										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Em 2014, em entrevista ao repórter Ivan Trindade, o campeão inglês Oliver Geddes lançou um artigo em GRACIEMAG, sobre suas conquistas e a rotina como faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Oliver, falecido aos 40 anos esta semana, após lutar bravamente contra um câncer de intestino, listou os sonhos que realizara no esporte – como, por exemplo, conhecer cantos impensáveis do planeta, ou treinar com alguns dos lutadores mais respeitados da história do esporte.</p>
<p>Confira e aprenda com o eterno professor Oliver, um dos pioneiros da arte suave na Inglaterra.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Oli-Geddes-lutador-e-juiz.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="960" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245155" srcset="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Oli-Geddes-lutador-e-juiz.jpg 541w, https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Oli-Geddes-lutador-e-juiz-169x300.jpg 169w, https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Oli-Geddes-lutador-e-juiz-85x150.jpg 85w" sizes="(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px" /></p>
<p><strong>* Vivendo o sonho como um embaixador do Jiu-Jitsu</strong></p>
<p><em>Por Oliver Geddes, com Ivan Trindade</em></p>
<p>“Se você tivesse me dito no meu primeiro ano de faculdade que eu passaria os próximos dez anos da minha vida viajando e ganhando a vida como um artista marcial, eu jamais teria acreditado. Duvido que meus pais também ficassem impressionados, depois de anos investindo em minha educação, com a ideia de que eu seguisse um caminho mais convencional.</p>
<p>Pois graças ao Jiu-Jitsu, pude visitar dezenas de países ao redor do mundo. Compartilhei o tatame com alguns dos maiores praticantes da nossa era e recebi minha faixa-preta do maior competidor da história, meu professor Roger Gracie.</p>
<p>Conheci centenas, talvez milhares de pessoas unidas por uma paixão em comum por esse esporte. Pessoas que me abriram suas casas e academias sem nenhum motivo – além da arte suave, nosso elo.</p>
<p>Mas nem sempre foi fácil. No meu primeiro ano vivendo o sonho, passei seis meses hospedado num apartamento alugado por amigos. Dormia no chão do corredor, bem em frente ao banheiro, e a cada semana eu acordava quando um colega acidentalmente me chutava na cabeça ao passar por mim. Nos anos seguintes, adquiri pelo menos uma orelha de couve-flor impressionante, dedos que parecem galhos de árvore e uma lista completa de leves ferimentos que provavelmente ficarão comigo pelo resto da vida. Por outro lado, também tive experiências que ficarão comigo por anos.</p>
<p>Fiquei postado de noite numa arena ao ar livre em Abu Dhabi, e assisti a membros da Família Real torcendo por seus lutadores favoritos enquanto equipes de TV<br />
transmitiam as lutas ao vivo para todo o país. </p>
<p>Naquele mesmo estádio, me vi aquecendo ao lado de Marcelo Garcia e, ainda um faixa-roxa emocionado, perguntei se ele poderia apertar minha mão para atrair mais sorte. Ele estranhou, mas atendeu. Uma pena que isso não trouxe sorte o suficiente.</p>
<p>Dei uma de tradutor e pedi uma pizza pelo telefone do quarto dos irmãos Miyao. Fiquei sem acreditar enquanto um certo Rafael Mendes me finalizava em 20 segundos. Passei 11 semanas em turnê pelo Canadá e EUA, em nove cidades diferentes, onde competia e e treinava. A cada semana, eu passava um tempo com novo grupo de pessoas, novos parceiros de treino e um novo ambiente antes de lutar, arbitrar e me mudar para uma nova cidade para começar o ciclo novamente.</p>
<p>E quanto a arbitragem? Bem, só isso renderia um livro inteiro de experiências. Já fui ameaçado, insultado e me chamaram de cego inúmeras vezes, quando não me acusavam de ignorar as regras do Jiu-Jitsu. Mas também houve boas histórias. </p>
<p>Para escolher apenas uma, do Campeonato Mundial de 2014, eu estava arbitrando uma partida em que Bernardo Faria enfrentou um oponente que eu não reconheci. Depois de dominá-lo, ele se virou para mim com um sorriso enorme e me disse que havia perdido para ele na final de uma competição anos antes e que finalmente havia se vingado. Seu oponente também sorriu, eu levantei a mão de Bernardo e eles saíram do tatame como amigos, conversando e brincando um com o outro.</p>
<p>E agora, como terminar este pequeno pedaço de artigo jornalístico? Não sei, simplesmente porque o estilo de vida do Jiu-Jitsu é algo que não tem fim.</p>
<p>O Jiu-Jitsu abriu portas e caminhos que sequer podia imaginar na primeira vez que pisei num tatame. Mas o melhor de tudo é que a jornada, por mais incrível que tenha sido, está longe de terminar. Ainda há muito a ser feito.”</p>
<p>E você fez, Oli. Você fez.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/com-o-jiu-jitsu-oliver-geddes-realizou-sonhos-impensaveis-e-viveu-lances-epicos-como-juiz-e-competidor/">No Jiu-Jitsu, Oliver Geddes realizou sonhos impensáveis e viveu lances épicos como juiz e competidor</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Torneio criado em 1996 pela Federação de Jiu-Jitsu, o Campeonato Mundial da modalidade consagrou um seleto grupo de faixas-pretas que, após muito suor derramado no kimono e nos tatames, gravaram seu nome na história ao vencer a categoria absoluto, que permite atletas de todos os pesos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Em razão da pandemia do coronavírus, a edição 2020 do Mundial da IBJJF, inicialmente agendado para o fim do mês de maio, não foi realizada. Portanto, a lista de campeões absolutos da competição conta com 14 craques que contemplam a seleta lista.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Confira os lutadores que mais venceram o absoluto faixa-preta do Mundial da IBJJF, pela ordem (de títulos primeiramente, e por ano em caso de igualdade). E nos diga nos comentários: quem será o próximo rei absoluto do Jiu-Jitsu?</span></p>
<h3><strong>1. Marcus Vinicius “Buchecha” de Almeida (2012/13/14/16/17/19)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">O aluno de Rodrigo Cavaca, nascido em São Vicente, São Paulo, demorou a se decidir entre o surfe e o Jiu-Jitsu, mas sua opção se mostrou acertada. Promissor desde os 19 anos, Marcus Vinicius Buchecha tornou-se o primeiro faixa-preta a vencer três vezes o absoluto consecutivamente, tornando-se hexacampeão mundial absoluto em 2019. Peso pesadíssimo com agilidade de um atleta leve, Buchecha fez de sua meia-guarda uma arapuca, capaz de frear os melhores lutadores de sua geração. A partir de um jogo completo, que alia força, explosão, técnica e muita raça, Buchecha passou a não temer nenhuma técnica dos adversários, em pé ou no chão. Adepto de posições tradicionais aliadas a berimbolos modernos, Buchecha confunde qualquer oponente.</span></p>

<h3><strong>2. Roger Gracie (2007/09/10)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Professor carioca radicado em Londres, o esguio faixa-preta de Carlos Gracie Junior fez fama como o lutador mais eficiente do esporte – no Mundial 2009, por exemplo, o “Cobertor Gracie” asfixiou todos os seus oponentes no torneio. Primeiro tri mundial absoluto, Roger ficou famoso por seu jogo clássico, quase perfeito na defesa e mortal no ataque – seu estilo: cair por cima, passar a guarda e montar. Depois de vencer também o absoluto do ADCC, Roger decidiu se desafiar e migrou para o MMA, chegando até o UFC e mais tarde garantindo o cinturão do One Championship. Roger se aposentou em 2017, após estrangular o campeão Marcus Buchecha no Gracie Pro, em luta casada.</span></p>

<h3><strong>3. Alexandre “Xande” Ribeiro (2006/08)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Irmão mais novo do craque Saulo Ribeiro, Xande desceu de Manaus, a capital do Amazonas, disposto a igualar os títulos do irmão. E o superou, em quantidade de ouros em Mundiais. Com uma guarda quase impassável, Xande trouxe para o tabuleiro do Jiu-Jitsu um componente tático capaz de surpreender sempre – inclusive o velho rival Roger Gracie, derrotado por ele nas finais de 2006 (Rio de Janeiro) e 2008 (Califórnia).</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AOkVb60noO8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>4. Amaury Bitetti (1996/97)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Filho de lutador e formado no famigerado time de competição de Carlson Gracie, o passador de guarda Bitetti conquistou os principais títulos da arte suave em seu tempo, em duelos marcantes com seu arquirrival, Fabio Gurgel. Duro em pé e muito tático – chegou a não lutar a divisão de peso para garantir o absoluto –, o atleta da zona sul do Rio de Janeiro era um dos grandes expoentes do Jiu-Jitsu nos anos 1990, tendo atuado também em lutas de vale-tudo e no UFC.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X9f-GCYF1aY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>5. Marcio “Pé de Pano” Cruz (2002/03)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Orgulho da favela de Mata Machado, o guardeiro Marcio Pé de Pano aterrorizou seus contemporâneos com um jogo de pernas que alternava raspagens, triângulos e outras armas que compunham o arsenal do peso pesadíssimo de língua afiada. Pé de Pano aliava um jogo finalizador com divertidas provocações aos rivais, como o amigo Fernando Tererê, e ajudou a atrair popularidade ao Jiu-Jitsu. Como outros craques que reinaram no absoluto, Marcio também lutou no UFC.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y5JzyFJ7se4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>6. Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros (1999/2000)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Campeão completo desde as faixas coloridas, o lutador carioca formado por Romero “Jacaré” Cavalcanti ficou conhecido por apagar o brilho de outras estrelas do Jiu-Jitsu na virada do século, quando domou o ímpeto de craques como Fernando Margarida, Roberto Roleta e Nino Schembri, e se sagrou bi absoluto.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9NyXmfUWh3k" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>7. Ronaldo “Jacaré” Souza (2004/05)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Capixaba de Cariacica “exilado” em Manaus após uma infância cercada por amigos barra-pesada, Ronaldo Jacaré teve trajetória fulminante no Jiu-Jitsu, atraindo olhares de toda a comunidade desde a faixa-roxa. Seu jogo, de derrubar, cair no cem-quilos e finalizar quem passava pela frente, chegou ao ápice nos combates épicos contra Roger Gracie, em 2002 (ainda na faixa-marrom), 2004 e 2005. A final do absoluto com Roger em 2004, em que Jacaré resistiu a um armlock e venceu a luta com o braço esquerdo deslocado, é considerada por muitos a melhor luta do Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu de todos os tempos.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9AuwK7OXOys" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>8. José Mario Sperry (1998)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Economista de formação e piloto amador, o hoje empresário Zé Mario Sperry consagrou-se no absoluto em 1998, após uma guerra épica com Roberto Roleta. Forte em pé e um trator ao passar a guarda no chão, Sperry provou ser uma das garras mais afiadas do time Carlson Gracie naquele ano – seu rival, Roleta, teve parte do kimono rasgado tamanha a força da pegada poderosa de Zé Mario. Sperry ganharia ainda mais fama mundialmente nos torneios sem kimono em Abu Dhabi e no Pride japonês.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5sGt-KZYP3Y" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>9. Fernando “Margarida” Pontes (2001)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Faixa-preta paulista dono de um jogo imprevisível e ofensivo, Fernando Margarida ficou famoso no Jiu-Jitsu por finalizar e furar as maiores defesas do esporte. Jovem e dono de uma guarda habilidosa e passagens criativas, conquistou seu maior título da carreira, no absoluto em 2001, ao superar na final o altamente técnico Saulo Ribeiro. O lutador paulista foi o primeiro a vencer o peso (meio-pesado) e o absoluto faixa-preta no mesmo Mundial.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J0Z7E8HQWaM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><b></b></p>
<h3><strong>10. Rodolfo Vieira (2011)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garoto prodígio da GFTeam no Méier, zona norte do Rio de Janeiro, o jovem “rolo compressor” formado pelo professor Julio Cesar Pereira elevou a arte de amassar a um novo nível. Com braços de troncos e uma base em pé forte capaz de ludibriar as raspagens quase inevitáveis do rival Bê Faria, Rodolfo finalizou meio mundo na década de 2010. Conquistou o sonhado absoluto em 2011, em grande estilo, após final contra Bernardo. Hoje o craque do Jiu-Jitsu segue carreira firme no UFC, usando seu Jiu-Jitsu no MMA.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tN5X0RmRNk0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>11. Bernardo Faria (2015)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Passador de guarda temido e dono de uma das meia-guardas mais complicadas do Jiu-Jitsu, o mineiro de Juiz de Fora é famoso por apostar sempre no mesmo jogo – dando muita pressão nos rivais. O faixa-preta formado pela BTT de Juiz de Fora e adotado pela Alliance consagrou-se no absoluto em 2015, numa campanha quase perfeita em que obrigou o craque Leandro Lo a batucar, num armlock inescapável.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BCjgILZiu2M" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>12. Leandro Lo (2018)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Campeão mundial nos pesos leve, médio e meio-pesado, o octacampeão mundial Leandro Lo é unanimidade. Com seu jogo solto e imprevisível, com habilidades fora da curva tanto passando quanto na guarda, Leandro é favorito em qualquer torneio que participa, independente do peso ou adversário. Único título que faltava na sua carreira, o absoluto parecia inalcançável. A subida de categorias foi influenciada pelo sonho do título no aberto, o que fez Leandro atuar como super pesado em 2018. Na final do peso, porém, encarou Mahamed Aly e lesionou o ombro após uma queda assustadora. Sem o título no peso, Leandro rumou à final do absoluto, com vaga garantida mais cedo no mesmo dia, para encarar Marcus Buchecha. Machucado, Leandro não tinha condições de lutar e Buchecha ficaria com mais um título. Antes de pisar no tatame, porém, Buchecha combinou com o árbitro Rodrigo Totti: “Levanta a mão dele”. O resto é história. Leandro nos deixou de forma brutal na madrugada do dia 7 de agosto de 2022. O faixa-preta foi assassinado após ser baleado na cabeça por um policial militar durante uma festa, no Clube Sírio, em São Paulo.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IevcJ6nWtWY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><b></b></p>
<h3><strong>13. Fellipe Andrew (2021)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Atleta da Alliance formado pelo professor Rodrigo Cavaca, líder da Zenith, Fellipe Andrew foi pego de surpresa com a decisão da IBJJF de consagrá-lo campeão absoluto do Mundial 2021, após Felipe Preguiça, campeão do torneio, falhar no exame antidoping. Como o finalista Nicholas Meregali fora desclassificado por apontar o dedo médio em direção à torcida adversária após a semifinal, Andrew, terceiro colocado, foi legitimado campeão.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7LA85uWzlGA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><b></b></p>
<h3><strong>14. Nicholas Meregali (2022)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nicholas Meregali conquistou seu primeiro título absoluto na faixa-preta com méritos de sobra. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Num fim de semana quase perfeito, o guardeiro finalizou as três lutas que disputou no aberto para chegar à final. Após despachar Seif-Eddine e Wallace Costa, com ezequiéis bem tramados na guarda aberta, o astro finalizou Fellipe Andrew no armlock para confirmar a vaga na finalíssima. Momentos antes de disputar a decisão do aberto, Meregali foi derrotado por 6 a 4 por Erich Munis na final do superpesado. No entanto, o desfecho no absoluto foi outro. Em duelo acirrado, Nicholas derrotou Erich por uma vantagem, após o empate por 0 a 0 nos pontos, e assumiu o trono da modalidade. Nicholas Meregali se tornou apenas o segundo gaúcho a realizar a façanha. Antes dele, apenas o lendário José Mário Sperry, em 1998, alcançara o feito.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t-3O10BhVkM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>15. Victor Hugo (2023)</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">O astro cearense Victor Hugo Costa foi o grande nome do Campeonato Mundial 2023. O pupilo de Xande Ribeiro assumiu o trono deixado por Nicholas Meregali e foi coroado na Pirâmide de Long Beach, na Califórnia. Victor Hugo finalizou Erich Munis com um plástico leglock na final do aberto e conquistou o título mais almejado da modalidade. Com a vitória sobre Erich, o cearense conseguiu um feito raro que nem mesmo Xande alcançou em seus tempos áureos. Victor Hugo se tornou apenas o terceiro lutador a vencer por finalização na final do absoluto. Antes, apenas Roger Gracie e Rodrigo Comprido tinham liquidado a fatura na grande decisão do aberto.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Está com dificuldades em raspar colegas mais pesados nos treinos? Não se preocupe, estudioso leitor. O professor Ricardo Marques, formador de campeões, como o astro Bernardo Farias, na <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bttjuizdefora/">BTT Juiz de Fora</a>, em Minas Gerais, tem o antídoto. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ricardo e Bê Faria prepararam uma técnica básica e eficiente para você ampliar seu repertório de posições. O professor usa alavancas básicas e eficientes para executar a raspagem a partir da meia-guarda. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Repare que Ricardo solta uma lapela de Bê e passa por baixo da perna do campeão mundial absoluto. Em seguida, domina uma manga e faz uma alavanca para efetuar a raspagem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Confira a aula no vídeo abaixo, e bons estudos.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Campeão mundial no absoluto da faixa-preta em 2015 e tri no peso, Bernardo Faria se especializou em meia-guarda mediante os ensinamentos do professor Ricardo Marques, líder da Brazilian Top Team Juiz de Fora e que o graduou até a faixa-preta. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Para a aula de hoje, Ricardo e Bê prepararam uma técnica eficiente a partir da meia-guarda para você ampliar seu repertório de raspagens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Repare que Ricardo envolve a perna de Bernardo com a lapela e cola a cabeça na barriga de Bê. Em seguida, passa a lapela para a outra mão, domina uma das mangas de Bernardo para tirar o apoio dele e usa uma das pernas a fim de conseguir o impulso para raspar.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Campeão mundial absoluto pela IBJJF em 2015, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bernardofariabjj/">Bernardo Faria</a> é grato até hoje ao que aprendeu, de 2001 a 2009, no celeiro de craques da <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bttjuizdefora/">Brazilian Top Team Juiz de Fora</a>, célebre academia em Minas Gerais.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">O mineiro campeão, em papo com o GRACIEMAG.com, explicou esse legado em detalhes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Naqueles oito anos, aprendi a maior das lições do Jiu-Jitsu – que os resultados e conquistas só viriam com consistência e disciplina”, lembra Bernardo Faria. “E aprendi isso não por alertas nem conselhos, mas na prática: o Ricardo Marques jamais, um dia que fosse, chegava atrasado ou faltava a qualquer sessão de treino na academia.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">O professor só deixava de dar aulas em dias de Campeonato Brasileiro ou Mundial, algo que inspira Bê Faria até hoje.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Todo guru que a gente ouve hoje fala de consistência e perseverança, mas falar é uma coisa e cumprir é outra diferente. E com o Ricardo aprendi que não havia outro atalho”, assegura Bernardão. “Tive essa sorte, portanto, de ter como mentor o cara mais disciplinado e gente boa que conheci na vida. Essa consistência que aprendi na prática com ele valeu mais que qualquer livro ou qualquer faculdade. Espero que minha filha e alunos também um dia aprendam essa receita comigo. Se eu conseguir passar esses valores do Ricardo adiante, já me sentirei bem sucedido e realizado na vida.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">E você, o que aprendeu de mais valioso com seu mestre/mentor?</span></p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/a-chave-do-sucesso-no-jiu-jitsu-com-ricardo-marques-e-be-faria/">A chave do sucesso no Jiu-Jitsu, com Ricardo Marques e Bê Faria</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[First published in 2014.]</p>
<p>They say that you should fear not the man who knows ten thousand kicks, but rather the man who has practiced one kick a thousand times. Black-belt world champion Bernardo Faria is that guy who does half-guard &#8212; this is what he&#8217;s known for. And we know this because he does it to every single opponent. He does it every day in the gym.</p>
<p>What he calls his &#8220;blue-belt half-guard&#8221; is a game he started as a blue-belt and has continued to use until now, after being a black-belt for six years and earning a black belt world title. It works because he has spent many, many hours on it. It works against the toughest opponents, against guys who know how to defend deep half and guys who have the strongest base.</p>
<p>He recently released a highlight of him completing a half-guard sweep over and over again on some of the most accomplished athletes in this sport.</p>
<p>What he has to say about choosing a specific game is this:</p>
<p>&#8220;In my opinion, to know a lot of techniques is not the hardest part. Everyone can know a lot of techniques if you really study jiu-jitsu. But I think the hardest part is knowing a technique so well that you are able to use it in any situation at any time. Like Malcolm Gladwell explains in his book <em>Outliers </em>regarding the ten thousand hours needed to find success, the hardest part is to spend the ten thousand hours on something. As long as you spend a lot of time on one thing, then you can become an expert on that one thing. I think what many people do is they change a lot and they don&#8217;t focus on one game.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I think that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done. I have probably spent ten thousand hours doing half-guard. &#8221;</p>

GRACIEMAG</p></div>
<p>The speed that information travels, thanks to the internet, may be the defining aspect of the era we live in. But alongside content that has relevance and quality, we have witnessed the rise of fake news &#8212; and it travels just as fast. In BJJ, as in any other field, fake news can be dangerous, as they spread wrong philosophies or give credit to harmful practices.</p>
<p>So we decided to invite a few teachers to say what, in their opinion, is the biggest piece of fake news about BJJ that they&#8217;ve heard. Here are their thoughts.</p>
<p>Fabio Gurgel: “The biggest piece of fake news? Wanting to turn the new generation of BJJ into Nutella. These kids are too tough!&#8221;</p>
<p>Roberto Godoi: &#8220;The most fun piece of fake news is that one popularized by UFC fans, about Steven Seagal. It was always hilarious to see the movie star give that final &#8216;polish&#8217; moments before an athlete would go in for a fight.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zé Mario Sperry: &#8220;The biggest bit of fake news I&#8217;ve seen lately in the BJJ community is that athlete that posts a picture with a medal on his chest, boasting &#8212; and the title came after just one match, and won by W.O. at that. Brilliant.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bernardo Faria: “Tough one, but something that is fake in BJJ is when that higher-ranked guy turns to you and proclaims, &#8216;Oh, that position doesn&#8217;t work.&#8217; I will never agree with that. Maybe that technique doesn&#8217;t work for <em>you</em> but fits great in someone else&#8217;s game. My half-guard is an example: When I started doing it, I&#8217;d let all my opponents arrive on top and gain the underhook, and I heard over and over that I could never let that happen, that it was a mistake&#8230; But I&#8217;d always end up sweeping everybody from there. In BJJ, there&#8217;s no right or wrong, and everything can work, as long as you comprehend the position deeply and know the right time to use that technique.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rafael Dallinha: “Fake news in BJJ is the matter of learning only online, without ever having trained on a mat with a real master, and getting promoted even so. I&#8217;m not chastising online learning in any way, which presently has many very high-level teachers helping students through this format; but I believe that in-person classes are vital to the total comprehension of the gentle art, its history and its benefits.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rolles Gracie: &#8220;In this age of fake news, the world of BJJ isn&#8217;t free from it. There are many frauds out there teaching in schools or showing techniques on Instagram. The student must watch out, do their research well to avoid getting duped.&#8221;</p>
<p>Muzio De Angelis: “Easy one: Fake news in BJJ is saying that Renzo Gracie will retire one day. We all know that Renzo will be fighting until the last day of his life — like, really old. Renzo, my man, you will be doing MMA at 70. Oss!&#8221;</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/poll-what-is-the-biggest-bit-of-fake-news-in-bjj/">Poll: What is the biggest bit of fake news in BJJ?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>With the lists and brackets defined for another edition of the IBJJF Worlds, our readers noticed the absence of a few names, and we went after some answers.</p>
<p>Our investigation turned up some breaking news: Absent from the super-heavyweight contest, 2015 absolute champion Bernardo Faria (Alliance) has confirmed to Graciemag that he does not intend to come back. We were surprised, but he cleared it up.</p>
<p>&#8220;Man, the truth is I&#8217;m retired from competition, indeed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have other projects that are growing a lot, like my website of videos with BJJ techniques, and I&#8217;m focused on that. Because of that, I think last year marked in fact my last championship.&#8221;</p>
<p>Besides Bernardo, there are other missing black-belts on the brackets provided by the federation. Erberth Santos (absent due to personal reasons), Victor Genovesi and José Carlos Cocó (both injured) and Rubens Charles &#8220;Cobrinha&#8221; are among the top-tier athletes we will not have the privilege of seeing in this year&#8217;s Worlds.</p>
<p>Check out below a highlight reel of Bernardo Faria, a world champion in 2010, 2013 and 2015.</p>

<p>Bernardo Faria had a dream-like 2015 world championship, one year ago.</p>
<p>He submitted all but one of his opponents on his way to a double gold campaign and his first black belt open class title.</p>
<p>One year later, the champion is working hard to keep his place on top of the Jiu-Jitsu food chain with his teammates and students at Marcelo Garcia&#8217;s academy, in New York City.</p>
<p>He took some time to talk exclusively with the GRACIEMAG.com</p>
<p><strong>GRACIEMAG.COM: Compared to the 2015 Worlds, how prepare are you to the 2016 Worlds? How are you going to arrive in Long Beach in terms of technique and physical conditioning?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bernardo Faria</strong>: I tried to do practically the same thing I did before the 2015 Worlds. I have 10 training sessions per week, divided in seven Jiu-Jitsu sessions, two physical conditioning sessions and one wrestling session. I feel great. Ten days before the 2015 Pan, I injured one of my ribs and that&#8217;s why I competed only in the open class. Now, I am 100% recovered and feeling great. I am also very happy. The fact that I already won the open class once gives me a good baggage and add to my confidence going in. I feel less of a pressure that comes with never having won the open class. In fact I wanted the tournament to come sooner. There&#8217;s still two weeks to go and that&#8217;s when it gets dangerous, once you are already ready to go, but you cannot stop training and that&#8217;s when you can get hurt.</p>

<p><strong>GRACIEMAG.COM: For the first time in your career, you&#8217;ll compete at the Worlds as the reigning black belt open class champion. How is your mindset to compete in the pyramid?</strong></p>
<p>I felt more pressure before I won last year. I don&#8217;t see the fact that I am the current champion as more pressure, but rather as a motivation. I feel more relaxed now. I&#8217;ll be there with the same desire to win I always have. I don&#8217;t know for how long I&#8217;ll be able to compete as I don&#8217;t know for how long I&#8217;ll be able to take this competitor&#8217;s life, but until I stop I will give my best. So that in the future, when I look back, I&#8217;ll be able to see that I gave my best to conquer all I could conquer. So it&#8217;s a motivation to win a second time. I may win and I may loose, so it&#8217;s all a big motivation for me.</p>
<p><strong>GRACIEMAG.COM: The 2016 Worlds could be one of the most stacked of the recent times. The open class alone could gather names like yourself, Buchecha, Pena, Trans, Lo, Keenan, Erberth, Mahamed, Galvão, Barral, etc. How do you plan to beat all of those tough guys and keep your title?</strong></p>
<p>Honestly, I don&#8217;t think a lot about the opponents. There are at least 15 very tough guys, but even if you go all the way to become the open class champion, you are not going to compete against all of them. You&#8217;ll fight three, four or five tops. So, at this moment I am thinking about myself, about my training and the techniques I still struggle with. Whenever I see someone doing a position I think I could have trouble with, I work on that. I&#8217;ll think about the opponents when the open class bracket comes out, and even then I&#8217;ll worry with one opponent at at time. I&#8217;ll take one step at a time. In every competition, my mindset is humble in a way that I know I could be finished in my first match, but confident in a way that I know I could win it all. I&#8217;m always humble and confident at the same time.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to register for the 2016 World championship.</p>
<p>The deadline is May 24.</p>
