I started practicing Wing Chun in 1987, but only in 1989, during an internship in Italy, Imet my Sifu Nino Bernardo. I lived in London from July 1989 to November 1991, two years where I trained for 5 hours a day in my sifu of legendary Kwon: The Basement. Back in Italy I started to teach a group of students what I had learned at theBasement: Wing Chun and the Filipino Eskrima. After becoming a sifu in 1997, I continued to follow my teacher until shortly before the birth of my son, in August 2000, after that time our paths have separated.
