Antonello Zecca

Antonello Zecca took up Taiji Quan and Qi Gong in 2020 under the guidance of Carolina Inda (Sagara), a direct student of Master Marcello Sidoti, whose student Antonello still is today.

After his first years of practice, he enrolled in the Coach Training Course at Wang Xi’An Taiji Italy, the school our association is affiliated with, under the direction of Master Sidoti and with the collaboration of other Masters.
In 2023 he earned his Taiji Quan Coach diploma, and then began attending the Instructor Course, which he is still pursuing.

In 2025 he obtained the diploma of Professional Qi Gong Practitioner, again under the guidance of Master Sidoti, deepening the energetic and therapeutic dimension of the discipline.
