ucci Del-Gaudio first appeared in Lift Hands Volume 4, December 2017. It was the inaugural year of Kaizen — The Martial Arts Expo in Nottingham and Lucci was the man behind it. It has taken us almost 5 years to catch up with him again — as he is a busy, busy man — to put him through our 20 Questions.
I’ve known Lucci for a number of years now, not only is he a neighbour based down the road from Leicester in Nottingham, but he is also one of the myriad of friends introduced to me by the late great Anthony Pillage. As I’ve said, Lucci is a very busy man holding down a day job whilst running his own successful Blackbelt Academy in Nottingham, as well as branching out with Kaizen Events [more about that later]. A few weeks ago, I managed to lure Lucci down to Leicester for the 20 Questions as well as to find out what is happening with Kaizen in 2022 now that we have finally emerged from lockdown after 2 years of inactivity?
