Next weekend, the highly anticipated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) Milan Challenge, organized under the aegis of FIJLKAM (Italian Judo Wrestling Karate and Martial Arts Federation), will see the participation of national and international level athletes. Among the protagonists of the competition there will be Colucci, athlete of the Academy of Martial Arts and Combat Sports of Potenza, led by master Massimiliano Monaco, head of the Budo Clan Basilicata.
This edition of the Milano Challenge will be particularly significant for Colucci, who will compete for the first time in the prestigious brown belt category, an important achievement that rewards years of commitment and sacrifice.
On the eve of the competition, Serena Lamastra, competition director and reference figure for the world of martial arts, wanted to explain the importance of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the role of FIJLKAM and the Italian Jiujitsu union in promoting it:
“Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is much more than a sport: it is a discipline that combines technique, strategy and mental strength. Unlike other martial arts, BJJ focuses predominantly on ground fighting and the use of locks and restraints to subdue the opponent. FIJLKAM, as an official federation, with the support of Uijj, plays a crucial role in regulating competitions, ensuring high standards and promoting the growth of BJJ in Italy.
Events like the Milano Challenge are proof of the continuous evolution of this discipline.”
The Academy of Martial Arts of Potenza, under the guidance of master Massimiliano Monaco, represents a point of reference for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Basilicata. Thanks to the vision of maestro Monaco and the constant work of the Budo Clan Basilicata, athletes like Colucci are bringing the name of the region to the most important Italian tatamis.
“Colucci is an example of how passion and perseverance can lead to extraordinary results.
Competing among the brown belts at the Milano Challenge is an achievement for us who wore the kimono first, when no one yet knew the art that revolutionized martial arts, but also a starting point towards ever greater challenges,” he said. declared Maestro Monaco.
The brown belt category is among the most competitive in the BJJ scene. Colucci will have to compete with experienced and technically prepared opponents, but the determination and intense preparation carried out in recent months are precious weapons to face this challenge.
The Lucanian sporting community will follow the competition with enthusiasm, hoping that Colucci can best represent the region and the Academy of Martial Arts and Combat Sports of Potenza.
The appointment is for next weekend, when on the tatami of the Milano Challenge technique, determination and passion will give life to an unmissable show for all martial arts enthusiasts.
