Bruno Frazatto’s kids competitors, including his daughter Manu Frazatto, have been present at major IBJJF competitions this season. Now, the team will land in Florida to compete at the Pan Kids, in the No Gi modality, this weekend.
Frazatto has been making a difference in the training of athletes at Atos Atlanta, the academy that the Brazilian black-belt runs. Since the demand for Gi and No Gi competitions is quite high, the professor spoke about the need to keep hybrid training in constant activity. In this planning, he includes his daughter Manu Frazatto, who has been performing flawlessly throughout the season.
“She has been training in a hybrid format all season since the beginning of the year. During the Brazilian Nationals and Pan Kids camps, we intensified her Gi training, but I have been working on her skills in both disciplines so she will have more opportunities in the future. Since she will compete in the Euro Kids next week, we will work 50/50, Gi and No Gi. I believe she will be able to demonstrate her skills in No Gi as well, I am very confident.”.
Teaching Jiu-Jitsu with a serious methodology, from childhood onwards, is extremely important
Developing a solid plan from an early age when teaching Jiu-Jitsu is essential for the success of a team made up of children who feel comfortable and confident in seeking the best results on the mat. Bruno is succeeding in this mission and the Atos Atlanta competitive team is increasingly well positioned. Regarding the conduct of this work, he mentioned AOJ, from Mendes brothers, as one of his great inspirations.
“In addition to loving working with children, I strongly believe in fundamental work. I am very inspired by the work done at AOJ and today we see how everything that was planted back then has become a powerhouse. I don’t think it will be any different at Atos Atlanta.”.
Bruno Frazatto believes in daily consistency to show real results in competitions
As the main lessons learned from the 2024 season, which is almost complete, Bruno Frazatto will take with him the certainty that it is possible to offer excellent teaching in the different aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, grappling and Gi fighting.
“I think in the competitive sense we can do both, Gi and No Gi, very well if we have a well-organized program and a system of education and training that, working together, it is very possible to achieve significant results. I think there is a new wave of athletes coming up who do both very well. I am working now so that our competitors can have the skill set ahead of their opponents, performing well in competitions and showing the work that we do every day.”
