Since ever I had a great passion for nature and outdoor activities. Starting hunting as child with my father in the wild backlands of Naples/Campania South Italy I soon learned the propper use of the knife, making sticks and also some basic, simple tradional methods of using thoose tools as a weapon if neccesary.
After some boxing training and trying some other martial arts, I seriously started in my late twenties to research and study the few still existing styles of traditional Italian knife and stick fighting.
Over many years my journey took me to serveral Masters and I was able to learn some almost lost cultural treasures of European martial art.
I startet this blog about 2012 to document my studies and with giving seminars and running my own martial arts school in Germany want to do my best to keep thoose methods alive.
