            The project was realized in the club of Novo Leblon in Barra da Tijuca, with the master of Jiu- Jitsu Paulo Perrota. The classes are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

            The master Paulo teaches his pupils in the most varied techniques of this art which are exhaustively trained in doubles which are alternated. The moves, finalizations and defenses are practiced and supervised by the master when needed. The classes usually star with a warming up cooper, then demonstrations occur with moves which are trained on that day, and so couples are formed between the pupils, as the master supervise them.

            As we take the vocabulary of words spoken by the master Paulo, we recognize the theme for the project: "Jiu Jitsu is art; days, mornings, nights, years of training its obvious that it happens."

            The long hours of training many times have the objective to represent the team in regional or even federal championships. These pupils practice on mornings and at nights on everyday classes to show their own art in the sport.

            From the possibilities of creating a big project, the ideas we had and tested were the following: massage roll for the back, a daily board with the training periods, a water bottle, a bench, and a calendar with the finalizations most used by the students.

            The concept defined from the first ideas was a white-board marker, which can be easily erasable.

            The final project was done with a board made in plastic holded by a string on the back. Containing days and classes (morning / afternoon) impressed. There is the possibility to write on the board with a washable marker. The marker has Velcro on its outside and so there is a space with Velcro on the board and they stick together.

            The final concept is being used in the class everyday to show the pupils the days of training on the ground, standing up, directing them for some special practice, or even to alert the pupils in case of holidays and etc.
