We of the Jiu Jitsu Squad Venice are the pioneer group of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the province of Venice and one of the oldest teams in the whole Veneto region. Born in 2010 under the guidance of the master Emiliano Manfren, at that time purple belt, we have gone from being a small group of passionate wrestlers and martialists to being the most valid representation of the ‘art suave’ in the territory: a reference point for many wrestlers, able to have its say even at a national level.
From the very first days, our Jiu Jitsu has been freedom of expression and personal well-being, an instrument of knowledge of ourselves and of other people; it is the corner of light-heartedness that we carve out for ourselves when, climbing on the tatami, we take off our slippers and at the same time we take off our daily thoughts; it is the moment when we express ourselves at our best, fully present and relaxed.
Our Jiu Jitsu, strong of the guidance of the master Octavio Couto, is based on natural physical principles and on the acquisition of the awareness of the movements of one’s body, as well as on the precision of technical execution: for this reason, each member of the Jiu Jitsu Squad Venezia is a facet of the same unique style, who has learned the concepts by making them his own and by finding his own expression.
For us, Jiu Jitsu is a way of approaching life itself: we cultivate respect, tolerance and awareness of our own abilities; we learn to manage the most adverse situations, training the mind to find a solution and not to give in to panic; we understand the immense and latent potential of our own body; we taste the satisfaction of our successes, costing time and effort, and we learn to productively accept the bitterness of failures.
By sharing so much, we are above all witnesses that the tatami can teach friendship and make our lives a little better.
