Giuseppe Di Pace

The pioneer of Kick Boxing in Sicily

Pino, peace comes from a modest family of workers, the first of eight children, from an angle of as many cities there are in Palermo who do not give a choice for young people, but he and his brothers know the sweat of front, to exit certain environments begins with practicing Aikido, it is only a 6 year old boy and like all children, has his dreams come true.

Having really want to do, go to Wado Karate style Rju, a discipline that the young PEACE devoted himself for 10 years under the guidance of Edward PRAVATA ', not thinking that one day could come where today, with so much effort and humility has earned a place among the great, not only as a sport but also as a person.

Coming from Karate, after a long pilgrimage to Italy, brings Kick Boxing in Sicily, where since then the deeds of his students are known throughout Italy and Europe.

Form a Team Point Fighters, were part of Franco Vitale, Laurent Dably, Tony Cardella, Goofy Tinirello, Angelo Meschis, Toti Priano and Sergio Portaro, called "The Warriors" team wherever they had to compete was snapped up victories, the to be feared throughout Italy, and the calls of the Clubs throughout the country for the Master PEACE grew more and more ', thanks to the technical skills that the Master has mixed with an office interior that sets it apart.

Through his deeds and those of his students failed to disclose the Kick Boxing for Sicily where today there is not his student teaching this discipline.

 

It is in 1986 A. S. "FIRST STAR" Sports Club today affirmed at the highest levels of the organization, through which it aims to promote the sport by fighting in the European and World character, organizes several stages required to sample international level among which Bill Wallace, Jean Marc Tonus, Fred Royers, Howard Brawn, Dev Barret, Kash Gill, Franz Haller, Rinaldo Rinaldi, Federico Marchini, Didier Le Borghe, Mourad Djebli and Yldrim Svat.

 

After a few years of absence due to personal obstacles Master of Peace Joseph, back in the ring the boys of First Star Team in Palermo, confirming the high level of technical, competitive and athletic that has always characterized the students of the Master PEACE: Italian Championships held in Rimini June 16, 2002, rookie (if that can 'be defined having regard to the result) Emanuele HUNT achievement in the 91kg + category. , The title in Thai Boxing in Full Contact and Kick Boxing (Unfortunately later died from a serious illness).

 

The Master of Peace, in fact it may be, in its own right, one of the pioneers of Karate Contact in Italy and is still is considered the one who introduced the practice of the disciplines derived Island and especially, of Kick Boxing , Thai Boxing.

 

So we remind young people that only recently have approached to the disciplines of the ring, and for the Pino (so 'in fact call the students to which it is linked by a loving relationship that certainly goes beyond the boundaries of the ordinary between coach and athlete)

 

The vocation to fight is a genetic trait, but what, in the opinion of the writer, distinguishes the Master of Peace from many others and, more generally, if you want to specify the qualification federal, the many talented instructors from the few teachers are human qualities and character.

 

The ability to inspire courage, self-confidence, determination, security of their superiority over the enemy, that is, to create the "Winning mentality" without which you can not step into the ring or, even less, become champion, make Giuseppe Di Peace, 8th Dan Black Belt, an excellent trainer of athletes, as well as a true brother.

 

For about two or three years at his side the Son of Carmel, thirty Black Belt 5 Dan Kick Boxing, Thai Boxing, continue the path set by the Father, refining the techniques of combat.

Vincent C. Palumbo

The one motto that I always try to follow in my life are these following very inspirational words-

GOOD, BETTER, BEST

NEVER LET IT REST

UNTIL YOUR GOOD IS BETTER

AND YOUR BETTER IS BEST!

 

I was born on the 4th of November in 1965,  and I grew up in the city of Adelaide which is in the state of South Australia, and ever since I was about 8 years of age, I acquired

a real passion for the Martial Arts, and this quest for knowledge has led me on a journey all round the world to practice and gain more knowledge in the Asian Fighting Arts.

And now at 45 years of age, it has led me to become a Grand Master, and a 20 times World Champion in Filipino Full Contact Sport Stickfighting, and I've won a Pro-Boxing

World Title in 2004 for the IKBBF middleweight category of this sacioning body.

 

I have taught martial arts in Philippines, USA, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Italy, Poland, Malaysia, Switzerland, Singapore and in the United Kingdom, so all of

the participants at my seminars really enjoyed my approach to reality based combat training.

 

I began my training at age 8, starting out in the basics of boxing and gymnastics, and by age of 10,  so then I made up my mind to learn the basics of Combat Judo/Jujitsu.

By the time I was 15 years of age, I started training in Freestyle Karate, and I achieved the rank of Black Belt by my 18th birthday, and at 21 years of age I began competing in the combat sport arena, and since my first full-contact fight, and I have won a multitude of Regional, State, National, and International titles in the different combat sport disciplines.

 

I know what its like to be in the heat of a full contact fight, and I know what its also like to train very hard in preparation for such an event, because I’ve been a fighting warrior

in the combat sports fighting for over 25 years, and I would like to continue competing rite up to my 50th birthday, that would be quite a personal achievement for myself.

 

I have had a lot of experience in the combat sport arena, and I have achieved many awards, so here are some just to name a few of them:

 

• South Australian Full Contact Karate Champion

• South Australian, Australian, South Pacific and World Full Contact Stickfighting Champion

• South Australian Submission Grappling Champion

• South Australian and Australian Shootboxing Champion

• South Australian, South Pacific and World Pro-Boxing Champion

• Australian Full-Contact Kung Fu Champion

• Australian Toughman Title

 

I've had over 300 full-contact fights in the ring, and I've competed in Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Boxing, Grappling and Stickfighting tournaments all over the world.

My list of martial arts achievements are also quite notable too,  because I was inducted into the Blitz Martial Arts Magazine Hall of Fame awards in 2003, and I went on to win

the award as “Best Freestyle Martial Arts Instructor in Australia.”

 

And for the South Australian Boxing Association I was named as the "Best Amateur Boxer in South Australia" in 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2000, then when I turned Professional I won the IKBBF Professional Middleweight World Boxing Champion Title in 2004.

I own the International Combative Martial Arts Academy, which is located at 96a Grange road Welland, South Australia 5007.

www.docepares.com/icma.htm

 

I am a student of the 92 year old Supreme Grandmaster Cacoy Canete of Cebu City in the Philippines, and in all the years that I've been training in the martial arts, I have also reached the following rank levels in these other styles:

• 10th Dan Cacoy Doce Pares Eskrima

• 9th Dan Filipino Pangamot Jiujitsu

• 8th Dan Arjukanpo Karate

• 8th Dan Combat Jujitsu

• 6th Dan Korean Karate

 

It may appear that I have no time for anything else apart from my martial arts training, but I can assure you that this is not correct, because I really enjoy my free time with my beautiful family, and I enjoy dining out in wonderful restaurants with family and friends.

I also like going to see movies at the cinema, as a matter of fact, I have been asked to appear in 3 martial art movies, and also created the fight choreography for the scenes in-

“FINAL COMBAT”

“CONFESSIONS OF A PIT FIGHTER!”

"BIRTH OF A WARRIOR"

 

The most influential person in my life as a martial artist would have to be Supreme Grandmaster Cacoy Canete of Cebu City in the Philippines, because he's a real legend!.

 

This wonderful man has passed on so much knowledge to me over the many years that I’ve been his student, and this knowledge has led me to become a World Champion in Filipino Stickfighting, also a Grand Master in the Cacoy Doce Pares Eskrima and Cacoy Pangamot Filipino Jiu Jitsu,  and I was elevated to these ranks by this very special man, so I will be forever grateful to this incredible martial artist from the Philippines.
