My ambitions look to the academic sphere where I am establishing myself as a Sport Scientist in the field of adapted physical activity for healthy aging. I am developing a unique protocol for adapted karate, suitable for elderly people. This protocol is already of interest to the Italian Karate Federation. The aim is that it will soon become of international interest and common to all the karate federations in the world. I would like to be considered as one of the leading experts on healthy aging and Martial Arts, in the near future. At the same time, I would like to continue teaching and helping students achieve their goals by stimulating their scientific curiosity. I am interested in social sciences and all my researches include a qualitative or a mixed methods methodology. I am currently covering the position of President of the Functional Aging Institute in Europe.
