About
Riccardo Di Vito

Researcher, practitioner and Master of Martial Arts. His greatest passion, which then turned into a real job, is in the field of martial arts. Since 1998 he has dedicated most of his days to the study and practice of Wing Chun Kung Fu, a martial art from Southern China. In 2011 he turned professional, teaching throughout Italy and becoming the representative and trainer for instructors for Master Lin Xiang Fu. In 2013 he was welcomed into the family, through the Bai Shi, a traditional ceremony in which he becomes his own "children". From there he was able to learn the most secret and hidden knowledge of the school, which is called Hek Ki Boen Eng Chun Pai (Family of the Lodge of the Black Flag who wants the Restoration of Spring). The Master gave it the traditional name Lín Róng Sài (林 容 賽), which means Famous for Competitiveness. In 2014, also supported by his wife, Daniela, he invested more than 90 thousand euros to open the first professional school in Rome, which would soon become the first sports club totally dedicated to this art. For 5 years, until 2019, he received 1200 enrollment applications to practice with him, touched 500 students and trained 12 instructors, who opened courses throughout Italy. He decided to close in June 2019, following some reflections that you can read in his book or on his website. He still teaches a small group of dedicated, faithful and disciplined students.
