										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-111818" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/200837_2876249104404_7822659_o-3.jpg" alt="Team Brazil ready to embark to the 1995 Pan" width="640" height="478"> <em>Team Brazil ready to embark to the 1995 Pan. Pictures: Rodrigo Clark&#8217;s archives</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Há apenas alguns vídeos sobre isso no YouTube.</p>
<p>É quase impossível encontrar fotos do evento também.</p>
<p>Os resultados finais nem sequer são postados nas páginas da IBJJF ou da CBJJ.</p>
<p>Mesmo assim, aconteceu.</p>
<p>Em junho de 1995, o primeiro campeonato Pan Jiu-Jitsu aconteceu em Irvine, Califórnia.</p>
<p>Os atletas brasileiros voaram todos juntos do Rio para competir.</p>
<p>Entre eles, pessoas como Roberto &#8220;Gordo&#8221; Correa, Marcio Feitosa, Alexandre Soca, Rodrigo Clark, Marcelo Tetel, Rommel Cardozo, Leão Teixeira, Fernando Yamasaki, Vinicius Draculino e muitos outros.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-111834" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/6373_1188351469494_6322894_n.jpg" alt="Competitors and his medals. " width="604" height="394"> <em>Competitors and his medals after the tournament in California, in 1995.</em></p>
<p>O fundador da GRACIEMAG, Luca Atalla, então um competidor de 21 anos, também estava lá e conseguiu uma medalha de prata e relatou o evento para o &#8220;Jornal Gracie&#8221;, o embrião da GRACIEMAG.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fiz cinco lutas no peso leve faixa-azul e fiquei com a prata&#8221;, relembra Luca.</p>
<p>Hoje mestre, José Henrique Leão Teixeira atuou como árbitro no primeiro Pan. Ele conta um pouco sobre a aventura de organizar um campeonato nos anos 1990:</p>
<p><a href="Ze Beleza "><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-111950" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/pan-2.jpg" alt="Zé Beleza refereeing in 1995" width="640" height="438"></a> <em>Leão Teixeira refereeing during first BJJ Pan-Ams, in 1995</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Foi um grande teste para nós. O Carlos Gracie Jr (Presidente da CBJJ) tinha um plano de fazer um campeonato fora do Brasil, pois sentia que o Jiu-Jitsu precisava crescer e isso só aconteceria com um torneio nos Estados Unidos. A ideia era fazer uma grande disputa Brasil x EUA, estilo Brasileiro de Equipes. O primeiro desafio foi conseguir vistos para todos os atletas, mais de 40. Conseguimos uma reunião com o Cônsul Americano no Rio, o Sr. Olsen, se não me engano. Viajamos com um grupo enorme, muitos deles em sua primeira viagem internacional. Fomos recebidos pelo Joe Moreira em Irvine e o clima no hotel era de completa euforia. Todos queriam competir tanto que o gerente do hotel reservou uma sala separada para os caras treinarem. Foi muito bom ver caras de todos os times rolando juntos. O dia do evento começou com o hino brasileiro tocando e todos os atletas se formando no tatame. Lembro de uma grande luta entre o aluno do Joe Moreira, Bob Bass, e o Marcio Feitosa, na faixa-marrom.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&#8220;Foi uma batalha e o Marcinho foi derrotado pela primeira vez desde que era faixa amarela&#8221;, lembra Leão Teixeira. &#8220;No final, foi um evento que muitos não acreditavam que conseguiríamos organizar. Fizemos tudo, desde a montagem dos tatames até a arbitragem. Quando voltamos para o Brasil, tivemos a sensação de estar contribuindo com o crescimento do esporte.&#8221;</p>

<p>Rodrigo Clark, fundador da GB Santa Barbara, não esquece o campeonato, do qual guardou memórias e fotografias hoje esmaecidas:</p>
<p>&#8220;O Pan 95 foi um divisor de águas na minha vida, dentro e fora dos tatames. Não foi só minha primeira competição fora do Brasil, mas também a primeira vez que competi como &#8216;adulto&#8217;. Eu tinha apenas 17 anos na época e só tinha competido como juvenil. Foi uma experiência incrível poder competir com os grandes nomes do esporte. A viagem para os EUA foi importante para o desenvolvimento do Jiu-Jitsu. Até então, havia uma barreira enorme dividindo as academias no Brasil. Depois daquele campeonato, começou a mudar. Durante a viagem, tivemos a chance de conhecer nossos maiores rivais, o que criou muito respeito entre nós. Lembro-me do momento do embarque para os EUA, quando mal nos conhecíamos e também do momento em que voltamos, quando novas amizades já estavam formadas. Tenho certeza de que todos que participaram daquela viagem têm muitas lembranças ótimas daqueles dias de glória, luta e diversão.&#8221;</p>
<p>O medalhista de ouro Alexandre &#8220;Soca&#8221; Carneiro, líder da Soca BJJ em Nova York, também estava naquele grupo que viajou do Rio para competir nos EUA. Ele conta o que lembra do primeiro Pan:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-111836" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/192120_2877439694168_4371899_o-1024x760.jpg" alt="Rodrigo Clark and the rest o the team waiting to fly to the USA" width="800" height="593"> <em>Rodrigo Clark e a turma do Jiu-Jitsu no aguardo do voo para a Califórnia. Foto: Arquivos GRACIEMAG/Clark</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Acredito que foi minha primeira viagem internacional para competir&#8221;, lembra Soca. &#8220;Fizemos uma prova no Rio para decidir quem iria e ganhei o direito de competir representando o Brasil. Infelizmente, quando chegamos à Califórnia, Fernando Yamasaki decidiu não competir na minha divisão e, em vez disso, lutar contra meu companheiro de equipe Vinicius Draculino no peso-pluma. Acabei com uma medalha sem lutar. O evento foi legal, mas não havia muitos competidores. O bom mesmo foi reunir um monte de amigos de várias gerações e academias. Gostaria de ter competido, mas ainda assim foi legal estar lá.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vinicius Magalhães, o Draculino, conta o que lembra da luta: &#8220;Foi um evento histórico e foi um prazer participar. Não tínhamos muitos faixas-pretas naquela época. Na minha categoria, a pluma-leve, só tinha eu, então lutei com o Fernando Yamasaki. Essa luta foi o divisor de águas em que decidi levar minha carreira no Jiu-Jitsu a sério. Eu sabia que com aquele campeonato o esporte tinha se lançado internacionalmente.&#8221;</p>

<p>Dois dos mais técnicos pesos-penas da antiga, Alexandre &#8220;Soca&#8221; Freitas e Robson  Moura estarão novamente frente a frente. No último dia do WPJJC 2016, no domingo 23 de abril, será realizado o Abu Dhabi Legends, um duelo entre renomados atletas do Jiu-Jitsu em três lutas casadas para o deleite do fã da arte suave, e um destes combates será o reencontro de Soca com Robson Moura. O terceiro duelo entre ambos. Nas demais lutas, Marcio Pé de Pano luta com Rodrigo Comprido e Vitor Shaolin enfrenta Daniel Moraes.</p>
<p>Cria da Gracie Barra e fundador da academia Soca BJJ, Alexandre dedicou a última década para ensinar, mas o novo duelo com Robinho reacendeu a chama de competidor no casca-grossa, que conversou com GRACIEMAG sobre o combate e suas expectativas para atuar mais uma vez em Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p>No papo, Soca disse que o confere tem tudo para ser um dos grandes da noite, e que, apesar das suas obrigações como professor, seu gás vai estar excelente.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hoje em dia, apesar de mais velho e de ter muitas outras obrigações, me sinto muito melhor competidor do que antigamente, e até mais preparado fisicamente. Faço um trabalho de condicionamento físico aqui na academia, com a minha esposa, e tenho um bom ritmo de treino com os alunos. Nos últimos três anos ganhei todos os eventos internacionais em minha categoria&#8221;, disse a fera.</p>
<p>Ele também analisou as qualidades de Robinho, cria da Nova União, que estará do outro lado do tatame. Soca relembrou os duelos anteriores e fez sua projeção da luta.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nós já lutamos duas vezes. Na primeira foi num Brasileiro e a luta estava bem dura até eu finalizar nas costas. A segunda foi sem kimono, no ADCC, em Abu Dhabi, na disputa pelo terceiro lugar. Eu investi numa guilhotina que estava bem encaixada e ele saiu da área do tatame. Achei que ele ia bater, até que o juiz parou e voltou a luta em pé, e me deu apenas uma vantagem. Depois disso ele entrou nas minhas pernas duas vezes. Eu tentei outras guilhotinas que não funcionaram e então ele pontuou e ganhou a luta&#8221;, recordou.</p>
<p>&#8220;O Robinho é muito bom, tanto por cima quanto por baixo, e eu também me sinto à vontade nas duas posições. Vou tentar chegar nas minhas posições de finalização e soltar o jogo. O lado positivo para mim é o fato dele soltar o jogo também. Vai ser um lutão&#8221;, concluiu.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/alexandre-soca-analisa-trilogia-contra-robinho-moura-no-abu-dhabi-legends-de-jiu-jitsu/">Alexandre Soca analisa “trilogia” contra Robinho Moura no Abu Dhabi Legends</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>The champions of the first edition shared a total money prize of over US$70,000.</p>
<p>It was the creation of Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast since he first got in touch with the gentle art while studying in the USA.</p>
<p>Sheik Tahnoon himself was responsible for coming up with the rules and training the referees.</p>
<div id="attachment_141824" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-141824" class="size-full wp-image-141824" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/renzo-e-principe.jpg" alt="Renzo Gracie and Sheik Tahnoon. Photo by Luca Atalla" width="640" height="427" /><p id="caption-attachment-141824" class="wp-caption-text">Renzo Gracie and Sheik Tahnoon. Photo by Luca Atalla</p></div>
<p>A total of 72 fighters were brought in for the first edition of the event, divided in five divisions: 66kg (8), 77kg (16), 88kg (16), 99kg (16) and +99kg (16).</p>
<p>The event featured athletes from Brazil, USA, Russia, Spain, Canada, UAE, Italy, Australia, Porto Rico, Iraq, Iran, Philippines, Jordan, Palestine, Morocco and Egypt.</p>
<p>They represented fighting arts such as Jiu-Jitsu, judo, wrestling, sambo and pancrase.</p>
<p>The event paid almost all expenses of the athletes and a few other people invited.</p>
<div id="attachment_141826" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-141826" class="size-full wp-image-141826" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/zemario-x-cachorrao.jpg" alt="Zé Mário vs. Cachorrão. Photo by Luca Atalla" width="640" height="427" /><p id="caption-attachment-141826" class="wp-caption-text">Zé Mário vs. Cachorrão. Photo by Luca Atalla</p></div>
<p>A car and two jet skis were raffled, along with free tickets to several destinations in Europe.</p>
<p>A brand new arena was built in a venue that used to hold horse shows and it included the three mats for the competition.</p>
<p>Besides the money prize, the open class champion was also awarded with an Arabic dagger made of gold.</p>
<p>Robin (66kg), Renzo (77kg) and Rodrigo (88kg) represented the Gracie family at the event.</p>
<p>Five men have the honor of saying they are part of the first class of ADCC champions: Alexandre Soca (66kg), Renzo Gracie (77kg), Rodrigo Gracie (88kg), Zé Mário Sperry (99kg) and Ricco Rodriguez (+99kg).</p>
<p>Sperry doubled his honor with the open class title.</p>
<div id="attachment_141828" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-141828" class="size-full wp-image-141828" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/soca0.jpg" alt="Alexandre Soca. Photo by Luca Atalla" width="640" height="427" /><p id="caption-attachment-141828" class="wp-caption-text">Alexandre Soca. Photo by Luca Atalla</p></div>
<p>The finals of each division were all thrilling matches.</p>
<p>Soca and Robin Gracie battled for almost 30 minutes including the sudden death overtime. Soca managed a rear naked choke to secure the gold medal. In addition to his gold medal, Soca was also elected the most technical athlete of the event.</p>
<p>Renzo Gracie imposed his game over Luis Brito and finished the match with a choke from the mount to win the first of his two ADCC titles. Renzo competed in the first ADCC only five days after fighting Sanae Kikuta at Pride 2, in Japan.</p>
<p>Rodrigo Gracie faced Russian Karim Barklaev in the final and had to use all his conditioning to beat the strong owrestler. After 30 minutes (including the overtime), he took gold for being more aggressive.</p>
<p>Zé Mário and Ricardo &#8220;Cachorrão&#8221; Almeida waged the best match of the event. Cachorrão attempted a guillotine from the get go, but Sperry defended well. He eventually got the gold medal for passing Ricardo&#8217;s guard. The movement happened before the points started being counted, but the judges considered it enough to award Sperry the victory.</p>
<div id="attachment_141830" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-141830" class="size-full wp-image-141830" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/rodrigo-gracie.jpg" alt="Rodrigo Gracie. Photo by Luca Atalla" width="640" height="427" /><p id="caption-attachment-141830" class="wp-caption-text">Rodrigo Gracie. Photo by Luca Atalla</p></div>
<p>Ricco Rodriguez wrote his name in ADCC history with a guard pass over Sean Alvarez close to the end of the 20-minute regulation time.</p>
<p>A funny fact regarding the final results of the +99kg in 1998 is that it still is the only male division in history that had no Brazilian among the semifinalists (in 2007, the -55kg female division also had no Brazilians among the semifinalists).</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep_hwR37wUQ</p>
<p>In the open class, eight competitors signed up to compete for $11,000 and the aforementioned golden dagger.</p>
<p>After beating their two opponents each, Sperry and Ricardo Morais were supposed to meet in the final, but the Brazilian MMA giant had a injured elbow and could not compete, leaving the path open for Sperry to win his second gold medal.</p>
<p>After it was over, the athletes were invited for a cruise with the presence of Sheik Tahnoon himself.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a photo gallery with rare pictures of the event taken by Luca Atalla.</p>

<p>Phillipe Nover recebeu sua faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu, das mãos do GMA Alexandre Soca, no momento em que chegou às finais do reality show The Ultimate Fighter.</p>
<p>Algumas lutas depois, com direito a resultados ruins em disputas duras, parelhas, Nover foi cortado do UFC. Para completar, uma contusão no pescoço começou a se agravar, e enquanto ele continuava a trabalhar como enfermeiro, atleta e professor de Jiu-Jitsu, precisou ir a um médico. Este, prontamente, recomendou que operasse.</p>
<div id="attachment_38271" style="width: 518px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-38271" class="size-full wp-image-38271" title="Nover" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Nover1.jpg" alt="" width="508" height="480" /><p id="caption-attachment-38271" class="wp-caption-text">A vitória no muay thai do faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu, em Nova York. Registro de Cristian Buitron.</p></div>
<p>Como qualquer procedimento, ainda mais quando envolve uma região delicada como o pescoço, a coisa o preocupou. Phillipe recebeu duas opções de cirurgia, uma conservadora e uma mais moderna, porém mais agrassiva e arriscada. Ele foi com a segunda opção.</p>
<p>A operação foi um total sucesso, e o faixa-preta voltou rapidamente aos dojôs e ringues, e Phillipe acredita que o procedimento bem sucedido vai ajudá-lo a retomar o sucesso no MMA.</p>
<p>Outro passo importante foi sua primeira luta profissional de muay thai, em Nova York, na última sexta-feira, dia 10. Em luta empolgante, Nover dominou totalmente seu oponente, que já havia feito cinco lutas profissionalmente. Um nocaute no primeiro assalto comprovou que Phillipe está mais saudável que nunca. O enfermeiro mais brabo de Nova York promete retomar logo a carreira no MMA, e fazer muito barulho ainda.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30310" title="_mg_5673" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mg_5673.jpg" alt="" width="573" height="401" />Phillipe Nover received his black belt from our GMA Alexandre Soca at the same time he reached the finale of the Ultimate Fighter. A couple of fights later and some tough, close matches that resulted in losses, he was cut from the UFC. To add to the bad luck, a neck injury continued to become aggravated and although he continued working as a registered nurse, training and teaching Jiu-Jitsu, the neck discomfort became such that he had to see a doctor who recommended surgery.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30309" title="i-TRXnfDq-M" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/i-TRXnfDq-M.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="426" />Like any procedure, particularly involving the neck, it is always a source for concern. Nover was given two surgical options one more conservative and a second one more modern but also more aggressive and riskier. He opted to go with the second procedure.</p>
<p>Thankfully the surgery was a total success and Phillipe almost immediately returned to the mats and the ring and is now more convinced than ever that this successful procedure was the first step to his comeback to MMA.</p>
<p>The second step to his return was his first professional Muay Thai fight in NYC this Friday, June 10th.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/following-complicated-neck-surgery-victory/">Following complicated neck surgery, victory</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
