Gela: Summer Camp Wing Tsun, three days together between theory and practice. Present the masters of the discipline. Final day at the “Gigliotto”
Two days of theoretical and practical activity, a conclusive event with the delivery of certificates and awards. The Wing Tsun Awta movement is growing in the city, as in Sicily. Gela hosted the Summer Camp 2019, organized by master Sifu Luca Damante, 7th G.S.
The now customary annual meeting of Sicilian Wing Tsun practitioners of the AWTA (Authentic Wing Tsun Academy), held (for four years now) at the Agriturismo Gigliotto took place last Sunday. Organized by Master SiFu Luca Damante and led by the head teacher the Grand Master Dai SiFu Michele Stellato. It was very crowded, children, young and old, continue to appear more and more in self-defense “with the awareness of their limits and the development of their potential”. With these cornerstones the seminar was developed so that we increasingly understand how to behave in a possible aggression. In the first hour of the seminar, which lasted for four hours, an Escrima lesson (use of weapons, stick, machete, knife, etc.) was treated by Master SiFu Luca Damante, who manages to make any object a lethal weapon , illustrating to those present how to use a “white” weapon to easily defend against dangerous attackers armed with a stick for example. Finally, in the following three hours, we passed the Wing Tsun lesson held by the Grand Master Dai SiFu Michele Stellato, who also examined many of the participating students. There is all this and much more inside Wing Tsun AWTA, self-defense favored by the versatility of a discipline that adapts to everyone regardless of age, gender and physical performance. “A very important and decisive element is the term versatility – says Master SiFu Luca Damante – which in the dissemination of Wing Tsun has been able to touch and tackle, for 25 years now, a problem common to all and extremely topical: the need for personal defense but above all legitimate. Here is one of the reasons for the continuous growth of this activity, which goes beyond martial art, which represents more a concept that is based on the awareness of one’s limits, initially, and a recognition and development of one’s potential, all in the context respect for the law, respect for one’s neighbor and respect for oneself ”These are the foundations for a better society that also starts from the individual who is able to stem the violent willing to sow panic and terrorize the weakest with little but efficacy.
