We strongly believe in the power of education resulting from the discipline of martial arts, prepared by our sensei Nello Brocani that in 1994 he received the title of 5th dan in Wado-ryu style through the federation Fitak now become the current Fijlkam. In the belief that there is no one perfect martial art but there is only one good practitioner, we believe in Karate over styles and more generally in the martial arts as a way that can teach us how to overcome the most formidable opponent: ourselves.

My Philosophy

I always use to say to my students that a fight is the expression of this in the body of the mind and consciousness.
Also consider fundamental to the study of poetry that allows the practitioner to find an expression suited to his own nature.These are all useful tools for a fighter, in fact, a fight is nothing but a poem made ​​with the body that becomes his pencil, the mind becomes his technique, and consciousness is mixed to honor his courage without which no action can be effective

And as a sort of handbook for daily life that martial arts and Eastern philosophy applied to practical thinking will accompany us and make it possible to disentangle even with some success in the jungle of modern life.
Is customary for me to move from a first learning approach on the mat in the dojo to practice applied in the common life which is the real place where the martial arts have reason to be.

My Equipment

During the activity of Essenza Onlus we have designed and developed several projects that have brought us into contact with different realities of human society.

In particular, we have worked with vulnerable people and with not Italian communities, such as the Tibetan community. We have also prepared synergistic projects with local bodies in defense of the woman for the violence suffered by them, and worked with the prisoners to provide them with a full life even under the sporting and cultural.
