Karate Gravina - Accademia del Movimento

I started practicing karate initially out of "need", a requirement linked to a physical problem that arose when I was still a child, and then out of inspiration; to follow in the footsteps of my sister, who with hard work, perseverance and dedication has always obtained what she most wanted in the world .. becoming even before a technical teacher: my opponent the confidant friend, the shoulder to cry on in moments not . At the beginning I must admit that it was absolutely not easy to follow the courses in peace and harmoniously join the whole team, as it was linked to a series of motor deficits that made it impossible for me a lot, especially at the coordination level. Despite this I have practiced karate for two years, but alas health always prevails and due to force majeure I had to stop at the beginning of the realization of a beautiful dream, mine. It was not easy to get away from this reality, but the precious help of Maestro Franco and Maestro Giuseppe were of fundamental importance for me. It is thanks to Maestro Giuseppe if today this reality is still "my second home" for me, it is thanks to my team that in those four walls I feel complete, understood, motivated, encouraged to do better. Always. Everyday. Three years have passed since my physical and psychological rebirth and to date being able to return to the mat and feel at home is the greatest victory for me! I believe today there are no insuperable limits for me, because from my personal experience I have learned that; IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN .. and I today, I want more than ever to take back my revenge! ❤️

My career at Karate Gravina began in 2004, when I was just 5 years old. From that distant day to today, 16 years have passed that I practice this discipline, achieving every degree of belt, up to the achievement of small goals, such as "Black Belt 2nd Dan, and Qualification of Aspiring Trainer". Without a shadow of a doubt, I owe the realization of these little dreams to Karate Gravina, but especially to Maestro Franco De Lucia, who with his excellent knowledge and above all his way of passing them on to us athletes, has formed the person who currently they are. All this took place in a healthy environment full of positive stimuli, in which one can only grow at best. Finally, I wish and invite everyone to have a similar experience at KARATE GRAVINA. 🥋💛💙🥋

I worked with Giuseppe De Lucia from Ottobbre 2018 until July 2019, he was the personal trainer of my sports dance team. I arrived at Giuseppe with a weight of 61 kg and after sending him the diet plan decided together with a nutritionist, he developed a training that in just 4 months made me go down to 51 kg. Not only did it strengthen the muscle part, it made me faster and it also worked on lung resistance, preparing me and getting used to great physical and breath efforts. With Giuseppe I won the Italian Championship of Caribbean Dances and I learned how much difference a good personal trainer can make. I live in Rome and Giuseppe now works in Puglia, but he hasn't stopped following me. With dedication he has prepared for me a training schedule including everything, he is available for any questions and is interested in the progress of the training itself. Do not miss such an opportunity, Giuseppe helped me a lot and I feel very lucky to have met him.

I believe that the most important thing doing sport is the passion and commitment you put into it and that transmitted by your coach / teacher. After almost 5 years I can say that there is a lot of it here. I have learned a lot and have improved both physically and motorically and mentally and morally. Above all we are a united and close-knit group in which there is affection, respect and even fun, in short we are like a family. I recommend this gym to everyone because it really deserves a lot.

I started attending the Gravina karate association when I was a very lively and sometimes irrepressible child. Karate and maestro Franco taught me discipline and rigor without ever giving up on fun. Growing up I had to leave the association but last year I decided to resume my karate path and with great pride I was able to ascertain that in addition to the teacher Franco De Lucia now there is also his eldest son Peppe teaching having studied and worked in Rome he courageously decided to invest his time and the fruit of his studies here in Gravina. He has brought with him a series of innovations both in teaching and in the approach with students who can only do well to a well-structured association like that of karate Gravina.
