The Italian Poon – Ze’ Association Team was established in 1989, in Vicenza, under the technical direction of the 6th degree Teacher Giuseppe Bon, as A.S.D. (Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica = Amatuers Sports Association). In this Chinese martial arts’ school many disciplines are practised:
Traditional Kung Fu (Shin dae Woung method), which includes Northern Shaolin and Tang Lang;
Traditional Tai chi chuan (ancient Yang style), encoded yang and chen.
Pakua, Hsing yi and Chi Kung;
Fighting sports: Sandà and Thai Boxing. The quest for a deeper knowledge and understanding of martial art has led the teacher in search of greater perfection and continued development, through many trips to China. In addition, he has collaborated with important Chinese teachers greatly enhancing martial arts’ development in Italy and Europe, as well as benefiting the Teacher’s own pupils.

“Buddha tells the following parable in a sutra:
A man travelling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger chasing after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine held him up. Two mice, one white and one black started to gnaw away at the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. Ahh, how sweet it tasted!”
