Veronika Partikova: Athlete, Fighter, Coach and Academic
Welcome to my Online Courses website. My name is Veronika and I started my martial arts journey in 1999. It is my life, my air, my love.
Several years ago I made a big life change, packed my backpack, and moved alone across the world to study Hung Kuen Kung Fu (Hung Gar Kung Fu) at the source. Later, I fell in love with MMA and now I am on my way to my professional debut.

My Kung Fu Family in Hong Kong
After training years in the Czech Republic, I moved to Hong Kong some 7 years ago to follow and learn directly from Wong Chung Man Sifu. Wong Sifu became me sifu, and I was "taken into his family" through a bai si ceremony. In this ceremony loyalty is promised and the student offers tea to the master. After the years, I became part of the Hong Kong almost only Chinese kung fu community. I am very grateful to be able to find this home where kung fu is our bridge when otherwise we cannot communicate with each other easily.
