Martial Education<\/h1>\n

To pursue the Way…<\/h3>\n

A path, whatever it may be, has an origin, a development, obstacles along the way and a more or less satisfying epilogue.<\/p>\n

The martial practice lacks this last part: no matter how long the search may be, once we have taken the Way, we\u2019ll follow it for life. It won\u2019t be an obligation, it won\u2019t be a commitment… Simply, we will feel the need to continue exploring this seemingly infinite world that is the Martial Art. And we will do so accompanied by the progressive and growing awareness of \u201cnot knowing\u201d: there is no end to self-exploration.
I chose Martial Arts as an instrument to investigate myself, overcome my limits and probe my mind. Although, of course, I\u2019ve realized that over the years. <\/p>\n

At the beginning it was a deep passion, a impetus that was born from the heart, the desire to know these ancient oriental arts and make them mine…<\/h5>\n

With time, between unique encounters and exciting trips, I ended up discovering the vocation for teaching! In assisting my teachers I acquired more and more skills, until I felt sufficiently prepared to open my first independent school. The course was a success, so I did not delay in broadening my horizons, opening other branches throughout the province. <\/p>\n

In 2019 I gathered all my schools under the emblem of W\u01d4 D\u00e0o Du\u00ec<\/strong> (reads \u201cvu d\u00e0o du\u00e9i\u201d), the Martial Way Team<\/strong>, whose raison d’\u00eatre is extensively explored in the dedicated page!<\/p>\n

I started practicing Kung Fu at the age of seven, but for some reason I didn\u2019t find what I was looking for. Honestly, today I don\u2019t remember much of that first experience, which lasted about a year. All I know is that the village where I was born at the time had nothing else to offer in martial arts, so I fell back on swimming, skiing in winter, and basketball courts, integrated with some acrobatic gymnastics lessons. <\/p>\n

At the age of 15 I finally got to approach the G\u014dj\u016b-ry\u016b Karate<\/strong>, a Japanese style that, like the most famous Chinese Wing Chun, comes from the ancient Kung Fu style of White Crane. Here I faced the first competitive experiences, both in Kata and in Kumite. <\/p>\n

After only two years of training I decided to switch to a Chinese style, the Shaolin Kung Fu<\/strong>, at the school Hu Long Wushu Kung-Fu, under the guidance of Giulio Betti<\/em> and Fabrizio Martinuzzi<\/em>. Suddenly I recognized myself in the discipline practiced! <\/p>\n

Throughout this wonderful journey, I had the opportunity to explore other styles within the vast spectrum of Chinese Kung Fu, such as the imitative styles of the Mantis<\/strong> (Tang Lang Quan<\/strong>, with Master Mario Piccon<\/a><\/em>i) and the Leopard<\/strong> (Master Shaosong Huang<\/a><\/em>); Sanda<\/strong> or Sanshou<\/strong> with my friend and instructor Michele Batazzi<\/a><\/em> and with Master Shi Yan Hui;<\/em><\/a> as well as Qi Gong<\/strong> and Zhan Zhuang<\/strong> (breathing and stillness exercises combined with ideomotor training).<\/p>\n

But the desire to put myself in the game was only increasing, so I tested new disciplines such as Muay Thai<\/strong>, with Giorgio Petrosyan<\/a>,<\/em> and the Russian Systema<\/strong>, with Master Andrey Karimov<\/a><\/em>. Although they were brief experiences, I realized that these genres were not in my wheelhouse. <\/p>\n

To provide for the technical lack of sports combat, often excluded from the training sessions of traditional disciplines (in Italy), I started a parallel path with Kickboxing<\/strong>, under the guidance of my friends and instructors Iacopo Franci<\/em> and Riccardo Mura<\/em>. However, I have excluded the competitive practice, in order to be able to dedicate myself simultaneously to other traditional styles. <\/p>\n

In fact, during my university studies, I had the opportunity to train with Master Giacomo De Angelis<\/em>, three years of hard work on the Wing Chun<\/strong> style, including an approach to the basics of Meihua Quan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Later I dedicated myself to the Chinese Kenpo<\/strong> with the Master Raffaele Bernabei<\/em><\/a>, but I was forced to stop at the rank of blue belt due to the incompatibiliy with my work timetable.<\/span><\/p>\n

I then invested two years in the study of Aikido<\/strong>, with Master Stefano Bartoli<\/a><\/em>, by now in abstinence from the Japanese styles rigor! The same personal commitments have unfortunately forced me to leave the dojo after only two exams, as was the case for the course of Shaolin Wugulun<\/strong>, which I could only start with Master Marco Pallassini<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, however, my kickboxing<\/b> training led me to achieve a second-degree black belt<\/b> with the FederKombat sports federation<\/a>; there, I also completed training courses to become first a coach<\/strong> and later an instructor<\/strong>, specializing in “Musical Forms<\/b>“\u2014a discipline closer to the traditional styles I hold dear, yet one that encompasses diverse areas such as acrobatics and the use of weapons. <\/span><\/div>\n

Nel 2019 ho esplorato due nuovi mondi: quello dell’Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga<\/strong>, sotto la guida esperta di Tamara Klauza<\/a>, e quello del Jujutsu giapponese <\/b>(Dait\u014d-Ry\u016b Aikij\u016bjutsu<\/b> e Katori Shint\u014d-ry\u016b<\/strong>), con l’amico e istruttore Jacopo Brogi<\/i><\/a> e il M\u00b0 Roberto Granati,<\/em><\/a> fermandomi al grado di cintura verde.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I continued to deepen my study of traditional Kung Fu<\/strong> through intensive workshops with masters such as Liu Peng<\/a><\/em> and Andrea Nardi.<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, I never stopped practicing Qi Gong<\/strong> and Zhan Zhuang<\/strong> daily, aspiring to achieve the perception and harmony typical of Chinese internal martial arts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A huge thank you goes to Michele Meloni, President of A.S.D. Taki no Kan<\/a> (the event’s organizing association), and to the aforementioned Masters Roberto Granati, Raffaele Bernabei, and Corrado Pitini. <\/p>\n
