The Bianchi Method

Il Bianchi Method is a very efficient and practical style of Ju Jitsu. The style underwent modifications during the years. the school CALGJ is one of the few still close to the original interpretation.

The style practised by master Gino Bianchi was not a real sport, but it was a very immediate and intuitive form of fighting. It had its own identity, being different from Karate or Judo. The Ju Jitsu Bianchi style (Bianchi Method) had a lot of success, especially in the north of Italy, thanks also to the success of masters like Luciano Foralosso, Tito Devoto and Giovanni Rebagliati.

After the death of master Bianchi, its method was adapted to the technical program of CONI. After the riadaptation, non dangerous techiniques were preferred, even if someimes this involved a major alteration to the original discipline.

Unluckily, today only a few clubs keep practising the original Bianchi Method. Many of the techniques are not taught any more in the majority of the clubs, but they are still present in our club, which always tried to remain close to the teachings of its founder, master Tito Devoto.
