Martial Arts
A life style

I began performing martial arts, when I was 14, by attending a course of Ju Jitsu, a discipline I have been practicing for several years.

In 1994 I had the chance of meeting Teacher Davide Gardella during his trainings. I became immediately fascinated by the characteristic fighting techniques performed in Tae Kwon Do, based on very spectacular performances of kicks. The following step was to subscribe and attending trainings of this new martial art for my personal experience. Differences between Ju Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do appeared evident, since Tae Kwon Do showed more dynamicity and allowed to efficiently develop the performances based on kicks. I obtained the Tae Kwon Do black belt 1° dan after constant trainings.

During this period of time, Teacher Davide Gardella began interesting in Jeet Kune Do, integrating trainings of this discipline in Tae Kwon Do ones. At that time further "enrichments" were coming from Sifu Ted Wong's seminars which Teacher Davide Gardella was attending to. My desire of enhancing my skill in Jeet Kune Do brought myself to attend a Sifu Ted Wong's seminar that was due in Turin, Italy, in 1998. In Turin I had also the precious chance of personally meeting Sifu Ted Wong and deeply appreciate the way he taught and divulged the Bruce Lee's art.

In 2004 I obtained the rank of Instructor Jeet Kune Do at the C.A.A.M. in Milan, Italy, followed by that of Teacher in 2008.

In June 2008 I had the deepest pleasure of attending the Summit in Orlando, FL, where Sifu Ted Wong had invited HIS ACKNOWLEDGED TEACHERS. It was a very important chance of personally meeting all the Teachers coming from different Countries, training with them and enriching my knowledge of the Jeet Kune Do.

I am now keeping on training with Teacher Davide Gardella at the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do - Genoa - Italy.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
