										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_35485" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Penhas.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-35485" class="size-full wp-image-35485" title="Penhas" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Penhas.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="579" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-35485" class="wp-caption-text">Penha with young Carlos (black gi) and Duda</p></div>
<p>While the GRACIEMAG team was keenly capturing every second of the epic matches that unfolded at the World Pro – the result of which will soon be in our beloved readers&#8217; hands – I allowed myself a moment of introspection and took to evaluating another event that was, in my humble opinion, perhaps even more significant: The Abu Dhabi Kids Cup.</p>
<p>Nearly a month after watching the kids in action, I realized that in a decade we will have highly-competitive international tournaments – still predominantly won by Brazilians, sure, but that&#8217;s by no means a given. As with soccer, foreigners learn the game. Truth is, the kids are already learning, and there are already some young standouts brimming with promise for the adult category.</p>
<p>The greatest barometer for gauging my statement&#8217;s validity was hearing teachers here and even Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed himself ask the following question time and again: “Who is this kid?”</p>
<p>Kids they were, sure, but they put on tremendous displays of technique. Some examples:</p>
<p>Alaa Al Kayed and Aslan Nakhwa are Jordanians, eleven years old, and the former only didn&#8217;t get the finish in his first fight – then he warmed up. His build, strength, and agility in catching his opponents&#8217; arms are reminiscent of Ricardo Libório, and hence his nickname stuck: “Liborinho” (“Little Liborio” in Portuguese).</p>
<p>The latter finished all his matches in the same manner: by snagging the armbar after pulling guard. Yes, Jordan has an excellent youth team – thirteen athletes showed up, eleven took home medals.</p>
<div id="attachment_35487" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Jordania2.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-35487" class="size-full wp-image-35487" title="Jordania2" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Jordania2.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="435" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-35487" class="wp-caption-text">Jordan&#39;s pint-sized army won eleven medals.</p></div>
<p>Another major talent is Eduardo Penha, a half American half Brazilian. At fourteen years of age, Jiu-Jitsu is his birthright. His master is his father, Sérgio Penha, a stalwart competitor from the 1980s and teacher to a number of MMA fighters back in the United States.</p>
<p>“Dudu” Penha&#8217;s colleague Carlos Lozoya, 14, is another bulldozer. The little American walked right through his opponents. Emirates Team&#8217;s teachers witnessed the two sparring. According to Alex Negão, “They train like adults&#8230;”</p>
<p>Mohamad Zakaria – a 12-year-old Palestinian living in Abu Dhabi – is considered by many to be one of the greatest phenomenons to come out of the school Jiu-Jitsu program. He won by tapout in every one of the World Pro Kids matches, and he spends all his free time checking out positions on the internet. A fusion of zeal and talent.</p>
<p>Another ace from the Emirates is Ibrahim Hassan al Nuaimi, 12. He is from Al Ain, a town that is proving to be a breeding ground for young talent. Ibrahim won all four of his matches by tapout without so much as an advantage point scored against him. Calm and collect with a knack for getting back mount, he&#8217;s another one sure to garner applause in the near future. The really near future.</p>

<p>Enquanto a reportagem de GRACIEMAG não perdia um instante dos grandes combates do World Pro, cuja reportagem especial chega em breve para os leitores, eu me permiti um momento de introspecção, e tratei de avaliar o evento que, na minha humilde visão, foi talvez mais significativo. A Copa infantil em Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p>Percebo, quase um mês depois de ver a molecada em ação, que teremos em uma década torneios internacionais altamente competitivos, ainda com hegemonia brasileira sim, mas isso não será mais a regra. Como no futebol, os estrangeiros vão aprender. Na verdade, a molecada já está aprendendo, e já despontam as promessas para a categoria adulta.</p>
<p>O termômetro maior dessa minha constatação foi ver, repetidas vezes, os professores daqui e até o Xeque Tahnoon bin Zayed fazer a seguinte pergunta: “Quem é esse garoto?”.</p>
<p>Sim, eram garotos, mas dando um show de técnica. Alguns exemplos:</p>
<p>Alaa Al Kayed e Aslan Nakhwa são jordanianos, têm 11 anos, e o primeiro só não finalizou sua primeira luta, depois esquentou. Seu porte físico, força e agilidade para pegar o braço dos adversários fez alguém lembrar de Ricardo Libório, e por isso o apelido pegou: &#8220;Liborinho&#8221;.</p>
<p>O segundo finalizou todas no mesmo estilo, puxando para a guarda e pegando o braço. Sim, a Jordânia tem um excelente time infantil – compareceu com 13 atletas e levou 11 medalhas.</p>
<div id="attachment_35487-2" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Jordania2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-35487-2" class="size-full wp-image-35487" title="Jordania2" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Jordania2.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="435" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-35487-2" class="wp-caption-text">O exército miúdo da Jordânia faturou 11 medalhas.</p></div>
<p>Outro talento é Eduardo Penha, meio brasileiro, meio americano. Aos 14 anos, é filho de peixe, ou melhor de tubarão. Seu pai é seu mestre, Sérgio Penha, clássico competidor dos anos 1980 e professor de muitas feras no MMA na América.</p>
<p>Colega de Duda Penha, Carlos Lozoya, 15 anos, foi outro trator. O pequeno americano não tomou conhecimento dos adversários. Professores da Emirates Team presenciaram um treino dos dois. Segundo Alex Negão, “treino de gente grande&#8230;”</p>
<p>Mohamad Zakaria, palestino residente em Abu Dhabi, 12 anos, é considerado por muitos um dos maiores fenômenos do programa de Jiu-Jitsu nas escolas. Finalizou todas as suas lutas no World Pro Kids, e vive assistindo a posições na internet. Interesse unido ao talento.</p>
<p>Dos Emirados também vem Ibrahim Hassan al Nuaimi, 12 anos, residente na cidade de Al Ain, cidade que vem se mostrando um celeiro. Ele finalizou suas quatro lutas sem tomar nenhuma vantagem. Tranquilo e pegador de costas, é mais um que todos vão aplaudir no futuro próximo. Bem próximo.</p>
