Piero Alessi

Born in Messina (Italy) in 1994, Piero Alessi first encountered sport at the age of 4 with gymnastics. From the beginning, it was clear he had a strong connection with sports and the discipline that came with it. He stood out with his competitions and performances, that in turn won him many national and international titles. When he was 8 years old, Piero focused on breakdance, where he was considered as a “prodigy b-boy” competing and conquering in all age categories. After that, he played soccer, basketball, volleyball, and weightlifting until the age of 14, when he discovered Ju Jitsu. He put forth all of his focus in this art, becoming a 4° degree black belt and competed as an athlete for the Italian national team for 12 years (2010-2022).
