  • Born 1966 in Zurich, Switzerland.
  • Marketing Manager, Dätwyler Electronics.
  • Master 'Dashi', head of the KIEN KUN Gong Fu School Otranto.

Thanks to experience gathered in practice, thinking and teaching, Stephan Näpfer knows how to bring the timeless values contained in Gongfu ever and again to life. This endeavour culminates in his Chan lessons, in which - even more than in his lessons generally - he succeeds in spreading his joy of life.

An essay under the title of 'Gong Fu - a Small Idea' (1994) accompanies his work.
