Biography Sifu Xenia Boettcher
Xenia Boettcher began to study Hokkian Siauw Lim Lo Ban Teng Pai in 1987
with Sifu Loahim in Berlin, Germany. In 1990 she travelled to Jakarta, Indonesia
to study with Grandmaster Lo Siauw Gok, who is the main representative of
that style and son of the famous Lo Ban Teng. The culmination of this
intensive course, was Xenia receiving her first masterdegree. The testing commitee
members were the most experienced masters of Hokkian Siauw Lim Pai. Xenia has
taught Hokkian Siauw Lim Pai and Qigong since 1991.
After her return, a heightened interest in martial arts brought her to Oyama
Kyokushinkai Karate. She studied with very experienced full contact fighters
including grandmaster Ingo Freier, Germany and Shihan Steve Arneil, Great
Britain. Xenia's strong focus on freefighting and sparring brought her to the
German International Kyokushinkai Karate Team. In 1997 Xenia won the German
Vice Championship in Kyokushinkai Fullcontact Karate.

brought her to the practise of Chen Taiji. She is an active member of the

principals that are displayed in her daily physical training.
