Owner and Founder
Hannes van den Berg’s martial arts journey began in 1989 when he started training in Shun Wu Tang Kung Fu under the guidance of the late Shifu Charles Gouws. These early years laid a strong foundation in discipline, technique, and the deeper philosophy of martial arts.
After a brief hiatus to pursue his studies and complete his military service, Hannes returned to martial arts with renewed dedication just after turning 30. His passion for the art led him to continue training under Shifu Malcolm Hanson, a 7th-degree black belt and the highest-ranking Western practitioner in their style.
Today, Hannes has accumulated over 20 years of experience as both a practitioner and instructor. He regularly participates in international training camps under the esteemed Grand Master Su Chin Miel from Taiwan, further refining his skills and deepening his understanding of martial arts.
Through Martial Arts Gear, Hannes shares his lifelong passion by providing top-quality equipment and gear, helping fellow martial artists reach their full potential in their training.
