修行
Small-group · eight students per class, beginner to black belt.
Schedule →
A small-batch academy in the historic center. Every class is capped at eight. Mobility, base, repetition, built for longevity.
Claim your spot →Your first class is private. Just you and the coach. Tatami etiquette, hygiene, how to tie your belt, how to fall, how to defend, how to get back up. At your pace, in a controlled space. After this, you're ready for Fundamentals.
Start hereA six-month cyclical course, defense-first, the base for the years to come. Where everyone lands after their Intro Class.
The foundationTakedowns, drills and hard rounds. Maximum reps. Belt colour is not relevant. Available only after coach approval.
IntensityOne-on-one, just you and the problem. Book a single session or a block of ten for a real game plan. Works for everyone. A total beginner gets a head start, a black belt breaks old habits. See private lessons →
1-on-1Come and train at your own pace. The mat is open and the coach is there the whole time to supervise and answer questions.
OpenMobility and recovery work. No jiu-jitsu required, but not optional if you want to train for life.
RecoveryWe take it to the ground. Check in with the body: wrists, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles. Then rebuild the natural patterns the body is built for and loses over time: crawling, dragging, changing base. Only then, mobility tied to that day's position. It's the first link in a chain.
One position, one concept, layered: 1, then 1+2, then 1+2+3. Your body learns to connect the game automatically, before you ever go live.
You're restricted to one part of the game and left to solve it your own way. This is the part that levels everyone. A beginner can be a real problem for an experienced fighter here.
Time to use what you learned. You're paired with someone more experienced to guide you through it.
Final stretch, back in a circle. Space to relax and ask questions.

I started training at 15 in Rio de Janeiro, under Professor Raphael Abi-Rihan, who graduated me to black belt after 14 years.
I've competed at all belts in every major tournament, and I still compete, most recently winning the Polaris Spain Open at medium heavyweight. Although I'm used to big academies I'd rather teach a small room paying attention. Eight people a class means I actually see everyone: corrected, pushed, at the right pace. That's the whole point of RIKO.
