WingChun and Escrima martial arts encompass a traditional heritage rooted in historical battles and ancient South Chinese Kung-Fu temples. With their profound philosophies and the age-old master-apprentice relationship, these two martial arts have been passed down through generations as a historical legacy. Students at Magnolia Kung-Fu Temple have the opportunity to learn these martial arts in a temple-like setting, preserving their ancient traditional structure while modernizing them.


Our founder/head instructor, Dai Sifu Berat Uylukçu, offers tailored programs to meet the desires and needs of our students or prospective students. These programs are available for individual students or small groups (such as close friends, partners, or adult family members) at specific times in our camp area, whether for one-on-one sessions, day classes, or one-week special programs. This opportunity extends to individuals worldwide, allowing them to learn Wing Chun, Escrima, and Functional Training programs, progress, and even achieve instructor or master levels.


For those interested in acting or aspiring actors, stunt performers, or anyone curious about traditional weapons in historical series and films (such as swords, axes, shields, spears, etc.) or modern-day action scenes involving close combat or stunt work (including martial arts stunts), we provide training. Our Head Instructor, Dai Sifu Berat Uylukçu, is an expert choreographer in both Wing Chun and Escrima as well as in Stage Combat (having worked as an experienced trainer in series like "Muhteşem Yüzyıl," "Poyraz Karayel," "Teşkilat," among others).


The daily schedule, the number of participants, the days on the calendar for our special camps, and any training programs that you might feel are lacking if you are already attending another school—all of these need to be discussed with our founding head instructor, Dai Sifu Berat Uylukçu. This can be done through a phone call or, if possible, in a face-to-face meeting.


Apart from our special camps, we host three different traditional camps that anyone can join each year. Our spring and autumn camps, conducted over weekends, include 5-6 hours of training each day and feature significant tests like the Eğitmen TG tests. These camps also host diploma ceremonies for all level students.


Our summer camps, lasting five consecutive days, provide 5-6 hours of training daily. Similar to the other camps, they include major tests like Eğitmen tests, TG-PG tests, and Sifu tests, with diploma ceremonies for all level students.


The benefits of our camps, the quality of training, the forging of new Kung-Fu friendships, training together for days, and the shared experiences like lighting a campfire are something that cannot be replicated in intermittent training (such as group classes or seminars). Therefore, our camps hold great significance for us. Whether you have a background in martial arts or not, we invite you to join our next upcoming camp or one of our private special camps. We look forward to meeting you soon.




Special Camps, Content of Special Trainings


Our Martial Arts Camps, open to anyone interested, traditionally take place every spring, summer, and autumn. Additionally, we also hold private camps at our Magnolia Kung-Fu Temple campsite, aside from these traditional camps.


These camps cater to participants who wish to specialize in areas like Wing Chun, Escrima, Functional Training, Fitness, Stage Combat, and Stunt Training. Specific details and arrangements must be made in advance by discussing with our master instructor, Dai Sifu Berat Uylukçu.


Participants have the flexibility to choose the duration of their camp, whether it's a single day, a 2-day weekend camp, or a 7-day camp. Those interested in longer schedules can consult with Dai Sifu to create a program extending up to a maximum of 1 month. For instance, if you're coming from a distant city and aspire to become an instructor, you can undergo an intensive program, culminating in a test for instructorship within the Magnolia Kung-Fu Style. Or, if you're preparing for a historical series or film project, you can receive intensive Sword-and-Shield training to enhance your skills in Stage Combat.


You also have the option to request special group camps for your own group at different times. For instance, an instructor at any martial arts school can request a special camp for their students to receive superior training, and they can partake in a day camp, a 2-day camp, or a 7-day intensive training, while working closely with Dai Sifu Berat Uylukçu. This approach not only elevates the quality of instruction but also fosters stronger bonds of friendship and camaraderie between the instructor and students.


You can request and attend our private camps alone or with one or more acquaintances. For example, you can join with your spouse, sibling, or close friend for a fulfilling weekend. Alternatively, you can participate with your training partners from your martial arts school, addressing the specific aspects of training that you feel are lacking through personalized instruction from Dai Sifu.


Our campsite provides the option to camp under the trees in a secure garden area, allowing you to be our guest at the camp center during your camp stay. This way, you can start your day with training, stay fully focused on your objectives, and engage in mental detox while enjoying a holiday at our camp center throughout the training period.
