About
Sifu Jani Somrak
Founder of Shan Feng Kung Fu. Wing Chun practitioner, teacher of a different school of martial arts thought — one that takes Wing Chun as its root and extends it into a complete framework for helping human development.
Mission
A New School of Martial Arts Thought
Shan Feng Kung Fu began as a question: what does Wing Chun actually teach us, if we follow its principles without compromise? The answer became a system — one that extends beyond self-defence into a complete framework for developing the human being. Wing Chun is the origin. Shan Feng is the interpretation. The mission is to make that interpretation available to anyone willing to examine themselves honestly.
Mental Stability
Cultivating a practitioner who is mentally stable — able to remain present and composed under pressure, in conflict, and in daily life.
Emotional Balance
Developing emotional intelligence through the physical practice — learning to recognize, accept, and consciously navigate internal states.
Physical Vitality
Building a body that is strong, efficient, and resilient — not through force, but through correct alignment, relaxation, and intelligent movement.
The Instructor
Sifu Jani Somrak
Sifu Jani Somrak started his martial arts journey with Tae Kwon Do in 1993. He began his Wing Chun training in 1999. under Sifu Horvat and has been teaching since 2004. In 2017. he received his Sifu title from Sifu Emin Boztepe — one of the most prominent Wing Chun practitioners in the world. He has served as a resident martial artist at the Confucius Institute in Zagreb and as a long-term self-defence instructor at the Department of Kinesiology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb.
Shan Feng Kung Fu is the synthesis of that journey. It is not a departure from Wing Chun — it is what Wing Chun becomes when you refuse to stop asking why. The goal is not to produce fighters. It is to develop whole human beings who understand themselves better through the practice of martial art.
"The martial art is a mirror. What you are able to face on the mat, you will be able to face in life."
The Humanistic Perspective
The Body as Mirror of the Mind
Shan Feng's humanistic perspective starts from the assumption that everyone carries within them a unique architecture and strength that only needs to be made conscious. Wing Chun provides the structural language. Shan Feng expands the martial arts technique into a complete philosophy of life, connecting physical training with mental strength and the way we handle everyday life.
Through deep understanding of biomechanics, the practitioner does not impose unnatural movements on the body, but learns to listen to its structure — because with correct alignment of bones and tendons, muscular effort becomes fluid, with minimal resistance and energy inefficiency. The body here is only a mirror of the mind.
