<p>One of the leaders of Brazil 021, André Terencio, or better known in the Jiu-Jitsu world as André Negão, is celebrating the solid performance from his students at the Houston International Open. His team is also confirmed at the next of the so-called Open events, which will take place this weekend in Chicago.</p>
<p>“Whenever we can, we take our students to Chicago for the events the IBJJF puts on. On February 12 and 13 we went to Houston with five athletes from Chicago and we brought back five medals (three bronze, one silver and one gold)! Some partners of ours, from Brazil 021 Houston (Professor Marcos Cerqueira), also placed. It was a really high-level event,” remarks the black belt.</p>
<p>“This weekend, we&#8217;re taking nineteen athletes and we hope to repeat the achievement from Houston, with everyone making it onto the podium. We had an eight-week camp and we hope to put on a good show. I feel it&#8217;s really important that Chicago be a part of the IBJJF calendar; that way it will be a reference for the style in the USA, as is the case with California and Texas,” he remarks.</p>
<p>“What I always hear from the folks is, &#8216;Teach, you were right, once you compete at an IBJJF event, you never see the other competitions the same, since everything works. I can take my kids to watch me compete, since I know I&#8217;ll be called up on time. Besides that, they&#8217;re totally family-oriented events,&#8217;” he says in closing.</p>

<p>The standout at the IBJJF&#8217;s Houston Open on the 13th, Alexandro Ceconi struck gold in the absolute.</p>
<p>“It was the first competition of the year for me and, thank God, all went well. I could see how training will have to keep getting ever more intense,” he says in analysis.</p>
<p>However, he already has other challenges in mind: the Jiu-Jitsu Pan and the World Pro. In the latter, Ceconi is the current under-92 kg champion.</p>
<p>“I really want to fight at the Pan and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m preparing to do. I feel my division is like the others: really tough. That being the case, I need to be really prepared to face everyone. As for the World Pro, I still need to try out to try and get the cost of the trip paid for. But I&#8217;m in, as I&#8217;m the current champion,” says the Romulo Reis and Rilion Gracie student.</p>
<p>In the hustle and bustle of training and competing, the black belt still finds time for MMA, a style in which he holds two wins and remains unbeaten. However:</p>
<p>“During the first half of the year I&#8217;m going to focus on Jiu-Jitsu, just as I did last year. One step at a time&#8230;”</p>
<p>Why don&#8217;t you get in on the Jiu-Jitsu Pan too?

<p>Um dos comandantes da Brazil 021, André Terencio, mais conhecido no mundo do Jiu-Jitsu como André Negão, festeja o desempenho dos seus alunos no Houston International Open. Sua equipe está confirmada também em mais uma edição dos chamados eventos Open, que acontece neste fim de semana, em Chicago.</p>
<p>“Sempre que podemos, levamos nossos alunos de Chicago para os eventos que a IBJJF promove. Nos dias 12 e 13 de fevereiro fomos até Houston com cinco atletas de Chicago e trouxemos para casa cinco medalhas (três bronzes, uma prata e um ouro)! Outros parceiros nossos, da Brazil 021 Houston (professor Marcos Cerqueira), também medalharam. Foi um evento de altíssimo nível!”, comenta o faixa-preta.</p>
<p>Agora, André prepara seus alunos para o Chicago Winter International Open.</p>
<p>“Neste final de semana, vamos com 19 atletas e esperamos repetir o feito de Houston, com todos os atletas no pódio. Fizemos um camp de oito semanas e esperamos ter uma boa apresentação. Acho muito importante Chicago fazer agora parte do calendário da IBJJF, pois assim se tornará uma referência na modalidade nos EUA, como acontece na Califórnia e Texas”, comenta.</p>
<p>Para André, o mais importante é a satisfação dos alunos.</p>
<p>“O que escuto sempre do pessoal é: ‘Professor, o senhor tinha razão. Uma vez lutando os eventos da IBJJF, não vemos as outras competições com os mesmos olhos, pois nela tudo funciona. Posso levar meus filhos para assistir minha lutas, pois sei que serei chamado na hora. Além disso, é um evento totalmente familiar&#8221;, encerra.</p>

<p>Destaque no Houston Open, evento da IBJJF que aconteceu no último dia 13, Alexandro Ceconi garantiu o ouro no absoluto.</p>
<p>“Foi a primeira competição do ano para mim e, graças a Deus, deu tudo certo. Pude ver que os treinos devem ser mantidos cada vez com mais intensidade”, analisa.</p>
<p>No entanto, outros desafios já estão em mente: o Pan de Jiu-Jitsu e o World Pro. No segundo, Ceconi é o atual campeão até 92kg.</p>
<p>“Quero muito lutar o Pan e estou me preparando para isso. Acredito que a minha categoria é como todas as outras, muito dura. Sendo assim, preciso de muito preparo para encarar todos os adversários. Quanto ao World Pro, ainda devo lutar alguma seletiva para tentar garantir os custos da viagem. Mas estou dentro, pois sou o atual campeão”, diz o aluno de Romulo Reis e Rilion Gracie.</p>
<p>Nesta correria, o faixa-preta ainda encontra tempo para o MMA, modalidade em que conta com duas vitórias e se mantém invicto. No entanto:</p>
<p>“No primeiro semestre vou me focar no Jiu-Jitsu, assim como no ano passado. Um passo de cada vez&#8230;”</p>
<p>Participe também do Pan de Jiu-Jitsu, <a href="http://www.cbjj.com.br/inscricaopan2011.htm" target="_blank">saiba mais aqui.</a></p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/apos-absoluto-em-houston-ceconi-se-prepara-para-mais-desafios/">Após absoluto em Houston, Ceconi quer mais ouro</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Bruno Bastos teve um final de semana emocionante, durante as disputas do Houston Open. Além de subir no alto do pódio mais uma vez, pode ver brilhar alunos como Daniel Veja que, apesar de ter deficiência física em um dos braços, finalizou todos os oponentes. Para coroar o desempenho de Bastos como atleta e professor, veio o primeiro troféu por equipes em um evento da IBJJF desde que o faixa-preta se radicou definitivamente nos EUA.</p>
<p>Confira as suas palavras:</p>
<p>“O final de semana que passou foi emocionante pra mim.<br />
Tudo bem que eu já tinha conquistado alguns bons resultados em eventos locais aqui como treinador, mas entendo que isso só fica completo quando conseguimos um troféu por equipes na IBJJF.”</p>
<p>“Após 16 meses de trabalho, consegui liderar a Nova União ao 2º lugar geral por equipes no Houston Open. Considero isso um feito extraordinário em tão pouco tempo. Claro que sem a ajuda dos meus associados (Octagon MMA, Team Lutter, Peak BJJ, Alvarez BJJ, Trinity MMA e Evolve BJJ) e todos os atletas que treinaram bastante, como o Daniel “Jacaré” Almeida, que puxou a fase final de preparação dos atletas quando eu estava em Portugal pra competir no Europeu e depois no Brasil para graduar meus alunos, nada disso seria possível. Não posso deixar de mencionar também o Robson Moura e o Gustavo Dantas, que é o cara em que me espelho aqui nos EUA, com seu trabalho sério, liderando toda a Nova União.”</p>
<p>“Finalmente senti que posso e estou contribuindo para ele tornar nosso objetivo concreto, que é voltar ao pódio do Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu entre as equipes.”</p>
<p>“Indo para os destaques individuais na faixa-preta, tive o Daniel Jacaré, que fechou comigo o pesadíssimo e faturou o bronze no absoluto, além do Daniel Alvarez, que ganhou o pena master e foi prata no absoluto master.”</p>
<p>“Entre as meninas, todas pegaram ouro com destaque pra Yasmin Soto no pesadíssimo azul e Danielle Alvarez, que ganhou o pena azul e ficou com o bronze no absoluto. Olho nela, pois tem apenas 16 anos.”</p>
<div id="attachment_30768" style="width: 461px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Daniel-Veja.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-30768" class="size-full wp-image-30768" title="Daniel Veja" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Daniel-Veja.jpg" alt="" width="451" height="373" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-30768" class="wp-caption-text">Daniel Veja supera qualquer deficiência com o Jiu-Jitsu.</p></div>
<p>“Nos juvenis, o Levi Mowles ganhou mais um evento da IBJJF e também tem muito futuro pela frente. Ainda na faixa-azul, Loronz Marion foi prata no médio master, mas voltou com tudo e faturou o absoluto depois de quatro guerras.”</p>
<p>“Por fim, na faixa-roxa, Johnny Cross com duas finalizações no pesado sênior 1 e o sensacional Daniel Veja, que com apenas um braço finalizou seus dois adversários no leve master e garantiu mais um ouro. Esse cara é muito sinistro e não se espantem se, em breve, ele medalhar no adulto, pois estamos trabalhando para isso.</p>
<p>Enfim, mal posso esperar para ajudar o time no Pan e depois buscar o 1º lugar no Dallas Open, em maio. Vamos fazer um grande camp aqui em Dallas para o Mundial, comigo e Rodrigo Feijão. Até lá!”</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/o-primeiro-trofeu-da-ibjjf-a-gente-nunca-esquece/">O primeiro troféu da IBJJF a gente nunca esquece</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Bruno Bastos had an emotion-filled weekend, during the Houston Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Besides making it onto the winners&#8217; stand yet again, he got to see students of his like Daniel Vejaque, who despite a handicapped arm, submitted all his opponents. To cap off Bastos&#8217;s performance as an athlete and teacher, he took his first team trophy at an IBJJF event ever since the black belt moved definitively to the USA.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what he had to say:</p>
<p>“Last weekend was an emotional one for me.</p>
<p>Sure I&#8217;d won a few titles in local events as a trainer here before, but it is only complete when it&#8217;s an IBJJF team trophy.”</p>
<p>“After sixteen months of work, I managed to lead Nova União to 2nd place overall at the Houston Open. I consider that an extraordinary feat in such short time. Of course, without the help of my associates (Octagon MMA, Team Lutter, Peak BJJ, Alvarez BJJ, Trinity MMA and Evolve BJJ) and all the athletes who trained so hard, like Daniel “Jacaré” Almeida, who led the athletes in the final phase of training while I was in Portugal to compete at the European Open and then in Brazil to promote my students, none of it would be possible. I can&#8217;t forget to mention Robson Moura and Gustavo Dantas, who is the person I model myself on here in the USA, with the serious work he does leading the whole of Nova União.”</p>
<p>“Finally I felt empowered and that I&#8217;m contributing to him fulfilling our objective, which is to make it back on the podium as a team at the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship.</p>
<p>“Now on the individual standouts at black belt, I had Daniel Jacaré, who closed out the ultraheavyweight division with me and took bronze in the absolute, not to mention Daniel Alvarez, who won the master featherweight and took silver in the absolute master.”</p>
<p>“Among the girls, all of them took gold, with Yasmin Soto standing out at blue belt ultraheavyweight and Danielle Alvarez, who won the featherweight blue and took bronze in the absolute. Keep an eye on her, she&#8217;s only sixteen.”</p>

<p>“In the juvenile division, Levi Mowles won another IBJJF event and has a good future ahead of him. Still a blue belt, Loronz Marion won silver at middleweight master, but went back in full steam to take the absolute winning four wars.”</p>
<p>“Last but not least, at purple belt, Johnny Cross won the senior 1 heavyweight with two submissions and the sensational Daniel Veja, who with only one arm submitted his two opponents in the lightweight master division and won another gold medal. The guy is awesome and don&#8217;t be surprised if soon he gets a medal in the adult division; that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re working toward.</p>
<p>“Now I can hardly wait to help the team at the Pan and then go for first at the Dallas Open in May. We&#8217;ll have a big training camp here in Dallas for the Worlds, me and Rodrigo Feijão.”</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/you-never-forget-your-first-ibjjf-trophy/">You never forget your first IBJJF trophy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
