Two resident black belts. Pick the one who fits what you want to work on.
Black belt · Head instructor
Founder of RIKO. Defense-first and methodical, drawn to specific training and to cutting the game into small pieces until each one is simple. Best for beginners who would rather start one-to-one before joining a group, and for anyone getting ready to compete.
Black belt · Resident instructor
Catalan black belt. UWW No-Gi World Grappling Champion, multiple-time European gold medallist in gi and no-gi, Spanish national champion and medallist in Olympic wrestling. She also referees, so rule sets, scoring and what actually wins a match are fair game in a session. Best for anyone preparing to compete, and for people who want a wrestler's answer to standing and to passing.
