Fall, Rise, Fight is the book in which Alfredo Vismara tells his whole story: five friends, one tatami, a life woven together by friendship, challenges and ideals. The book is in Italian.
A life on the tatami shared with his lifelong companions, Aldo Piatti, Beppe Vismara, Valter Scolari and Livio Beretta: intense training, epic competitions, trips to Japan and unforgettable moments inside and outside the dojo.
It is the story of a group of young men who grew up together in the spirit of traditional Judo, guided by extraordinary figures such as Cesare Barioli and internationally renowned Japanese masters. The journey of those who chose to live Judo as art, education, discipline and freedom, beyond official structures and easy shortcuts.
