Danger, Warning! Training at Nino's

Luke Donovan's experiences at the Kwoon.

HORRIBLE. SHIT! CRAP! STAY AWAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!
I had the crap smashed out of me on a daily basis and I still didn't learn how to beat people up!
Not only that, I was brainwashed and only thanks to seven months of deprogramming am I begining to put my life back together.
Believing that Nino was the new chinese messiah I walked of the cliffs overlooking Esvedra to prove I could fly.
Nino charged me 50 thousand euros for a supposed taoist breathing tecnique to boost sexual pefrormance that tuned out to involve blowing into a vacuum cleaner pipe. The swelling in my lips still hasn`t gone down!
A last word of advice. If aproached by an Austrian gigilo wearing a " FOLLOW ME " t-shirt, run. Run for your life.


But seriously folks...Budum pash.

I am honoured to recomend the Wing Chun kung-fu system as taught by Nino Bernardo. As a direct result of Nino´s instruction I have found a new balance of mind and body. Posture, strength, balance and flexability have all vastly improved eliminating back and neck pains brought on by poor posture and incorect guitar playing technique.

I am fascinated by the deep understand of the engineering of the human body contained in the system and the logical simplicity of its postures and movements. This has increased my enjojment and apreciation of arts such as dance and music.

Before I left spain to go travelling the world I was a singer in a rock band and I'm not afraid to admit that I would often lose control, and jump around like a demented monkey. Due to excessive movent and nervousness I would often become breathless while on stage and would have to fight to regain my breath. This was uncool and my singing suffered. Wing Chun teaches one to remain calm, relaxed and in control of oneself under pressure. I endevoured to take that attitude to the stage and became grounded, adopting a physical posture and a mental attitude that allowed the music to flow bringing the technical aspects of my performance, timing, tuning and delivery under my control. Instead of jumping around I now stood still as sang with smooth powerl content to let the the audience jump up and down. Instead of finishing a concert sweaty and tired I would now retire feeling like a triunfant samurai.
Thanks Nino.

A word of warning, training is highly addictive and enjoyable. You body and mind cry,"This is goooood! More. More! MORE!"
