SUMMER CAMP 2026

Weekend from June 12 to 14, 2026

We live in a time when the pursuit of knowledge has gradually become a constant accumulation of information. People search for new tools, new explanations, new solutions. They move easily from one practice to another, often without giving themselves the time needed to truly understand its depth.

In internal arts, concepts are only the surface. What matters is not how much you know, but your willingness to be changed by your practice. The aim is not to find something new, but to form a real connection with a path, teaching, and supportive community.

Today, the desire to be guided along a path is becoming increasingly rare. A teacher is often sought for content, but not always for accompaniment in a process of growth. People join a school to learn a method, without fully grasping the transformative value of the relationships that school makes possible.

The Summer Camp was created specifically to address this absence.

It is the most important event of the year in the DECODE world: a moment when practice moves beyond the fragmented dimension of individual meetings and becomes a continuous, shared, lived experience. For several days, practitioners from different countries come together in a common space, where bodywork, personal research, and human connection naturally intertwine. A context in which time slows down, allowing for deeper exploration, greater clarity, and true assimilation.

At the Summer Camp, it is possible to meet and engage with students who have only just begun their path, as well as practitioners who have been following Maestro Mauro Antonino D’Angelo for more than 20 years. This coexistence of different levels and experiences creates a rare environment in which learning takes place not only through direct teaching but also through observation, exchange, and shared experience.

For those approaching the DECODE project for the first time, the Summer Camp offers a valuable opportunity to experience Maestro D’Angelo’s work firsthand, explore the practice of Internal Alchemy in concrete terms, and understand the deeper meaning of this path. Not as theory, but as direct experience.

For DECODE students, it is an essential appointment. A moment to synthesise and consolidate the work carried out throughout the year, but also an opportunity to rediscover momentum, motivation, and clarity.

Summer Camp is more than a seminar. It is an immersive experience that leaves a clear mark on your practice and direction. If you are ready to deepen your understanding and embark on this transformative journey, we invite you to join us at the next Summer Camp.

MAD - Mauro Antonino D'Angelo

For nearly thirty years, Master D’Angelo has devoted his life exclusively to the research, practice, and teaching of traditional disciplines aimed at the development of both mind and body (Chinese martial arts, Qi Gong, meditation, and Yoga). He has traveled extensively around the world to learn from masters of previous generations, refine his skills, and deepen his understanding. Today, he shares this experience with all those who seek to transform their perspective on martial arts and enhance the quality of their everyday life.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Activation and Practice with Wooden Clubs

Practice sessions dedicated to the progressive activation of the body through bodyweight exercises and the use of traditional training tools, such as wooden clubs. These tools are not used merely for strengthening, but as a means to integrate internal qualities. The result is an active, unified body, ready for action, with a more stable presence and a greater ability to transfer the qualities developed into the following stages of practice.

气沉丹田 (Qi Chen Dan Tian)

Allowing the Qi to sink and gather in the lower Dan Tian, until it becomes the living center from which every movement originates. Through Rou Dan Tian and Qi Chen Tu Na Gong, participants will enter the depth of internal alchemy, transforming the Dan Tian from a theoretical concept into a concrete functional hub for the organization of the body. The cultivation of the Dan Tian is approached through converging perspectives—anatomical function, Daoist alchemical tradition, and philosophical insight—integrated into a single, coherent and experiential process.

整劲连动 (Zheng Jin Lian Dong)

A limited number of elements, organized into an essential and dense sequence, become a living ground for verification, where the more subtle internal qualities emerge, reveal themselves, and take form. Through the concatenation of different elements, the work focuses on the dynamics of force emission and the logic of structural unity, in alignment with the fundamental qualities of the internal arts. Participants will discover how force ceases to arise from isolated points and instead manifests as the expression of a fully integrated, global connection.
