BJJ GOZO is a sports association. It means that its primary goal is to transmit the art of jiu-jitsu to anynone, kids, adults, promoting self defense and simple things than can save your life and to protect your love ones. It is a true mission not just a business. Then its secondary aspect is indeed to use all the business tools to reach its primary goal. This clarifcation is important because it is a team project, where students particiate after the class for example to clean the mats and where parents help around the kids classes. The instructors engaged their body, their physical and psychological abilities in the process, doing free tries for students, rolling with you guys and this not only occasionaly but personnaly since 1997. Some of my students sawthat has a very risky way of life because the body can be strong but it has its limits. However I am grateful that this body and mind are still there in good shape to be at service to others.
BJJ GOZO is located in one of the most incredible place in the world, a small island that looks like a jowel in the middle of the Mediterranean sea.
