01
Form and precision
Traditional work develops coordination, posture, balance, discipline and technical beauty: the visible architecture of martial control.
Thieu-Lam · Sanda · Martial Discipline
A complete martial path for discipline, courage and real control.
Alex Miceli brings together the ancient Vietnamese tradition of Thieu-Lam and the modern combat intelligence of Sanda, guiding students through a demanding, elegant and practical martial education.
The method
Tradition gives shape. Combat gives truth.
The course is built on two complementary worlds: the technical virtuosity of Thieu-Lam and the concrete pressure of Sanda. Students do not simply learn movements. They learn presence, timing, courage and responsibility.
02
Combat intelligence
Sanda training builds distance, reaction, footwork, striking, projection awareness and the ability to stay lucid under pressure.
03
Character under pressure
The goal is not aggression, but mastery: learning to dominate fear, govern strength and make intelligent choices in difficult situations.
The course
A single path for beginners, committed students and future competitors.
The course is designed to welcome new students and progressively lead them toward a complete martial development: technical foundations, athletic preparation, controlled combat, forms, discipline and competition readiness.

Alex Miceli’s background includes twenty years of study in Thieu-Lam, one of the oldest Vietnamese martial traditions, and a full competitive career in Sanda, the combat sport developed within modern Wushu.
Traditional roots
A long study of Thieu-Lam shaped the technical and ethical foundation of the method: precision, discipline, form, weapons and martial culture.
Combat evolution
Years of agonistic work in Sanda added the modern dimension of combat: speed, impact management, tactical reading and competitive experience.
