From October to December 2019, I taught Nickelstick Balintawak Eskrima in different places, to spread this efficient martial art in Italy.
First seminar held at the "Shotokan Karate Massa" Dojo (Tuscany) on October, 12 organized by Massimo Serrao Sensei, attended by 16 athletes. I must also thank Maestro Serrao for the numerous private lessons he follewed under my guidance.
Following, Saturday 19 October in Morbegno (SO), Italy organized by "Karate Shotokan Institute - IKS" of Sensei Martinalli Stefano, where 60 athletes participated, almost all of them at the first experience with Arnis.
Three appointments in Finale Ligure (SV) at the "Shomon" Dojo of Sensei Marco Rescigno, whom I thank for the trust, as well as I thank his students for the devotion. The first, on November 7, the second on December 17, and the third and last (two days before returning to Okinawa) on January 3, 2020 (the only one in 2020).
And finally, on December 12, in the Dojo "Karate Arma Taggia" (IM) of Sensei Valentina Sabia, also in this case all the participants at the first experience with eskrima.
In addition, I thank Sensei Pompeo Ungaro and Sensei Stefano Martinalli for participating in private lessons, and for the official entry of their Dojos into my Academy (Okinawa Ryuibukan Academy) for the Eskrima sector.
