										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The saying above is a tidy synthesis of the process of applying one&#8217;s self that every Jiu-Jitsu fighter goes through. Embracing such a lifestyle that imposes so much sacrifice and so many daily challenges is indeed an invitation to give up. Starting at white belt, we forgo so many things to pursue learning, but as the old adage goes, “every choice you make is a renunciation of something”.</p>
<p>Here in the Middle East, I&#8217;ve witnessed many tales of perseverance in this regard. They&#8217;re pretty much the same ones people go through in Brazil or other parts of the world. What really draws attention, though, are the efforts of Arab women. Yes, since the cultural complexity of this region makes such determined women into more than just trailblazers, but heroines.</p>

<p>We have in Lebanon today a pregnant teacher, Jordan&#8217;s Ghalia Smith. Recently Ghalia even struck a deal with the Brazilian embassy to teach Jiu-Jitsu at the Brazilian Cultural Center in Beirut.</p>
<p>In Abu Dhabi, the first activity of the day at the women&#8217;s military school is Jiu-Jitsu class. Footnote: the military students there start their day at 4 am.</p>
<p>And last weekend, Professor Cassuza Fornari, who lives in Abu Dhabi, received an invitation from eight Jordanian white belts to conduct a seminar for women in the capital city, Amman. They organized and financed the seminar directly, without any interference from their teacher, black belt Samy Al Jamal. The teacher, obviously, granted use of the mat and supported the idea.</p>
<p>Such endeavors taking place leads one to believe that soon we will be seeing more and more female black belts around these parts. From the look of it, these are women who don&#8217;t know what it is to quit.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/a-black-belt-is-a-white-belt-who-never-quit/">A black belt is a white belt who never quit</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>O ditado acima reflete bem o processo de esforço de todo lutador de Jiu-Jitsu. Abraçar um estilo de vida que propõe tantos sacrifícios e desafios diários é de fato um convite à desistência. Desde a faixa-branca, abrimos mão de muitas coisas para buscar esse aprendizado, mas como diz outra famosa frase, “cada escolha é uma renúncia”.</p>
<p>Tenho testemunhado histórias, aqui no Oriente Médio, de superação nesse sentido. São quase as mesmas vividas no Brasil ou qualquer outro lado do mundo. Chama atenção, porém, o empenho das mulheres árabes. Sim, pois a complexidade cultural desta região faz que muitas dessas determinadas mulheres sejam, além de desbravadoras, heroínas.</p>
<div id="attachment_36854-2" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36854-2" class="size-full wp-image-36854" title="CasuJordania" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CasuJordania.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="385" /><p id="caption-attachment-36854-2" class="wp-caption-text">As jordanianas do time The Source resolveram &quot;importar&quot; por uns dias professoras de Abu Dhabi, como Cassuza Fornari. Fotos: George Markarian.</p></div>
<p>Temos, hoje, no Líbano, uma professora grávida, a jordaniana Ghalia Smith. Ghalia, inclusive, firmou recentemente convênio com a Embaixada do Brasil para ministrar Jiu-Jitsu no Cento Cultural Brasileiro em Beirute.</p>
<p>Em Abu Dhabi, a primeira atividade diária dentro de uma escola militar feminina é uma aula de Jiu-Jitsu. Detalhe: o dia dessas alunas militares começa às 4 da manhã.</p>
<p>E, no último fim de semana, a professora Cassuza Fornari, que mora em Abu Dhabi, foi convidada por oito faixas-brancas jordanianas para ministrar um seminário direcionado para mulheres da capital Amam. Elas organizaram e custearam o seminário diretamente, sem qualquer interferência do professor, o faixa-preta Samy Al Jamal. O professor, obviamente, cedeu o tatame e apoiou a ideia.</p>
<p>Fatos assim nos fazem acreditar que, em breve, veremos cada vez mais faixas-pretas mulheres por aqui. Ao que tudo indica, são mulheres que desconhecem a desistência.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/faixa-preta-e-um-faixa-branca-que-nunca-desistiu/">Faixa-preta é um faixa-branca que nunca desistiu</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
