In this article, I want to share something important with you — not only as a teacher, but first of all as a fellow practitioner on the same path.

Over the years, one thing has become very clear to me:real progress in internal energy practice comes from experience, not from theory.And sometimes, experience needs the right environment to happen.

That is why I decided to organize something special for my students — an intensive in-person event in Italy, together with my teacher, Shifu Costantino Valente.

Not because I want to create something spectacular.But because I know, from my own journey, how powerful it is to practice together and to receive direct guidance when it truly matters.

Why I Chose to Do This

My goal as a teacher is very simple:to help you improve in the energy practice as effectively and honestly as possible.

I practice every day not only to teach, but to make sure that what I share comes from direct experience. And no matter how much effort and dedication I put into this path, one thing will always remain true:my teacher will always know more than me.

He has decades of experience in internal training and martial arts.But more importantly, I know the kind of human being he is — his ethics, his way of teaching, his simplicity.

That is why I felt it was the right moment to bring my students closer to that source.Not to create hierarchy. Not to build images.But to offer a real opportunity for growth.

The Importance of Practicing Together

Many practitioners train alone. And this is natural — internal work is, by its nature, a solitary process. But there is a limit to what we can understand by ourselves.

Sometimes we think we are using the body correctly.We think we are rooted, stable, aligned.We think we are doing everything right.

But without interaction, without testing, without feedback, we simply don’t know.

That is why this event is built around practice in pairs:

Qi Gong partner work
Tai Chi exercises adapted for internal development
Physical contact to understand structure, balance, and internal connection

Not to compete.Not to show anything.But to feel what we are really doing.

This kind of validation is essential. It helps us move from imagination to reality.

Experiencing Energy Directly

Another important aspect of this event is giving students a direct reference point.

Many people talk about energy.Few people experience it in a tangible way.

During this intensive, I will personally guide students through:

Fa Qi demonstrations
Opening of energy channels
Stimulation of the Dantians

Not to impress anyone — but to offer something far more important:clarity.

When you feel energy directly, many doubts disappear.You stop wondering what you are working toward — you simply know.

And once you have that reference, your daily practice changes completely.

Learning Without Creating Images

In our school, we keep things simple on purpose. We do not build complex theories.We do not encourage imagination. We do not create mystical narratives.

We practice.Then we verify through experience. Then we clarify with the teacher.And we move on.

This is exactly the approach behind this event.

You will not come to learn concepts. You will come to practice, test, feel, and refine. Because real understanding in Nei Gong does not come from the mind.It comes from what happens in the body, in the breath, in the nervous system, in the awareness.

Meeting My Teacher

One of the reasons I truly wanted to organize this is to introduce you to my teacher — not as a figure on a pedestal, but as he really is. A simple human being. Quiet. Direct. Humble.

In the spiritual and energy world, many people talk a lot.Very few actually practice deeply. Those who truly practice rarely feel the need to speak about it.

This simplicity has been one of the greatest lessons of my own path.And I want you to see it with your own eyes.

About the Event

This intensive will take place in Gaeta, Italy, in June.

We will work on:

Internal training through Qi Gong and Tai Chi partner practice
Body usage and internal coordination
Energy perception and refinement
Fa Qi and energetic experience
Opening of channels and internal stimulation
Practical tools you can take home and use in your daily training

It is also an opportunity to spend a few days in a beautiful place —combining focused practice with rest, simplicity, and presence.

Who Can Join

This event is reserved for my students. If you are already a student, you are welcome to join.If you are not yet a student but feel that this resonates with you, you can still become one by attending one of my online classes before the event.

The group will be small, because the quality of work matters more than numbers.

Once the spots are filled, registration will close.

A Final Word

I don’t see myself as a master. I see myself as an advanced practitioner walking the same road. The path of internal energy is long. And in many ways, it never ends.

That is why moments like this matter —moments where we stop being isolated practitioners and become a real practice community, even if only for a few days.

If this feels right for you, I invite you to join us.

Not to collect experiences. Not to chase sensations. But to practice together, honestly and simply.
