His passion for this discipline led him to travel all over the world, to meet and study with the Masters of the past generation. Thirty years of dedication exclusively to the research, practice and teaching of traditional martial arts.

During his long career he has devoted himself to the study and teaching of different styles of Kung Fu, including Wing Chun, Tai Ji Quan and Ba Gua Zhang.

Always passionate about Eastern culture and internal practices, he has been living in Shanghai, China, for many years, where he continues his research and teaching of traditional martial arts, also collaborating with major Chinese companies through events and seminars. He is formally part of the fourth generation of the “Great Achievement” (Da Cheng Quan) tradition and of the Miao Dao sword lineage (within the Tong Bei Quan and Pi Gua Quan family). These traditions have always sought to preserve and pass on the values of traditional martial arts, combining practices dedicated to transformation and psycho-physical refinement.
