Shotokan Karate

I started training karate since I was very young, there was a brand-new dojo in my village, and I was curious.

I always managed to follow shotokan, one of the most traditional styles of karate. In this long period I stepped in many dojos and associations in different cities and countries, learning shotokan from different perspectives:

• 1989-2005: Shin dojo (Costabissara). My first dojo with Paolo Scapin (FIKTA (ITKF), FESIK (WUKO)). In this context I participated to regional and some national competitions (I was several time regional champion in kumite and once reached a third place in kumite in a national competition).
• 2006-2010 Almozara Sport Club (Zaragoza, Spain)
• 2012-2016 and 2019-2021 DimensioneK, with Roberto Napoli (FIKTA (ITKF)) (Turin, Italy)
• 2016-2019 Deai De Troch Claude (JKA) (Ottignies, Belgium)
• 2021-today: Karate Bushido Schio with Daniela De Pretto (FIK) (Schio, Italy).
