<p>That Godofredo “Pepey” Castro is a Jiu-Jitsu ace and unbeaten in MMA, even Brazilian sports commentator Galvão Bueno knows. But who is the first TUF Brazil finalist really?</p>
<p>To begin, Pepey has been fighting since he was 12 years of age, which may help to explain some things. From the city of Fortaleza, in the Northeast Brazilian state of Ceará, the 24-year-old has amassed numerous medals around the northeastern region, both in Jiu-Jitsu and in MMA. With his crafty guard, <a title="facebook pepey" href="http://www.facebook.com/pepey.vidalonga" target="_blank">Godofredo Pepey</a> commands respect for his intricate fighting style, as well as for his charisma and friendly nature outside of the ring.</p>
<p>“He treats everyone the same. He greets everybody, talks to everyone, is always friendly. He never goes out at night. His thing is training and teaching his students, who happen to be winning most of the Jiu-Jitsu tournaments here in Ceará,” explained the black belt Claudio Oliveira, Pepey&#8217;s brothers and one of the first people to encourage him.</p>
<p>Pepey now holds black belts in Jiu-Jitsu and Thai boxing (in Brazil there are belts for Thai boxing), has amassed 11 MMA wins—three of them in the TUF house. “He&#8217;s living out a dream. It is all he ever wanted. He deserves everything he&#8217;s going through; he&#8217;s a hard worker,” added the finalist&#8217;s brother.</p>
<h3>If you believe in yourself, soon others will too.</h3>
<p>“He&#8217;s never been in an IBJJF World Championship because he lacked sponsorship. However, here in the Northeast he&#8217;s a seven-time North/Northeastern champion and two-time Ceará State champion. He never gave up on his dream of making a living through fighting,” said the brother, underscoring the biggest lesson of Pepey&#8217;s career: always believe in yourself, otherwise no one else will.</p>
<p>“In Jiu-Jitsu here in the state, his biggest rivalries on the mat were with Caio Magalhães [now in the UFC], Helio Mourão and Thiago Goiabeira,” he further elaborated.</p>
<p><iframe title="Caio vs Pepey" width="650" height="488" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fLb0jk-jGAI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>“He started training under me, after that he went to Ricardo Holanda. He also trained with Manoel Soares, William Couto, Carlos David, and for the last five years he&#8217;s been training with Marcio Guilherme &#8216;Cupim&#8217; at MG team,” Claudio added.</p>
<p>The Ceará native with brown eyes and naturally black hair (when he doesn&#8217;t die it orange) is a black belt Jiu-Jitsu newcomer generating the biggest buzz on TV. In his hometown he is affectionately approached when at the bakery and on the street. Last Monday morning, having his customary coffee, the last mystery cleared the air. Why the nickname “Pepey”?</p>
<p>“My sisters nicknamed him Pepey. He was a pesky kid. They just started calling him Pepey, Pepey out of the blue, and it stuck,” recalled the brother.</p>
<p>At 1.80 meters and weighing 66 kg, Pepey awaits his opponent in the “TUF Brazil” final, to be determined between of the semifinal pitting Hugo Wolverine and favored-to-win Rony Jason—who Pepey happens to have already faced in the gi.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/who-is-bjj-black-belt-and-tuf-brazil-finalist-godofredo-pepey/">Who is BJJ black belt and TUF Brazil finalist Godofredo Pepey?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Que Godofredo &#8220;Pepey&#8221; Castro é uma fera do Jiu-Jitsu e está invicto no MMA, até o Galvão Bueno sabe. Mas quem é afinal o primeiro finalista do &#8220;TUF Brasil&#8221;, o reality show que está mexendo com a Rede Globo?</p>
<p>Pepey, para começar, luta desde os 12 anos de idade, o que talvez já explique muita coisa. Cearense de Fortaleza, o magrinho de 24 anos coleciona diversos títulos no Nordeste, tanto no Jiu-Jitsu como no MMA. Dono de uma guarda afiadíssima, <a title="facebook pepey" href="http://www.facebook.com/pepey.vidalonga" target="_blank">Godofredo Pepey</a> é respeitado pelo seu estilo de lutar, bem plástico, e também pelo seu carisma e gentileza fora do ringue.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ele trata todo mundo igual. Cumprimenta todo mundo, fala com geral, sempre simpático. Ele não sai de noite nunca, o lance dele é treinar e dar aulas para seus alunos, que aliás estão ganhando a maioria dos campeonatos de Jiu-Jitsu aqui no Ceará&#8221;, garante o faixa-preta Claudio Oliveira, irmão do lutador e um de seus primeiros incentivadores.</p>
<p>Pepey hoje é faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu e muay thai, acumula 11 vitórias no MMA – três delas na casa do TUF. &#8220;Ele está vivendo um sonho. Era tudo o que ele sempre quis, ele merece tudo que ele está passando, é um batalhador&#8221;, ressalta o mano.</p>
<p><strong>Se você acredita em si, outros também logo vão acreditar</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Ele nunca disputou o Mundial da IBJJF por falta de patrocínio. Porém, aqui no Nordeste ele é heptacampeão Norte/Nordeste e dez vezes campeão cearense. Ele nunca abriu mão do seu sonho de viver da luta&#8221;, disse o irmão, reforçando a lição maior da carreira de Pepey: acredite em si sempre, se não os outros é que não vão acreditar.</p>
<p>&#8220;No Jiu-Jitsu aqui no estado, as maiores rivalidades dele dentro do tatame foram com o Caio Magalhães (hoje no UFC), Helio Mourão e o Thiago Goiabeira&#8221;, acrescenta o irmão.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Caio vs Pepey" width="650" height="488" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fLb0jk-jGAI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Ele começou a treinar comigo, depois foi aluno do Ricardo Holanda. Treinou ainda com Manoel Soares, William Couto, Carlos David, e nos últimos cinco anos treina com o Marcio Guilherme &#8216;Cupim&#8217;, na equipe MG&#8221;, completou Claudio.</p>
<p>O cearense de olhos castanhos e cabelos pretos por natureza (quando não faz uso de tinta laranja) é o faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu novato mais comentado da TV. Na sua cidade, ele sente o carinho da galera na padaria e quando anda pelas ruas. Na manhã da última segunda-feira, no tradicional cafezinho que ele toma, um último mistério pairou no ar. Por que o apelido &#8220;Pepey&#8221;?</p>
<p>&#8220;O apelido Pepey foi minhas irmãs que colocaram na verdade. Ele era um moleque muito danado, ou popularmente falando, muito apimentado! Do nada, elas começaram a chamar de Pepey, Pepey, aí pegou&#8221;, relembra o irmão.</p>
<p>Com 1,80m e 66kg, Pepey aguarda seu adversário nas finais do &#8220;TUF Brasil&#8221;, rival que vai sair do combate entre Hugo Wolverine e o favorito Rony Jason – com quem Pepey, aliás, já lutou com kimono.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/quem-e-godofredo-pepey-faixa-preta-de-jiu-jitsu-e-finalista-do-tuf-brasil/">Quem é Godofredo Pepey, faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu e finalista do TUF Brasil</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>GMA member Roberto Traven travelled recently to Richmond, Virginia.</p>
<p>The leader of Traven BJJ, in Atlanta Georgia, taught a seminar, but that was not all.</p>
<p>In addition, the two times black belt world champion graduated no less than 22 students.</p>
<p>Among them, there was  black belt Carlos David, who received his third stripe.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s almost 18 years in Jiu-Jitsu, where I lived incredible moments and certainly also some disappointments, but that&#8217;s part of life, you know, happy to be the only third-degree black belt in Virginia&#8221;, said the Ceará.</p>
