I hope and wish that we continue on the path of Wing Chun for many many years to come.
Greetings from Barcelona".

"When I met Shifu Avella, my intentions were to learn an effective Martial Arts. Shifu promised me positive results in a few months. In less than 3 months I not only learnt how to defend myself but I acquired extensive knowledge and awareness about my balance, how to control my impulses and ego. I found myself applying all that knowledge in many areas in my personal daily life. The Wing Chun Shifu Avella teaches can be applied from sunrise to sunset."

Thank you Wing Chun."

"Shifu Avella is a very  enthusiastic  Wing Chun instructor. He is always dedicated to give the best and to share his Wing Chun with passion. He uses the time in an optimized way  without much overhead expenses. I normally met him once a year in Barcelona to bring my Wing Chun knowledge a few steps further. His Wing Chun system itself is full of details. During these few days of training, I collect enough impressions for the training over the year. I highly appreciate his well organized schedule and preparation."

"I didn't meet many people who understands the philosophy of this Martial Art  and the information beneath each movement as well as Shifu Avella.
Shifu Avella doesn't only teach Wing Chun but he lives it to the fullness and guides you in order for you to experience it as well."

As a practitioner of the martial arts since the age of six, I have trained in a variety of systems over the years. At the time I met Rafael (many moons back here in South Africa), he was a kickboxer and I, a Wing Chun and Shaolin disciple. We became good friends immediately and shared many valuable training techniques over the years.
I introduced Rafael to the school I was training at and he loved the Wing Chun system so much that he immediately  joined up and kept up his love for the art ever since. Happy training to all.

Very patient and very knowledgeable.
Shifu Avella was very understanding when it came to my schedule and once it was time to train we trained for the allotted two hours and would at time go over two hours because of how passionate he is about Wing Chun. He is a great instructor and I would not hesitate to train with him again.

Shifu Avella is very unique in his approach to teaching Wing Chun.
He has been able to push me, motivate me and teach me the reasoning behind everything we do. He has been able to closely monitor how I perform and instantly see where I may have made an error. Due to the nature of this, I have had a lot of personal successes.
I have a history in Kempo, Krav Maga and a different Wing Chun class  internationally. I've learnt so much so quickly , let alone enjoyed this much. I highly recommend Shifu Avella.

Shifu Avella has exceeded all expectations I had  coming into Wing Chun.  Shifu is a wonderful trainer and makes sure I understand all the movements and stances entirely. He has an excellent way of teaching and makes me feel comfortable while training.
I can see myself and Shifu Avella being longterm friends and training together deep into the future. Greatest Shifu ever.

Deeply knowledgeable instructor who wants to empower you to become your own instructor in the most efficient way possible.
Shifu Avella truly loves Wing Chun and sharing the benefits of this incredible Martial Art with others. My awareness of and connection to my body, my ability to focus on the present, and my overall stress levels have all improved significantly since I began training with him. Highly recommend!!.

I stepped into this with zero martial arts experience and I am grateful that he was up for the challenge.
After a fews training sessions with Shifu, I realized he was the right person to teach me Wing Chun.
He has been very patient with me, while I challenged my body and my mind to do things it has never been prepared to do.
All the while I have been learning the form of  Siu Lim Tao, he has done an excellent job explaining proper structure, why its needed and how it gets applied.
I look forward to my continued instruction with him and would greatly recommend him to anyone wanting to really know and understand Wing Chun.
Thank you Shifu.

As a student of Shifu Avella, I would like to take this opportunity to attest to his dedication to
Wing Chun and his teaching methods. My time with him seems to stop time, I get so involved in what he is sharing that I have no sense of it passing. Structure, centerline, and the meaning of each form and how they apply to the rest of the art are concepts which have changed my perspective of Wing Chun.
He is one of the most observant people I have ever met. Every angle and motion is compared to what he expects from the forms, nothing escapes his eye.
I am amazed and grateful for the progress I have experienced under his instruction. If you want to learn Wing Chun, look no further.

This is my first experience with any form of Martial Arts.
Shifu Avella has taught me in private lessons patience, helped me learn and understand
Wing Chun.
Shifu Avella is a very mindful man with great patience. This is a skill I can use for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Shifu

Shifu Avella is an awesome instructor. He knows so much about Wing Chun and is capable of communicating it and making it understood to even a novice like me. I have never practiced a Martial Art before, and after a few weeks with Shifu Avella I have been able to learn the first form and become stronger in body and mind. The one-on-one instruction really makes it possible for individualized teaching and learning, which has helped me get exactly what I needed out of the training. I would recommend Avella Wing Chun System to anyone who wants to take learning this Martial Art seriously as Shifu Avella is a passionate, patient and knowledgeable instructor.
