Short biography

At the age of eleven, Andrea Schnell began to be interested in the Chinese martial art, which in this country is known as Kung Fu (literal translation: "achieving a goal through hard work"). The lessons at that time also contained elements and techniques of American kickboxing. At the age of fourteen she demonstrated her skills in pointfighting for the first time on international soil. The highlight of her thirty-year career to date : the world championship title at the AFSO World Championship in Paris (2012).

She holds the second master's degree in both kung fu and kickboxing. In May 2015 she opened her own martial arts school in Kempen, North Rhine-Westphalia, and has already produced several German masters.
