My story

My name is Marcelo, born in Manresa in 1988, a small city west of Barcelona.
It was that place where at the early age of 11 I began to practice Martial Arts, starting in Taekwondo, graduating with a brown belt.
Some setbacks led me to investigate more in martial arts and I discovered Kick Boxing, with which I started an intense physical training system, thus beginning my career as a fighter.
 

KUNG FU

My relentless pursuit of truth and understanding has always been a driving force in my life. After a few years of practicing kickboxing, I came to realize a deficiency within myself — a lack of discipline, values, and respect. At the age of 20, driven by this realization, I embarked on a journey to Asia to begin learning Kung Fu. Entering the Shaolin Temple, I found myself among genuine Buddhist warrior monks, hand in hand, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Since then, I have maintained this practice and philosophy of life, which continues to guide me to this day. While commonly referred to simply as Kung Fu, my training expanded to encompass holistic Buddhist/Taoist disciplines such as Tai Ji, Qi Qong, and Meditation.

 

MUAY THAI

I fell in love with Asia so deeply that I wanted to invest a part of myself there. I was captivated by its culture, way of life, and people. The impact on me was so profound that it led me to return and explore its ancient arts, which I had known but never practiced. This journey led me to Muay Thai, prompting me to move to Thailand initially for a year, which eventually became my home for around four years.

For over nine years, I have been dedicated to the teachings of Muay Thai and Kung Fu, traveling to China whenever possible to continue my studies and visit various masters. These disciplines, along with their philosophies and ways of life, are central to my daily routine, and I strive to convey their essence in my classes.

 

YOGA
Immersed in a tireless search for truth and authenticity in life, I sought to add more spirituality, health, and meaning to my journey. While practicing various disciplines, I discovered yoga. The impact of its practice on me, and the internal alchemy it develops, was profound. Inspired, I decided to travel to India multiple times, eventually making more than four trips to further integrate and specialize in the art of yoga. During these journeys, I completed my 500-hour RYT certification with the Yoga Alliance. To this day, yoga remains an essential part of my daily routine.

 

CHINESE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

In 2011, I began my Kung Fu training at the Shaolin Temple in China, where I unknowingly started my journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine. From 2011 to 2020, I traveled annually to continue my training, gradually realizing that Kung Fu is also an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Year after year, the monks and masters instilled in us this philosophy and medicine as a lifestyle, emphasizing that to understand this type of medicine, one must understand their way of living and thinking. After years of exposure to this ancient medicine and seeing people close to me dedicated to it, I decided in 2021 to officially certify myself as a therapist at the Wu Wei school in Barcelona. This school is connected to Taoist medicine and philosophy and affiliated with several Chinese medicine schools in China.

This certification allowed me to deeply understand what I had started 20 years ago and to properly help others.
 

I am a dreamer who believes that he can go wherever the mind travels, 100% faithful to health, nature and healthy lifestyles.

I have lived in more than 6 countries between them; Australia, Germany, Thailand, China, USA, India, Sri Lanka and I speak 6 languages, some of them better than others, something that is part of me too; Spanish, Catalan, English, German, Thai and Chinese.
