About a Qualified Tai Chi and Health Qigong Instructor

Belgian-Italian from Belgium, I have mainly lived in Marbella, Costa del Sol in Spain where I started Shaolin Kung Fu & Qigong in 2005 with ShiFu Pedro Estévez after a long stay in Hong Kong which made me want to start.  

Six years later, I moved to France where I have been teaching Kung Fu to adults and children below the teaching of master Remi Huynh Hoareau. As he also taught Taijiquan, I often stayed after my classes to watch them practice until the day I decided to try a few Taiji classes.  After discovering the benefits it brought me, I stayed hooked on Tai Chi, which quickly became my new passion.

After having decided to prepare myself to become a Tai Chi Instructor, I found Lu Yun Ling in Belgium who helped me going into this direction. He initiated me to the Chen style Taijiquan, to Taiji championships, taught me the competitions forms and to improve my internal side of Taiji. 

While I was preparing my own Tai Chi classes between Marbella and Sotogrande, I found Jorge Riscardoni from Algeciras. He improved my level in Tai Chi of Chen Ziqiang style until I became Champion of Spain and 5e at the EWUF European Championships in Chen style. 

In 2020, while looking for a way to improve my teaching way in Tai Chi, I found Faye Li Yip, daughter of the famous professor Li Deyin, and her husband Tary Yip from the Deyin Taijiquan Institute and Health Qigong Association in UK. 

While teaching online to my own students, with Tary & Faye, I improved my skills dramatically, learned many new forms, new styles and followed instructor courses to become a certified Deyin Instructor and Duan 3 in Health Qigong.
