O ano era 2008. O evento, o Capital Challenge na mágica Jordânia, organizado pelo professor Zaid Mirza, que à época ensinava Jiu-Jitsu para o exército local, e inclusive aos filhos do rei.

Diversos astros toparam participar, caso de Fabricio Werdum, Braulio Estima, Leonardo Leite e Caio Terra. Mas, o dono do espetáculo em Amam foi mesmo Rubens Charles “Cobrinha” Maciel, que se deparou com um certo novato que se mostrava cada vez mais confiante para tentar destroná-lo. A equipe GRACIEMAG, claro, estava lá.

Confira o primeiro duelo oficial entre os faixas-pretas Rubens Charles e Rafa Mendes, e comente: qual para você seria a maior lição desta luta?

Rubens Cobrinha prepares to pass the baton to his son Kennedy

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 23:38:42 +0000

Kennedy Maciel and his dad, Rubens Cobrinha.

While he watches one of his athletes warm up, Rubens Charles “Cobrinha” hears the question asked by a Graciemag reporter: Is he going to fulfill the old dream of fighting in a BJJ Worlds with his son, Kennedy Maciel? Maybe close out the podium with the kid, who’s been riding some momentum?

“Yes, it’s about time to pass the baton, right?” Cobrinha says with a smile. “But the reality is that training for an IBJJF Worlds at my age isn’t getting any easier. Last year, to win the Grand Slam, I had to stop for a whole year and dedicate the totality of my time to physical preparation and training, and I left my gym and students to my instructors. It would be very complicated to stop everything again in 2019, especially the two of us with the same focus.”

Rubens Charles’s idea, however, is to retire in style, next to the son who has already begun scaling the cliff that is the career of a black-belt. Last December 16th, Kennedy was one of the standouts of the 2018 No-Gi Worlds as he swept the featherweight division in California.

“My idea now is for us to pick an IBJJF Open near home, with our supporters present, so we can fight together in the same category. It would be quite a family blowout, especially if we win,” says Cobrinha, an unapologetically proud dad. “Kennedy is very determined, he has a physical preparedness that has been getting more and more developed, and can really have a beautiful journey in BJJ. It will depend on him alone, and we’re here for whatever he may need.”

Kennedy Maciel will have in the European Championship, this weekend in Portugal, his biggest challenge to date in the gi. It will be his debut on that stage as a black-belt, in a light feather division filled with talent like João Miyao, Pablo Mantovani, Cleber Clandestino and Hiago George.

Rubens Cobrinha prepara passagem de bastão ao filhão Kennedy no Jiu-Jitsu

Enquanto observa um de seus atletas aquecendo, Rubens Charles “Cobrinha” não foge da resenha de vestiário, e dá uma piscadela ao ouvir a pergunta do repórter da GRACIEMAG: e afinal, vai realizar o antigo sonho de lutar um Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu com o filhão, Kennedy Maciel? Quem sabe fechar um pódio com o garoto, que vem embalado?

“É, já está na hora dessa passagem de bastão, né?”, sorri Cobrinha. “Mas a realidade é que o treino para um Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu da IBJJF na minha idade não está ficando mais fácil. No ano passado, para vencer o Grand Slam, eu tive de parar por um ano inteiro e dedicar a totalidade do meu tempo para a preparação física e o treinamento, e deixei a academia e os alunos com meus instrutores. Seria muito complicado parar tudo novamente em 2019, ainda mais nós dois juntos no mesmo foco”.

A ideia de Rubens Charles, contudo, é fazer uma despedida em grande estilo, ao lado do filhão que já começou a galgar a carreira na faixa-preta. No último dia 16 de dezembro, por sinal, Kennedy foi um dos destaques do Mundial Sem Kimono 2018, ao enfileirar geral no peso-pena, no evento na Califórnia.

“Minha ideia agora é escolhermos um torneio Open da IBJJF perto de casa, com nossa torcida, para que possamos lutar juntos na mesma categoria. Seria uma festa e tanto em família, ainda mais se vencermos”, diz Cobra, que elogia muito o apetite e a vontade de vencer do filho. “Kennedy é muito determinado, está com um preparo físico cada vez mais desenvolvido e realmente pode trilhar um caminho bonito no Jiu-Jitsu. Vai depender dele apenas, e estamos aqui para tudo o que ele precisar”.

Kennedy Maciel terá no Europeu de Jiu-Jitsu, neste fim de semana em Portugal, seu maior desafio no esporte com kimono até hoje. Será sua estreia no evento lusitano como faixa-preta, numa divisão peso-pluma que conta com cobras criadas da classe de João Miyao, Pablo Mantovani, Cleber Clandestino e Hiago George.

2018 Worlds: Kennedy, Fechter, Pessanha, Thalison and more from day 2

Sat, 02 Jun 2018 20:03:36 +0000

Gabi Pessanha is the only female athlete to win the double Grand Slam this season. IBJJF

Day two of the IBJJF World Championship went down this Friday in Long Beach, with more colored-belt contests.

Purple- and brown-belts shared the mats of the Walter Pyramid, and another batch of world champions was crowned. The men’s brown belt section only had its rooster, feather and light feather divisions play out yesterday, with Kennedy Maciel (Alliance) standing out. The son of Rubens “Cobrinha” Charles, Kennedy won gold in his new rank by making his way through the light featherweight field and beating Malachi Edmond (Lloyd Irvin) in the final.

The women’s brown belt section, however, played out entirely on Friday, with no one shining more brightly than Gabriela Fechter. The Checkmatter managed to bag absolute gold after taking bronze at featherweight. In the open final, Gabi beat Larissa Carvalho (Gracie Reunion), the light featherweight champion.

Purple

Besides the success of double gold winner Roberto Jimenez (Alliance), we had Gabrieli Pessanha wrapping up a phenomenal season. The Infight member won double gold, just like she did in the rest of the Grand Slam this season — so that’s double gold at the Worlds, Euros, Pan and Brazilian Nationals.

Thalison Soares of PSLPB Cícero Costha also claimed a Grand Slam. He closed out his division with Francisco Andrade in his second year as a purple-belt and got promoted on the spot.

Mundial 2018: Kennedy, Fechter, Pessanha, Thalison e mais destaques do 2° dia

Ainda no ritmo das faixas coloridas, o segundo dia do Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu da IBJJF, realizado nesta sexta-feira, dia 1° de junho, na Califa, trouxe ao pódio nomes já conhecidos dos torneios pelo mundo e novas face que ainda vão dar muito o que falar.

Faixas-marrons e roxas dividiram os tatames da Pirâmide de Long Beach, e mais uma leva de campeões mundiais foi conhecida nos EUA. Limitado às divisões de peso-galo, pluma e pena, a faixa-marrom no masculino teve como destaque Kennedy Maciel (Alliance). Filho do inoxidável Rubens “Cobrinha” Charles, Kennedy conquistou mais um ouro mundial, desta vez na marrom, ao superar o tortuoso caminho no peso-pluma, e bater Malachi Edmond (Lloyd Irvin) na finalíssima.

No feminino marrom, porém, plantel completo. Todas as divisões de peso entraram em ação, e o nome de destaque foi o de Gabriela Fechter. A fera da Checkmat conseguiu morder o ouro no absoluto, após ficar com o bronze na divisão de peso-pena. Na final do aberto, Gabi encarou e venceu Larissa Carvalho (Gracie Reunion), que havia vencido mais cedo no peso-pluma.

Já na faixa-roxa, além do sucesso de Roberto Jimenez (Alliance), campeão peso e absoluto no masculino, outro destaque ficou para Gabrieli Pessanha. A pérola da Infight na Cidade de Deus não só faturou peso e absoluto no Mundial, como repetiu o feito em todo o grand slam da IBJJF (Europeu, Pan e Brasileiro).

Outro atleta que conseguiu a façanha de completar o grand slam na faixa-roxa foi o Thalison Soares. O craque da PSLPB Cícero Costha conseguiu o topo do pódio mais uma vez, ao fechar com o companheiro de equipe Francisco Andrade em seu segundo ano na roxa, e foi devidamente graduado à faixa-marrom, com uma nova etapa na sua carreira do Jiu-Jitsu pela frente.

A fera falou com nossa reportagem e detalhou suas expectativas para este novo desafio. Confira a entrevista no vídeo abaixo e os resultados parciais do torneio, após seu segundo dia de lutas. Fique ligado para saber mais. Oss!

Cobrinha e os quatro pilares para um Jiu-Jitsu campeão

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 21:02:36 +0000

Sob o signo da serpente

Investigamos, durante um seminário revelador no Rio de Janeiro, como o atual bicampeão do ADCC Rubens Cobrinha construiu seu sucesso apoiado em quatro pilares básicos e altamente eficientes: positividade, vontade de vencer, pressão e nenhuma pressa até o bote final.

A voz do povo

Como os campeões que brilharam no ADCC 2015, em São Paulo, precisaram escutar (ou ignorar) as muitas vozes que vinham da torcida, do córner e, por vezes, de dentro de suas próprias cabeças.

Três faces de um campeão

Único lutador na História a conquistar a “tríplice coroa” das artes-marciais, Fabricio Werdum conta passagens reveladoras de sua trajetória e nos ajuda a entender como conseguiu alcançar tantas façanhas na carreira.

As favoritas de Werdum

Com a ajuda do faixa-preta Renato Babalu, Werdum ensina as cinco técnicas que mais gosta de aplicar quando está competindo, seja no Jiu-Jitsu, no submission ou no MMA.

Cuidado com os baixinhos

O mesnosprezo à divisão dos pesos-moscas impede o devido reconhecimento ao campeão mais regular do UFC na atualidade, o pequeno gigante Demetrious Johnson.

Não subestime as flexões de braço

Especialista em preparação física, Martin Rooney detalha um exercício clássico que vai proporcionar novos e sofisticados benefícios ao seu corpo.

E ainda:

O adeus a um templo sagrado do Jiu-Jitsu
Os destaques do Campeonato Brasileiro por equipes da CBJJ
Minotauro, Mayweather, Nick Diaz e a aposentadoria
A origem da expressão “Oss”, muito usada nas academias
Do fundo do baú: o ataque surpresa de Rodrigo Comprido em Roberto Roleta.

On Cobrinha’s birthday, watch him win the Worlds, ADCC, teach how to take the back

Wed, 24 Dec 2014 09:23:53 +0000

Rubens Charles Maciel is celebrating his 35th birthday this Wednesday, December 24.

The four-time featherweight world champion and IBJJF Hall of Famer who is also a ADCC champion, is indeed one of the greatest icons in Jiu-Jitsu history.

In order to celebrate the date, we have selected three videos of Cobrinha doing the two things he’s better known for: competing and teaching.

First, here he is teaching two ways to take the back from the spider guard.

Then, watch him conquer his fourth world title in 2009, against Bruno Frazzato.

At last, here’s Cobrinha at the 2013 ADCC winning the -66kg division against Rafael Mendes.
