I began to approach Taiji Quan in 1983 at the age of 23 years. I was fascinated by what I found written in the books. An art that could be practiced and started at any time in life.

CURRICULUM VITAE OF THE MASTER FLAVIO TONIOLO
A journey started at 23 years old
With M ° Li Rong Mei I studied the sword individually on several occasions and I deepen the study of codified forms. Student of the Grand Master Fu Zhong Wen who he invited to Italy in September 1993. During the lessons with Fu Zhong Wen I lived within me the most beautiful memories of Taiji Quan. I heard all the lessons of all my previous teachers repeating themselves in a single lesson. In that wise old man, who attracted me very much, I felt myself when still in the gym I repeat continuously: track, basin, head hanging, shoulders, hands, elbows and more. I was moved. I teach since 1989 dedicating myself with dedication and commitment, as I am convinced that the training and growth of my students helps to feed mine. I practice daily.
I follow M ° Hou Tie Cheng annually and only with individual lessons from 2012: he is transmitting all his knowledge of over 50 years of study and teaching. Being a direct transmission from a Chinese master to a "non-Chinese" is rare, I feel very honored. Just as I feel very honored to have received the disciple's document of Grand Master Hou Tie Cheng by joining the 6th generation of Taiji Quan of the Yang family.
My training and current work
My training took place exclusively with individual lessons, therefore with a direct transmission report.
The masters I normally quote I attended for a minimum period of 2 years with weekly or fortnightly meetings at the most. When I started Taiji Quan I knew that from master to master there are also sensible differences of movement while practicing the same style. Therefore, evaluating and ascertaining the good source of acquisition of that master and the quality of Taiji Quan that I learned from him (note that all my masters enjoyed a minimum twenty-year experience) I decided to devote all my efforts to studying and personal study of what has been learned.

"The humility of the master Flavio has always fascinated me. I think he is one of the best teachers we have in Italy and in Europe. I am proud to learn from him".
Marina Stanghellini - Taiji Quan Structure
I've had the extreme pleasure of studying Tai Chi at Flavio's organization and am also looking forward to this year's practice. His teachers are well versed and particularly talented at presenting both the physical as well as spiritual aspects of Tai Chi.
His courses are perfectly executed for all levels of expertise and ages.
