4. Duan/Dan master degree candidate and trainer IV license candidate in Tao Chan Wing Chun Kung Fu, Sifu of Tao Chan Wing Chun
Sifu Günbay is one of the most senior students of the founder of Tao Chan Wing Chun, Grandmaster Abbot Chi Sim. Together with Sifu Ajie, he serves as the head instructor of Tao Chan Wing Chun Augsburg, under the direct commission of Grandmaster Abbot Chi Sim, who is also the responsible Sifu for the school.
From an early age, Sifu Günbay was introduced to martial arts and began his lifelong journey into the study of various combat systems.
His dedication to martial arts started in childhood, as he immersed himself in different disciplines and gradually made the art a core part of his life. During his exploration of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee’s personal martial philosophy, he discovered a system that also emphasized the internal principles of Kung Fu—and it led him to the foundation and root of the system - Wing Chun. His path brought him to the Tao Chan Wing Chun School in Munich, led by Grandmaster Abbot Chi Sim, who unified the lineage of Ip Man Wing Chun with Shaolin teachings.
Beyond the style and effectiveness of this martial art, it was the internal depth, philosophical foundation and higher principles of Wing Chun that drew Sifu Günbay to Grandmaster Abbot Chi Sim and the Tao Chan Wing Chun system. Here, the integration of body and mind, practice and theory, as well as the cultivation of health, became key. The system is a holistic approach, offering long-term benefits in mental clarity, health, self-awareness, and real-life self-defense unlike many Western Martial Arts schools that often focus mainly on mechanical self-defense.
After many years of dedicated, intensive, and disciplined training directly under the guidance of Abbot Chi Sim, Sifu Günbay was granted permission to teach Wing Chun independently and now instructs in both Augsburg and Munich. His mission is to pass on the profound knowledge he received from his teacher — developing students not only in fitness and health, but also in mindset, mental strength, and self-defense.
He is committed to conveying the full essence of Tao Chan Wing Chun and its deep philosophy, as explicitly entrusted to him by Grandmaster Abbot Chi Sim.
