The saying "FIRST SEE NAPELS THAN YOU CAN DIE" was not created for nothing.

Then the second welcomed surprise arrived "THE FOOD" jokes were made during the two days that it was the first time that there was more eating then teaching done.

The first day of the seminar was held in Aversa in the School of Master Pietro D'Alesio for instructors only

The instructors were taken through several devastating Kam Na techniques as taught by Grandmaster Sergio Iadarola, Grandmaster Rene Latosa took the students through the base of his Escrima system.
