Lack...

Lack of times is nothing more than lack of motivation because you make time for what motivates you the most. So, by making time a "motivating" factor, you can use it as a reason to go train Jiu Jitsu and not an excuse to put it off. Florida State.

Campeonato Mundial

Uma época quando os Mundiais eram realizados no Brazil. Lembra ?
Minha melhor lembrança foi ver meus ídolos competirem em um tatame no qual estávamos ali!!! Bem pertinho deles, os nossos heróis brasileiros do verdadeiro Jiu Jitsu. Guerreiros que lutavam contra tudo e contra todos. Contando centavos ou esbanjando patrocínios invejosos dos quais seguramente era motivo principal para suas vitórias uma vez que, patrocínio é uma segurança de treino tranquilo e nenhum problema a vir. Somente ir e vencer. Minhas experiências resumiram em trabalhar no evento a convite da organização e por uma vez na qual me classifiquei ( isso mesmo!!! Para competir o Mundial de Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro você não conquistando Campeonato Estadual; Campeonato Brasileiro, automaticamente você para competir no Mundial de Jiu Jitsu deveria fazer seletiva). 
Lembro que foi criada um Federação paralela ao do Rio de Janeiro para tentar classificar mais atletas, em vão. Mas a tentativa foi boa. Eu consegui um 3° lugar, mas não me classifiquei. 
Varias tentativas foram feitas para manter o Mundial de Jiu Jitsu no Brasil. Mas o custo e o crescimento do Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro nos Estados Unidos, realmente relevou o fato e a mudança foi necessária. É claro e evidente que perdemos os "medalhões" da principal competição do cenário do Jiu Jitsu, mas com a agenda deles em seminários e aulas, fica apertado para os mesmos se verem em uma competição de porte que une continentes.
Começou no Brasil tem que manter no Brasil. Dizem os saudosistas, claro que aliar o útil ao agradável, é uma receita maravilhosa!!! Imagina: ir ao Brasil com certeza uma vez por ano, competir, rever amigos e família e ainda ir a praia do Pepê!!! Isso não tem preço (só o da passagem, a não ser que você  tenha milhas no seu cartão, aí a viagem sai custo zero!!!). Ver quem você quer ver, ir nos lugares quando você era criança, levar seus alunos e amigos a esses lugares só cresce o respeito e confiança daqueles que te acolheram em suas casas ou em suas academias, em suas garagens ou em seus espaços disponíveis para você, com muita raça e garra para vencer. Pois então ? Nada mais justo do que você ter a oportunidade de viajar entender o verdadeiro glamour do Jiu Jitsu sem a prepotência ou o ditadorismo que o esporte tem tomado o rumo e nunca deixar se levar pelo o dinheiro, uma vez que o Grande Mestre uma vez falou: "Empregar o maior tempo no aperfeiçoamento de ti mesmo, e nenhum tempo em criticar os outros".

Saidas..

Escapes...

Yeah, right. The most questionable form for those that practice BJJ. 

Getting away from certain positions can be a lil tricky. But with patience and perseverance you always can achieve the right escape. Some classes we asked the best to do so. But we only will figure with more mat time since different bodies are place to challenge ourselves. My opinion in this blog, can reach your stage of thinking in how the next escape can be effective for all of us. When I train, my objective every single time is modified my form of attack. If I make the same move all the time, means in mastering my technique but at the same time I will telegraph what I like most and limited my self.
A tip is always change any type of strategy you have plan for your next spar session. Plan two or five moves per spar so doesn't get too obvious you wanna that specific move.
Have a great week!

Confederation Soccer Cup

Amazing !!!
Soccer in Brazil is like a religion.
In every single square can be transformed in a soccer field. All empty boxes are form goals. Cans can be use as pols. And let me tell you something no matter what we always find a way to watch, play, discuss, get excited and show our passion for this number one sport in every decent country in the world like Rio de Janeiro brazil one of the most beautiful countries in this planet.
Life without soccer is life without water. And sometimes come along with beer.
A good one...

Choke

Besides what we watched Metamoris.. Today I showed a choke from side control. Get to know once you pass someone guard, you get awarded with 3 points.
But remember: you have to control the position for at least 3 seconds.!!!
Having a good control shows a great domination of the Jiu Jitsu you been practicing.
Always respect the ibjjf rules and they're referees since they work really hard for keep the best martial art alive.
However, never stall a fight and always look for the end: pass; smash and SUBIMIT !!!👊👊👊👊👊 
Have a great training day!
