· How a class works
  1. 1

    Mobility

    We take it to the ground. Check in with the body — wrists, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles — then move through general mobility and movements tied to that day's position. It's the first link in a chain.

  2. 2

    Drill-chain

    One position, one concept, layered: 1, then 1+2, then 1+2+3. Your body learns to connect the game automatically, before you ever go live.

  3. 3

    Problem solving

    You're restricted to one part of the game and left to solve it your own way. This is the part that levels everyone — a beginner can be a real problem for an experienced fighter here.

  4. 4

    Rounds

    Time to use what you learned. You're paired with someone more experienced to guide you through it.

  5. 5

    Close

    Final stretch, back in a circle. Space to relax and ask questions.

Taught by
Riccardo Riccio.

I started training at 15 in Rio de Janeiro, under Professor Raphael Abi-Rihan — who graduated me to black belt after 14 years.

I've competed at all belts in every major tournament. Although I'm used to big academies I'd rather teach a small room paying attention. Eight people a class means I actually see everyone — corrected, pushed, at the right pace. That's the whole point of RIKO.

Guest black belts rotate through regularly — you train with more than one perspective.
