<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ifabiotrindade/">Fabio Trindade</a> faz um trabalho consistente como professor de Jiu-Jitsu na Gracie Barra Tarzana, liderada pelos campeões Romulo Barral e Edwin Najmi e sediada em Los Angeles, Califórnia. Com quatro graus na faixa-preta, Fabio ministra aulas para crianças e adultos e passa sua experiência como lutador de Jiu-Jitsu e MMA para ensinar as principais lições do esporte.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fabio teve o seu primeiro contato com o Jiu-Jitsu em 1994, quando ainda morava em Manaus. Ele começou a treinar para combater o bullying que sofria na escola e se apaixonou pela arte marcial. “Hoje, tenho uma vida confortável como professor e trabalho com o que amo. Tenho a possibilidade de ajudar a minha mãe e os meus outros familiares e isso não tem preço. Paguei um preço alto no decorrer da caminhada, mas valeu a pena”, contou Fabio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Em bate-papo com a equipe do GRACIEMAG.com, Fabio Trindade relembrou seu começo no Jiu-Jitsu e listou os maiores aprendizados que adquiriu com as competições.</span></p>
<p><strong><em>GRACIEMAG:</em> Como começou a sua história no Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">FABIO TRINDADE: </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tive a minha primeira experiência com o Jiu-Jitsu em 1994, em Manaus. Eu estava acima do peso e sofria bullying na escola, meu apelidos eram “Fabola” e “Bolinha de Sabão”. Aquilo me deixava para baixo e deprimido. Um amigo meu, o Alex Siqueira, que me defendia dos demais, já treinava Jiu-Jitsu e era faixa-amarela na época. Ele foi a primeira pessoa que me incentivou a treinar. Fiz a minha primeira aula na Nova União e treinei lá por três meses. Porém, deixei o Jiu-Jitsu momentaneamente para me dedicar ao meu sonho de infância, que era ser jogador de futebol. Retornei ao Jiu-Jitsu em 1997, passei a treinar na Associação Monteiro porque alguns amigos faziam parte da equipe e nunca mais parei.</span></p>
<p><strong>Quais foram as maiores lições que as competições te ensinaram?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Costumo dizer aos meus alunos que você passa a se conhecer de verdade com as competições. Os campeonatos mostram o real sabor da vitória. O mais importante é conseguir se manter calmo e conseguir desenvolver seu Jiu-Jitsu diante daquele ambiente caótico. Eu ficava nervoso demais nos primeiros anos de competidor. Isso era um problema para mim e foi difícil de controlar. Eu tinha a opção de desistir de competir, no entanto, meus professores e meus amigos me ajudaram a lidar com a pressão e o nervosismo nos campeonatos. Conforme o tempo passou, aprendi a ficar calmo perante às situações adversas. Assim como a vida, a competição te ensina os altos e baixos e essas experiências foram cruciais para eu amadurecer.</span></p>
<p><strong>Quais foram seus aprendizados no MMA?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eu tinha vontade de lutar MMA desde que comecei no Jiu-Jitsu. O meu objetivo não era entrar no UFC, mas me testar e representar o Jiu-Jitsu. A preparação, a perda de peso e todos os demais desafios me mostraram o quanto eu era corajoso e forte mental e fisicamente para alcançar os objetivos. Consegui aplicar no MMA diversas lições que aprendi no Jiu-Jitsu, como lidar com situações adversas e acreditar na vitória até o fim. O MMA, assim como as competições de Jiu-Jitsu, foram fundamentais para o meu crescimento pessoal e profissional. Tenho gratidão eterna aos meus professores por terem confiado em mim e acreditado no meu potencial.</span></p>

<p><strong>Que benefícios o seu trabalho proporciona à comunidade americana?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sou professor de Jiu-Jitsu para crianças e adultos na Gracie Barra Tarzana, na Califórnia. Além de introduzir os conceitos e as posições do Jiu-Jitsu, ensino técnicas de defesa pessoal a eles, porque é fundamental saber se defender, especialmente nos dias atuais, com o aumento da violência nas ruas. Também iniciei o processo de formação da equipe infantil de competição. Quanto aos adultos, tenho diversos alunos policiais e bombeiros e eles sempre ressaltam a importância do Jiu-Jitsu em situações reais. Também sou professor de um faixa-marrom com autismo. Hoje em dia, ele é meu ajudante na aula das crianças e ele é a primeira pessoa a abrir as portas aos novos alunos, especialmente para aqueles que têm alguma deficiência. A minha experiência e a minha forma de ensinar agregam muito valor à comunidade americana.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><strong>Quando você percebeu que viveria em prol do Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eu já pretendia viver do Jiu-Jitsu desde 1998, quando estava na faixa-azul e morava em Manaus. Ainda é difícil viver exclusivamente do Jiu-Jitsu no Brasil. Na época, me dediquei aos estudos e consegui um bom emprego com administração e logística. Mas não era isso o que queria para a minha vida. Eu sonhava em viver do Jiu-Jitsu, foi aí que me mudei para os Estados Unidos e comecei a lutar MMA. Aqui eu percebi o quanto a minha profissão é valorizada e respeitada. Hoje, tenho uma vida confortável como professor e trabalho com o que amo. Tenho a possibilidade de ajudar a minha mãe e os meus outros familiares e isso não tem preço. Paguei um preço alto no decorrer da caminhada, mas valeu a pena.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><strong>O que te deixa realizado como professor?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A minha principal missão é ensinar o Jiu-Jitsu àquele aluno que é bem tímido, não tem lastro esportivo e de quem a maioria das pessoas duvidaria de seu potencial. Tenho convívio diário com alunos de diversas idades, de crianças a idosos. Sou professor na equipe do Romulo Barral e lá tenho um aluno faixa-preta de 74 anos. Ele começou a treinar aos 65 anos e está toda semana nos treinos. É prazeroso ver o desenvolvimento dos meus alunos. Há uma lição que sempre digo a eles: é bom ser grande, mas é melhor ainda ser uma pessoa boa, ajudar o próximo e ser respeitoso.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ifabiotrindade/">Fabio Trindade</a> does consistent work as a Jiu-Jitsu professor at Gracie Barra Tarzana, led by champions Romulo Barral and Edwin Najmi and based in Los Angeles, California. A four-degree black belt, Fabio teaches classes to children and adults and draws on his experience as a BJJ and MMA fighter to teach the sport&#8217;s key lessons.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fabio had his first contact with Jiu-Jitsu in 1994, when he was still living in Manaus. He started training to combat the bullying he suffered at school and fell in love with the martial art. &#8220;Today, I have a comfortable life as a teacher and I work with what I love. I have the possibility to help my mother and other family members and that is priceless. I paid a high price along the way, but it was worth it,&#8221; said Fabio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a chat with the GRACIEMAG.com team, Fabio Trindade recalled his beginnings in Jiu-Jitsu and listed the greatest lessons he learned from the competitions.</span></p>
<p><strong><em>GRACIEMAG:</em> How did your history in Jiu-Jitsu begin?</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">FABIO TRINDADE:</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> I had my first experience with Jiu-Jitsu in 1994, in Manaus. I was overweight and suffered bullying at school, my nicknames were &#8220;Fabola&#8221; and &#8220;Bolinha de Sabão&#8221;. That made me down and depressed. A friend of mine, Aleks Siqueira, who defended me from the others, already trained Jiu-Jitsu and was a yellow belt at the time. He was the first person who encouraged me to train. I took my first class at Nova União and trained there for three months. However, I left Jiu-Jitsu momentarily to dedicate myself to my childhood dream, which was to be a soccer player. I returned to Jiu-Jitsu in 1997, started training at Associação Monteiro because some friends were part of the team and never stopped.</span></p>
<p><strong>What are the greatest lessons competitions have taught you?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I often tell my students that you really get to know yourself through competitions. Championships show the real taste of victory. The most important thing is to be able to stay calm and develop your Jiu-Jitsu in that chaotic environment. I was too nervous in the first years of competing. That was a problem for me and it was hard to control. I had the option to give up competing, however, my teachers and my friends helped me deal with the pressure and nervousness at championships. As time passed, I learned to stay calm in the face of adverse situations. Just like life, competition teaches you the ups and downs and these experiences were crucial for me to mature.</span></p>

<p><strong>What were your learnings in MMA?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had wanted to fight MMA since I started in Jiu-Jitsu. My goal was not to enter the UFC, but to test myself and represent BJJ. The preparation, the weight cut and all the other challenges showed me how brave and strong I was mentally and physically to achieve the goals. I was able to apply in MMA several lessons I learned in BJJ, such as dealing with adverse situations and believing in victory until the end. MMA, as well as Jiu-Jitsu competitions, were fundamental to my personal and professional growth. I have eternal gratitude to my teachers for trusting me and believing in my potential.</span></p>
<p><strong>What benefits does your work provide to the American community?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am a Jiu-Jitsu teacher for children and adults at Gracie Barra Tarzana in California. In addition to introducing the concepts and positions of BJJ, I teach them self-defense techniques, because it is essential to know how to defend yourself, especially in this day and age with the increase in street violence. I have also started the process of forming the children&#8217;s competition team. As for adults, I have several police and firefighter students and they always emphasize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu in real situations. I am also a teacher of a brown belt with autism. Nowadays, he is my helper in the children&#8217;s class and he is the first person to open the doors to new students, especially for those who have a disability. My experience and my way of teaching add a lot of value to the American community.</span></p>
<p><strong>When did you realize that you would live for Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had already intended to make a living from BJJ since 1998, when I was a blue belt and lived in Manaus. It is still difficult to live exclusively from BJJ in Brazil. At the time, I dedicated myself to my studies and got a good job with administration and logistics. But that was not what I wanted for my life. I dreamed of making a living from BJJ, that&#8217;s when I moved to the United States and started fighting MMA. Here I realized how much my profession is valued and respected. Today, I have a comfortable life as a teacher and I work with what I love. I have the possibility to help my mother and my other family members and that is priceless. I paid a high price along the way, but it was worth it.</span></p>
<p><strong>What makes you fulfilled as a professor?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My main mission is to teach Jiu-Jitsu to that student who is very shy, has no sports ballast and who most people would doubt his potential. I have daily contact with students of different ages, from children to the elderly. I am a professor in Romulo Barral&#8217;s team and there I have a 74-year-old black belt student. He started training at the age of 65 and is there every week. It&#8217;s a pleasure to see the development of my students. There is a lesson I always tell them: it&#8217;s good to be great, but it&#8217;s even better to be a good person, help your neighbor and be respectful.</span></p>
