Teacher Cesario
Cesario Di Domenico began his martial arts career at the age of 7 in Italy. For a few years he trained streetfights and then he stepped into Weng Chun Kung Fu. He became in a short period black belt in this art, under the grandmaster Andreas Hoffman. Two years later he became a master in Weng Chun Kung Fu, the youngest worldwide in the discipline of Weng Chun.
Simultaneously, he trained Brazilian Jiu jitsu under grandmaster Flavio Behring. In this discipline, he was awarded with a blue belt within six months of training. Awarded brown belt under grandmaster Flavio Behring and eventually black belt in 2015 under master Marcus Aurelio from Brazil.
Thanks to those disciplines in traditional martial arts he became a professional Mixed Martial Artist with a distinguished record.
