Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense—what it has to do with your kids

2012-01-16T20:22:00.000-08:00

Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense—what it has to do with your kids
Marcelo Dunlop
@MarceloDunlop

Paraphrasing a movie, have you stopped to think why your friends are scared when they’re alone?
For the same reason we get afraid. Not just the simple fear of something bad happening, or someone big and mean attacking us, or getting beat up and hurt.

The problem with “bullying” is that the cowardly act doesn’t end there. What follows is always overwhelming and traumatizing shame. The shame of not being able to protect one’s self from the cruelty of the world.

JIU-JITSU AGAINST BULLYING

For this new affliction of the century specialists prescribe countless remedies, psychologists and talks with parents. But they ignore a simple preventive measure: the practice of martial arts.

Jiu-Jitsu, as masters Carlos and Helio noted back in the 1930s, is the most effective way to inject confidence and a sense of security into kids, beings inexperienced in this mad, mad world.

Make Jiu-Jitsu that bodyguard ever present with your kids, armor to be used anytime, anywhere. Sign your kids up for Jiu-Jitsu. They’ll never walk alone again

---------------------------------

Parafraseando o filme, você já parou para pensar por que seus filhos têm medo quando estão sozinhos?

Pelo mesmo motivo que nós sentimos medo também. Não é o simples pavor de algo ruim acontecer, ou de ser agredido por alguém maior e cruel, ou de apanhar – e doer.

O problema do “bullying” é que o ato covarde não termina ali. Depois, vem sempre um vexame insuperável e traumatizante. Uma vergonha de não ser capaz de se proteger sozinho da maldade do mundo.

Jiu-Jitsu contra o bullying

Para esse “novo mal do século”, os especialistas receitam inúmeros remédios, psicólogos, conversas com os pais. Mas ignoram uma medida simples e preventiva, a prática das artes marciais.

O Jiu-Jitsu, como mestres Carlos e Helio notaram desde os anos 1930, é o modo mais eficaz de injetar confiança e segurança nas crianças, seres com pouca experiência nesse mundo tão maluco.

Faça do Jiu-Jitsu o guarda-costas que está sempre com você e seus filhos, e uma armadura pronta para usar em qualquer lugar, até no banho. Matricule suas crianças no Jiu-Jitsu. Eles jamais estarão sozinhos de novo.

recent Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gene Pace, 78

2012-01-16T20:17:00.000-08:00

Lessons from recent Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gene Pace, 78

Gene Pace earned his black belt at 78 years of age last Thursday.
Gene Pace, a good-natured 78-year-old grandfather, has been training Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Costa Mesa, California, for the last 15 years.
Upon earning his black belt last Wednesday, Gene was featured in the “Daily Pilot”, newspaper in an article by Sarah Peters with photos by Don Leach, and with the story came some lessons.

Gene trains at GB twice a week, which seems about right for an elder practitioner not to suffer too many injuries.

The promotion ceremony gathered around a hundred of the new black belt’s friends and fans.

“It was pretty touching,” admitted Gene with a chuckle.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START JIU-JITSU

Mike Buckels, a teacher at GB Costa Mesa, highlighted the greatest quality of the senior 5 black belt (because there’s no such thing as a senior 8 or 9 division).

“He’s Mr Consistency. He never misses a class, ever,” says Buckels, who only had one black belt under him before Gene. “He does exactly what he’s taught. If you show him a position, he’ll perform the movement perfectly.”

Buckels says he’s judicious when pairing Gene up with a sparring partner but stresses that he is not to be underestimated.

GIVING UP HALFWAY IS WEAK

Gene can hang with me in training—I’m over 80 kg—and takes me down. He usually trains with guys about 55 years younger than he is,” says Mike, pointing out one of the peculiarities of Jiu-Jitsu, a gentle martial art where technique can overcome stamina and brute strength.

Gene Pace started practicing martial arts as a way to exercise and to give his grandchildren something to get excited about.

“I thought to myself, ‘They’re not going to kill me, and I might just learn something new.’ Once I got started, I thought, “Am I going to give up and embarrass my grandkids? No way, I’m not going to disrespect them like that. And everyone kept training,” recalls the burly granddad.
Pace’s finish-what-you-started attitude was key in making it to black belt.
Now how about you, dear reader, have you been finishing what you start? Or is there some Jiu-Jitsu missing from the way you see things?
Comment below on what the main thing you learned from Gene Pace is and if there’s someone with a similar story at your Jiu-Jitsu school.

15 Tips for Good Hygiene in BJJ

2012-01-13T22:31:00.000-08:00

15 Tips for Good Hygiene in BJJ
I've been on the proverbial soap box since we started publishing BJJ Weekly, and if you've been with us for a while you're probably sick of hearing about it. But still every week we get emails from people who aren't sure about what's expected, or they need to deal with a stinky nasty training partner. I asked my friend Bon, the owner of Fight Soap to give us his take on good hygiene. I recommend sharing this article with new training partners so they know right up front what's expected! - Bill

Our lives on the mat revolve around training. As practitioners of the gentle art, we put a lot of attention on BJJ technique, drills, and strategy. What a lot of us tend to forget is that practicing good hygiene before and after training is as important as showing up in class. Being clean not only prevents diseases, but it also makes the experience of rolling enjoyable for everyone.

Here are some practices that we encourage for BJJ:

Come to class in a freshly-laundered Gi. Not just air-dried and sprayed with an odor neutralizer; you want it washed and dried.

Come to class wearing freshly-laundered knee braces, ankle supports, etc. (If you wear these)

Trim your finger nails and toe nails regularly.

Remove any form of jewelry such as necklaces, earrings, and wedding rings before rolling. As these can cause open wounds for you or others.

Freshen your breath or chew gum before rolling. No one wants to know what you’ve eaten beforehand.

Sanitize your hands at the very least BEFORE entering the mats. (Picked this one up from Bas Rutten)

If you sweat profusely during rolling, have a towel nearby to wipe it off with OFTEN.

Always watch out for any form of open wounds that you may have acquired during rolling, this includes friction burns from the mats or gi. Tend to these wounds immediately as these can get infected easily in our training environment.

Wear a rash guard underneath the Gi whenever possible (Some schools actually encourage this).

Use paper towels to wipe away any pools of blood or sweat on the mat and dispose. Do not use your own personal towel to wipe these away. Disinfect the affected area immediately after.

Wear sandals or any form of footwear when using the restrooms, especially when you have to re-enter the mat area.

After training, wipe away any excess sweat, wash up if possible, and get into a fresh change of clothes. Do not linger around wearing anything soaked in sweat.

Hit the showers as soon as possible right after training. Take as hot of a shower that you can tolerate, and take the time to scrub your body with soap very well.

All sweaty clothing and equipment should be taken out of your bags when you get home, and set aside to be washed. Wash your gym bag too if possible.

Finally, volunteer to clean the mats and equipment after class every now and then. It’s a great way to pay homage to the mats where you learn the art. It’s also an excellent way to keep your training environment clean, and show that you care for team like family.

We hope that a lot of these tips aren’t new to you. Remember that in BJJ we have to be very considerate of other people and the environment that we train in. We don’t have any katas in BJJ. Like tango, it takes two to roll. Getting another person sick, or just giving that person a plain horrible experience while training is the last thing that we should ever want. The diseases common to the sport are highly-contagious and can spread to the whole school. There is nothing wrong about paying attention to good hygiene at the gym. It’s actually the responsible thing to do, and it benefits everyone in the end.

terere

2012-01-09T22:54:00.000-08:00

Former World Champion and BJJ great Fernando "Terere" now living in England still has time for some inspiring words: " Our relationship with Jiu-Jitsu is a lot like love. You have be falling in love with it in order to train hard and be happy training. It is like a personal relationship; sometimes you have a fight and stop for a while, and when you return you don't have the same dedication to repeating the movements and put the necessary effort. You just go back and do some light training and go home tired.

But when your body understands the respect and dedication of learning and getting better each day, it leads you down the path of the warrior. Not only on the mats but also in real life where every day is a battle. Congratulations to all that conquered the black belt and to all that are working hard to get there"

Gustavo Dantas is opening a new Arizona based Jiu-Jitsu

2012-01-09T22:36:00.000-08:00

Gustavo Dantas is opening a new Arizona based Jiu-Jitsu academy in February
One of our busiest Instructors in the Jiu-Jitsu Community, Gustavo Dantas, is starting a new venture in his own Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Gustavo has been teaching the gentle art at the World renowned Mixed Martial Arts School, Arizona Combat Sports, in Tempe, AZ since October 2000.

The BJJ program has produced over 20 World Championship Medalists, and the MMA program run by his partner, Trevor Lally, has produced world class fighters such as TUF season 8 champion Ryan Bader, TUF season 7 runner-up C.B. Dollaway, UFC middleweight contender Aaron Simpson, and former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner, just to name a few. But after eleven years of hard work, Dantas is fulfilling his teenage dream of owning his own Jiu-Jitsu Academy and focusing 100% in a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school.

"The reason why I came to the United States was to teach Jiu-Jitsu for a living. I really like MMA, so when my instructor Andre Pederneiras needs any help with fights in the U.S., I meet up with him and do what I can to help out, but I LOVE JIU-JITSU, and that is what I will be doing for the rest of my life!" said Dantas, who is the Nova União leader in the U.S. and the vice-president of the Arizona State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (AZBJJF).

The school will be opening in February, weeks before one of his biggest events of the year, the 7th AZ International Open, on March 3rd & 4th in Phoenix. "I am a little overwhelmed with the amount of work right now. I am still teaching at AZ Combat until the middle of February, plus working on the tournament, and trying to put everything together for the new school", said Dantas, who won the 2011 AZSBJJF Adult ranking for the third year in a row and the Kids Division Ranking for the first time.

"All my hard work is paying off, I go a lot out of my way for my students and that is a reason why they are getting positive results. When I was younger, I focused a lot on building champions, which I love doing and will continue to do, but I want more. I want to help people change their lives through Jiu-Jitsu, the same way it did for me. I want them to have a better lifestyle and believe in their dreams. It doesn't matter if their goals are sports related or not, they have to go after their goals and martial arts can help you to develop the discipline, perseverance, and dedication that you need to achieve anything you want. I read once that dreams take time, patience, sustained effort, and a willingness to fail if they are ever to be anything more than dreams, and that is what I try to instill in my students."

What’s Carlos Rosado been up to?

2012-01-05T21:08:00.000-08:00

What’s Carlos Rosado been up to?
www.graciemag.com
Anyone who crosses paths with him on the streets of Copacabana or in countries like Chile or Argentina (where the photo above was taken) would never imagine the tall fellow with the youthful looks is already over 60 years old.

Able bodied, with a piercing gaze and agile mind, Carlos Antônio Rosado is living proof of the health benefits Jiu-Jitsu provides its practitioners. One of the most dreaded competitors on the scene back in the 1970s, the notorious Carlson Gracie student made of Jiu-Jitsu and physical exercise his chief allies in combating diabetes, a disease he has lived with for the last 30 years without distress and without keeping him from donning his gi and training practically every day of the year.

At his academy, just a few meters from Copacabana Beach, the teacher pays special attention to the children’s classes, with his own grandson counting among his tiny pupils. However, he does have an assiduous group of adults and veterans partaking in the greatest pleasure Jiu-Jitsu avails: well-being.

A deft dancer and the superintendent of the building where he lives, Master Rosado now and again takes trips to teach seminars outside his stomping grounds. On one of them, he took on this mother lioness in Buenos Aires, without fearing the encounter for an instant. When he takes to travel, the academy is left in the hands of his son, Carlos “Massa” Rosado, a black belt of the most technical sort, and like his father, he’s well versed in the facets of Jiu-Jitsu involving self-defense.

Today happens to be the great teacher’s birthday. For his over 50 years sporting the gi, GRACIEMAG.com takes the opportunity to wish him copious amounts of health and an abundance of Jiu-Jitsu.

Master Rosado recently launched his website on the internet.

Dana White: Miguel Torres is back!

2012-01-01T03:54:00.000-08:00

Dana White: Miguel Torres is back!
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Nearly three weeks to the day, former WEC bantamweight kingpin and current UFC bantamweight contender Miguel Torres saw his career come tumbling down around him due to an inappropriate joke he mistakenly tweeted on his Twitter account.

On December 8th, UFC president Dana White stated in an interview with SI.com, that Torres had been cut from the UFC due to the following quote from the TV show 'Workaholics' made on Torres' Twitter page: "If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises."

Unfortunately, this came on the heels of two similarly controversial comments made by two former UFC light-heavyweight champions. On November 8th, like Torres, Forrest Griffin made a comment about rape on Twitter that was widely scrutinized. It was later explained that Griffin was simply commenting on the fact that everywhere you look in the news these days, there is a sexual assault case being discussed.

The biggest current national case in particular, involving former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, was later referenced on December 7th in a taunt from Rashad Evans toward Phil Davis during a FOX news conference to promote their upcoming bout on FOX in January. Davis is a former NCAA Division I wrestling national champion and graduate from Penn State.

Due to the mainstream media's heated coverage of the comments made by Griffin and Evans, the timing of Torres' "rape van" joke couldn't have come at a worse time. In fact, it came just one day after Evans' comment, which led to the UFC releasing him from the promotion.

After deleting the tweet and issuing a public apology on his personal website, Miguel Torres was very proactive in redeeming himself with his UFC bosses. Earlier today, Ariel Helwani reported on his Twitter page that White announced that Torres is now back with the company during a UFC 141 press conference. Apparently, Torres had donated money to local rape centers and visited them. White also said that Torres was very remorseful, emotional, and handled his business like a man with no one telling him to do it.

Torres then made the official announcement of his return to the UFC by using none other than his infamous Twitter account. Torres' first tweet since the incident went down, confirmed he's back and thanked his family, friends, supporters, fans, management, Dana White, and Lorenzo Fertitta.

145 King Aldo Signs Sponsorship Deal with Soccer Team Flamengo
By Gleidson Venga
RIO DE JANEIRO -- In the latest in a rush of MMA-soccer sponsorships, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo signed a sponsorship contract with his favorite soccer team, Rio de Janeiro’s Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, on Wednesday.

The 145-pound ruler will stamp his shell with Flamengo’s red and black jersey for his title defense against undefeated challenger Chad Mendes in the main event of UFC 142 in Rio on Jan. 14.

"It's a dream that’s been realized," said Aldo. "I always cheered, cried and followed Flamengo since childhood and now to be part of this company is wonderful.”

“He had already shown on several occasions the love he has for Flamengo. We had a few meetings before, but today, we confirmed our partnership,” added team president Patricia Amorim. “After dating for a long time, it has finally become a marriage. Jose Aldo now is part of our team!”

Aldo follows in the footsteps of recent MMA standouts signing with their favorite soccer clubs, including UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva signing with Sao Paulo-based club Corinthians and Paulo Thiago with Cruzeiro of Belo Horizonte.
