🐉 "The Dragon" Stephen Tapilatu in Sardinia

Farigu Oriolani proudly hosted an international Taekwon-Do seminar led by a true legend of the art, Stephen Tapilatu. This landmark event marked Master Tapilatu’s first time teaching a seminar in Sardinia, making it a truly special occasion for everyone involved.

The seminar was delivered through two dedicated classes, one for children and one for adults, each offering an intense and inspiring experience. Across nearly four hours of continuous sparring-focused training, Master Tapilatu demonstrated exceptional energy, clarity, and commitment. He remained constantly engaged, tirelessly demonstrating techniques and offering guidance, all while maintaining a warm and encouraging presence with every student.

Master Tapilatu continues to set the standard in Taekwon-Do. His teaching approach, technical precision, and ability to communicate movement and purpose clearly reflect the depth of his mastery and the values he embodies as an instructor. We are sincerely grateful for the passion and generosity he shared throughout the seminar.

The students of Sardinia are exceptionally fortunate. In just a few short years, Farigu Oriolani has organised seminars with world-class Taekwon-Do athletes and instructors, including Master Tomaz Barada, Marcelo Bordiez, Grand Master Wim Bos, Mario de Lucia, Master Orlando Saccomanno, Giovanni Cecconato, and Fabian Izquierdo. Alongside these seminars, they have also delivered the first International Instructors Course (IIC) in Sardinia and hosted multiple international championships.

A remarkable journey of growth, opportunity, and elite Taekwon-Do—bringing the very best of the art to the island.
