The Story

40 years in
the art

Sifu Nino Pilla has been teaching martial arts for over 40 years, training countless martial artists and actors. His curriculum spans Kung Fu, Wing Chun, and traditional weapons — disciplines that translate directly onto screen.

Nino served as Rob Schneider's stunt double from 2006 to 2010, bringing his on-screen experience back into the classroom. He trained the cast for Mortal Kombat (2021), one of the most technically demanding fight films to come out of Australia.

His teaching philosophy is grounded in precision — the kind of precision that separates a performer who looks like they can fight from one who genuinely can, and knows how to make it read on camera.
