<p>While hundred-year-old sport soccer&#8217;s big debate these days is ethics, rules and regulations, why should Jiu-Jitsu&#8217;s be any different? On the mat, controversy likes sporting a gi when the subject comes to closing out final; that is, a gentlemen&#8217;s agreement between two teammates who reach the final together, where the only move the crowd gets to see is an embrace. If you&#8217;re a GRACIEMAG.com reader, you&#8217;ve seen this subject come up before. But could a creative solution bring the issue to resolution? One Jiu-Jitsu professor thinks so.</p>
<p>Claudio Arrais, a black belt and the organizer of the South American Jiu-Jitsu Championship, went through a peculiar situation late last year. He explains: “There was a championship in Santa Catarina where four athletes from the same team closed out the semifinals. The worst part is that the city mayor was there to award the prize to the absolute champion. So I had to go to great lengths to get him to understand that in Jiu-Jitsu this is acceptable. Politely but in jest, he said the most significant division of a championship could not go without a final, and he offered to do the final against any one of the four,” Arrais recollects.</p>
<h3>BAD FOR JIU-JITSU FANS, AWFUL FOR TV</h3>
<p>Having experienced the issue in the flesh, and aware that it&#8217;s unpleasant to face a friend or brother, Claudio drummed up a simple solution for the dilemma.</p>
<p>“I understand that it&#8217;s a really delicate situation, and it&#8217;s one that we should always respect. On the other hand, also out of respect, we can&#8217;t leave the championship, fans and TV broadcasters without the matches that determine the titles. This practice of closing out brackets arose in Jiu-Jitsu at a time when there was no such thing as the internet, and information regarding techniques was kept under military-like secrecy, which isn&#8217;t the case these days, with all the seminars, DVDs, video classes and YouTube,” Claudinho says in providing background.</p>
<p>“I suggest the following: The champion and runner-up who closed out the brackets receive their medals normally; after all, they made it there fair and square through lots of dedication, training and fair play. However, their points shouldn&#8217;t count for the overall team score. This measure would protect the fans and the promoters of the championship, and it would also get the athletes to think less about themselves and more about their team,” says the Rilion Gracie black belt.</p>
<p>(Watch JT and his teammate Jimmy Harbison going at it for real in the absolute final at the 2012 Houston Open:)</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="JT Torres (Lloyd Irvin) vs. Jimmy Harbison (LLoyd Irvin) - 2012 IBJJF Houston International Open" width="650" height="366" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j6clzrE3PL0?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>To Arrais, such a penalty could start changing the outlook and help move Jiu-Jitsu forward, not backwards.</p>
<h3>“WITHOUT FINALS THERE NO MEDIA, NO SPONSORS”</h3>
<p>“Choosing to close out finals is extremely damaging to Jiu-Jitsu. The championship loses out on showcasing a final. The crowd loses out by not getting to watch the grand decider. The media (read TV) is stuck questioning whether it&#8217;s worth covering a championship that might not result in a final match. No media, no big sponsors. So it&#8217;s unfair that the team that allows such a thing to happen should go without being penalized for its stance, having produced the athletes. I agree that everyone should have the right to decide what&#8217;s best for their team, so long as it&#8217;s not to the detriment of Jiu-Jitsu as a whole,” asserts Claudinho, who has his own academy, in the city of Florianópolis.</p>
<p>The teacher isn&#8217;t naïve to the point of thinking that that will settle everything. But he does take kindly to such a change in mentality, even if it results in teammates rolling symbolically in the finals.</p>
<p>“Sure, new ways of avoiding teammates doing finals will crop up. Some will feign injury, others will refuse to compete, still others will just rig the match, do an exhibition. Should there be suspicions that the athlete is faking an injury, the staff doctor giving a verdict could be a solution, but even an exhibition match would be better than the ref simply raising the arm of the winner, to everyone&#8217;s frustration. In a nutshell, it would all be for the development of Jiu-Jitsu, a sport that educates us and fills us with pride for being a part of it, and for the athletes, teachers, promoters and team owners,” Claudio says in conclusion.</p>
<p>What do you say, gentle reader: can this be the way forward? Join the debate floor by commenting below.</p>

<p>Se o futebol, esporte centenário, debate até hoje sua ética, regras e regulamentos, por que no Jiu-Jitsu seria diferente? Em cima do tatame, a polêmica gosta de vestir o kimono quando o assunto é o fechamento das chaves nas finais, ou seja, o acordo de cavalheiros entre dois colegas de equipe que chegam juntos à final – e o único golpe de Jiu-Jitsu que a torcida vê é um abraço. Se você é leitor do GRACIEMAG.com, já viu esse tópico aqui outras vezes. Mas, será que uma solução criativa pode amenizar o problema? Um professor acha que sim.</p>
<p>Claudinho Arrais, faixa-preta e organizador do Campeonato Sul-Americano de Jiu-Jitsu, viveu uma situação curiosa no fim do ano passado. Ele conta: &#8220;Houve um campeonato em Santa Catarina no qual quatro atletas da mesma equipe fecharam já nas semifinais. O pior é que o prefeito da cidade estava presente, para realizar a entrega do prêmio ao campeão absoluto. Tive então de me desdobrar para tentar fazê-lo entender que no Jiu-Jitsu isso era passível de ocorrer. De forma educada, mas brincando, ele disse que a categoria principal de um campeonato não podia ficar sem final, e se ofereceu para fazer, ele, uma final contra qualquer um dos quatro&#8221;, relembra Arrais.</p>
<h3>Ruim para o fã de Jiu-Jitsu, péssimo para a TV</h3>
<p>Após sofrer o problema na pele, e ciente de que é um desconforto enfrentar um amigo ou irmão, Claudinho maquinou uma solução simples para sanar o problema.</p>
<p>&#8220;Entendo que lutar com companheiros de treinos seja uma situação muito delicada, e isso deve ser respeitado sempre. Por outro lado, também por respeito, não podemos deixar o campeonato, os fãs e as TVs sem as lutas que decidem os títulos. Tal prática de fechar a chave foi consagrada no Jiu-Jitsu numa época em que não existia a internet, e as informações técnicas eram guardadas num sigilo quase militar, o que não acontece hoje com tantos seminários, DVDs, vídeo aulas e o próprio YouTube&#8221;, remonta Claudinho.</p>
<p>&#8220;Minha sugestão é que o campeão e o vice que fecharem a chave recebam as medalhas normalmente, afinal chegaram lá com justiça, graças a muita dedicação, muitos treinos e lutas limpas. No entanto, os pontos de ambos não seriam computados na disputa de equipes. A medida protegeria o campeonato e os fãs, e faria o atleta pensar menos na vaidade e mais no time&#8221;, diz o faixa-preta de Rilion Gracie.</p>

<p>Para Claudinho, tal punição pode começar a mudar o quadro e ajudar a empurrar o Jiu-Jitsu para frente, não para trás.</p>
<h3>&#8220;Sem finais, sem mídia, sem patrocínios&#8221;</h3>
<p>&#8220;A opção pelo fechamento fere demais o Jiu-Jitsu. O campeonato perde o seu propósito sem a luta final. O público perde ao não assistir à grande decisão. A grande mídia não especializada (leia-se TV) põe em duvida se vale a pena noticiar um campeonato que pode não ter luta final. Sem mídia, sem grandes patrocínios. Logo, é injusto que a equipe que permita que isso aconteça não sofra nenhuma pena por sua atitude, ela que é responsável por formar o atleta. Concordo que todos devem ter o direito de decidir o que é o melhor para sua equipe, desde que não prejudique o crescimento do todo, no caso, o Jiu-Jitsu&#8221;, reforça Claudinho, que também tem sua academia em Florianópolis.</p>
<p>O professor não é ingênuo a ponto de achar que isso solucionaria tudo. Mas vê com bons olhos &#8220;forçar&#8221; essa mudança de mentalidade, mesmo que isso leve a treinos de luxo entre amigos nas finais.</p>
<p>&#8220;Claro, surgirão outras formas de evitar essas lutas finais por atletas da mesma equipe. Alguns vão simular lesões, outros vão se recusar a lutar, outros vão fazer apenas uma luta marmelada, de exibição. No caso de suspeita de simulação de lesão, uma avaliação médica com atestado do doutor responsável pela competição talvez fosse uma solução, mas mesmo uma luta de exibição seria melhor que o juiz simplesmente erguer o braço de um lutador, para frustração geral. Enfim, tudo pelo desenvolvimento do Jiu-Jitsu, esporte que educa e nos dá tanto orgulho de fazer parte, como atleta, professor, organizador e dono de equipe&#8221;, conclui Claudinho.</p>
