as a team peer towards necessary measures so as to give an impetus into projects and plans and by this having them driven forward and bringing them to a success for the realization of the common vision. The demand is broken down towards each single team member so that even small regional working teams show the same professionalism and by this a way of common resemblance. Simultanously the even structured methods for each team member are supposed to leave big space for creativity and individual projects so to foster complacency and bring up a well rounded instructor.
Who will profit from all this?
1. Firstly each single student - only a complacent instructor in a well functioning team can encourage his students to top achievments.
2. The instructor himself - only when an instructor can reach his self implemented goals with the team then he will be a reliable factor for the whole team - a chain is only as strong as its weakest member.
3. The IUEWT as the covering organ, which according to the above stated model is giving an impetus to the whole school team and is thereby helping to bring itself again as the supreme team 'IUEWT' closer to the aimed vision. This method is even publicly acknowledged as leading by competing associations which in today's time of competition and displacement is a well worth mentioning as a positive recognition for the whole school team.
Should You have any interest of applying for a membership in our association as a normal member, instructor or school leader we are looking forward to Your email contact at: mitgliedsverwaltung@iuewt.com
