"When enormous talent and unbelievable dedication unite in one person"

Sifu Paolo Cangelosi, born in Genoa in 1960, is among the most respected and appreciated martial artists in the world (for more info see bio and nomination). 
Young Paolo met his first master, Fu Han Tong, when he was 11. Fu Han Tong, a chinese master travelling the West between the 60ies and the 70ies, meant to stay in Genoa only little time, but he saw something special in that kid. He therefore chose to stay, and for 7 years he taught Paolo in the art of Kung Fu, with tough, traditional, and sincere oriental training.

It was hence in 1978 that Paolo Cangelosi became Master and opened his own school. In the years, his School would become one of the most appreciated and well-known not only in Genoa and Italy, but worldwide.

With several journeys to the East, during which he grew with and met other Sifus (among which is warmly remembered Master Chan Hon Chun), he also experienced traditional, free-style combats. His successes earned him in Hong Kong, in 1985, the title of "Pu Tien Loon" (the Dragon Dominating the Sky).

Thaks to his talent and to his life dedicated to martial arts, Sifu Paolo's knowledge and epertise in the area of Kung Fu has few competitors in the whole world.

With prestigious prices, exhibitions, and lessons in every corner of the world, Paolo Cangelosi is nowadays a famous and highly appreciated master in the martial domain.

He has had thousands of students. Among the best ones, it is worth mentioning Si Baks Nicola Pastorino and Fabio Tozzi, and his own son, Si Sook and professional Muay Thai Fighter, Shan Cangelosi.
