The ASD Rilion Gracie Italy Gym is a sports center dedicated to the practice of martial arts, fitness, and self-defense, with a strong focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a technical discipline based on leverage and strategy rather than physical strength. It is a martial art that teaches self-defense techniques and emphasizes the importance of technique over physical strength, making it accessible and practicable for everyone, from children to the elderly.
The philosophy of BJJ emphasizes values such as respect, discipline, determination, and self-defense, promoting situational awareness by teaching practitioners to assess dangerous situations and respond appropriately. The self-defense techniques learned in this sport not only provide physical tools but also help develop self-confidence and mental resilience.
One of its fundamental technical aspects is the focus on ground fighting, where a smaller and lighter person can succeed against a larger and stronger opponent by using appropriate leverage, positions, and strategies. This means that even beginners can learn to defend themselves effectively without needing to be particularly strong or fast.
