Emin Boztepe, born on July 17, 1962, in Eskişehir, Turkey, is a renowned martial artist and the founder of the Emin Boztepe Martial Arts System (EBMAS). Raised in Germany from the age of four, Boztepe faced challenges growing up, which led him into street fights and subsequently into martial arts.

Boztepe began his martial arts journey at 14, exploring various disciplines including judo, Shotokan karate, wrestling, Muay Thai, and boxing. He was particularly drawn to Wing Chun after witnessing a demonstration by Keith R. Kernspecht in Kiel, Germany, in 1980. His skills in Wing Chun led him to train under Kernspecht and later under Leung Ting, the grandmaster of the Wing Tsun system.

He explored various disciplines before dedicating himself to Wing Chun after witnessing a demonstration in 1980.

After decades of training, Boztepe established EBMAS in 2001, focusing on Wing Tzun and Escrima.

His system emphasizes practical self-defense techniques, drawing from his extensive experience in martial arts. EBMAS has grown to have a significant global presence, operating in over 50 countries.

The organization has trained elite units like the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, U.S. Marines, SWAT, and the Los Angeles Police Department, showcasing its practical and effective training methodologies.

Boztepe's influence extends through thousands of students and numerous schools worldwide, where his philosophy of rigorous, daily training and real-life application of martial arts principles is taught.

Beyond martial arts, he has also ventured into acting, appearing in films like "Shootfighter: Fight to the Death" and "Panzehir." His global EBMAS network stands as a testament to his impact in the martial arts community, advocating for both the avoidance of conflict and decisive action when necessary.
