A new project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some months ago I was working on a project where I enjoyed a lot and now it finally comes to light. All those who like Japanese aesthetics and sports, especially martial arts, may be interested in this story.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last year I received a call and to my pleasant surprise I was asked if I would be interested in preparing Japanese style drawings for a line of products from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu<\/a>How could I not, being a tattoo artist with a passion for the Japanese style, a Brazilian and a former practitioner of this sport?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invitation to work on this project was made to me by Marc Llull Bergas, a former training partner from Madrid. When I lived there I had the pleasure of sharing tatami with him in his first years of training. BJJ<\/a>I am glad to see that he continues to train and compete hard and has made it to brown belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those who do not know the Jiu-Jitsu<\/a> Brazilian or BJJ<\/a>It is a martial art, contact sport and self-defense from Brazil, as its name says, very well known and practiced there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sport has strong roots in the Jiu-Jitsu<\/a> Japanese, which in turn descends from India and ancient China. In Brazil, since the beginning of its history the Jiu-Jitsu<\/a> was changing and took on new dimensions. A series of new movements and techniques have emerged that distinguish it from the Japanese modality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand Gaman<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n

He liked the Jiu-Jitsu<\/a> Marc, who gave his brother Lluis, and his friends Juank and Tomeu a try. A short time later, these four boys from Mallorca, now fully hooked to the BJJ<\/a>created Gaman in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaman is a new brand aimed primarily at the practitioners of Jiu-Jitsu<\/a> Brazilian, that is, boys and girls like them, with the same hobbies and needs. The garments they make are perfectly suitable for the practice of other sports, such as Grappling<\/a> y MMA<\/a>. And they also offer a casual line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These four fighters are attracted to Japanese culture and philosophy, as are many martial arts practitioners. Hence the name of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese term Gaman carries within itself an important teaching of the Buddhism<\/a> Zen. It is often translated as self-control, perseverance, patience, tolerance, self-denial. But it speaks of a way of being, it means much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaman is to have the determination to persist in the attempt with patience and dignity, even in the face of seemingly invincible obstacles, to endure the seemingly unbearable.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Surely, the Gaman concept represents all those who have a warrior spirit. And many will identify with the idea that this new brand wants to personify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The desired design style for Gaman<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n

\"Escudo-Gaman-Japones-Bjj-Caroli-Dilli\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR THIS BRAND IS TO REPRESENT THE GAMAN CONCEPT THROUGH THE MOTIFS CHOSEN FOR IT BY MEANS OF JAPANESE AESTHETICS.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And being aware that Japanese iconography is loaded with symbolism related to Eastern philosophical lines that have so much to do with the warrior spirit, to inspire and motivate those who wear or see the garments made by Gaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are infinite ways to do it and we are just getting started. I present here the first two illustrations I have prepared for Gaman. And some of the garments and accessories they have been able to make with these designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
