<p>“Já fiz três lutas de MMA, no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, e posso afirmar: lutar Jiu-Jitsu é muito mais tenso e complexo. Eu já sabia disso, e repeti essa constatação em voz alta, no ginásio da Califórnia State University Dominguez Hills, no sábado, bem antes de tudo acontecer. Eu ainda não podia saber, claro. Mas, umas 24 horas depois, naquele domingo fatídico, eu acordaria na maior tranquilidade, pensando que era a manhã da luta – até ver que ao meu lado estava o Wellington Megaton, com os trajes de árbitro do <a href="https://ibjjf.com/events/results/2008-world-jiu-jitsu-no-gi-ibjjf-championship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2º Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu Sem Kimono</a>. Caí numa tocaia. Mas deixemos isso para o fim.</p>
<p>A história começou no sábado, 9 de agosto de 2008. Não, na real começou antes, no mês de maio. Foi quando aceitei a missão de estabelecer nos EUA e comandar a <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/2011/12/03/draculino-mostra-54-tecnicas-em-menos-de-12-minutos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gracie Barra Texas</a>, na cidade de Houston. Após um período totalmente voltado para o MMA e para o desenvolvimento dos meus alunos, achei que era a hora de voltar a botar a cara nos torneios e sentir a adrenalina de competir entre a garotada.</p>
<p>Estou com 37 anos. Não lutava um campeonato na categoria adulto desde 2002, no Pan da IBJJF. Com as coisas mais mansas, e com 150 alunos em Houston, quis mostrar a eles que o Jiu-Jitsu é para todos, e que mais vale cair dentro e lutar do que ficar pensando em desculpas ou se esconder atrás da fama.</p>
<p>A merda de ficar afastado é que você perde muito a tarimba, as manhas de competição – o ritmo da luta, a malandragem, coisas assim. Estranhei até como bater o peso para o campeonato, depois de tanto tempo sem enfrentar as balanças. O segredo é saber quantos quilos você perde ao dormir, e assim calcular certinho quanto você precisa bater pela manhã, para não ficar nem muito acima nem muito abaixo do seu peso ideal. Por isso passei aqueles dias carregando minha balança a tiracolo pelo ginásio, enquanto o pessoal brincava comigo.</p>
<p>A melhor sensação para mim foi na hora de aquecer, aquele frio na barriga antes da primeira luta. Não se trata de medo, você sabe. É pura adrenalina nas veias. Como eu estava dizendo, o vale-tudo e o MMA são extremos, claro, e podem ter lances brutais. Mas por outro lado você conhece o adversário, estuda o estilo do rival com antecedência, ganha uma bolsa boa, passagens aéreas para você e seu time – e faz uma luta só e a missão está cumprida. Praticamente o oposto do Jiu-Jitsu, em que lutamos por amor ao esporte, não faz ideia sobre quem vai encarar e o que pode acontecer.</p>
<p>A única coisa certa em todos os torneios de Jiu-Jitsu, por exemplo, é que vai haver ao menos uma grande surpresa, uma zebra a galopar nos tatames. O negócio é fazer tudo certinho para que não seja contra você.</p>
<p>Preparei meu Ipod com 4 mil músicas. Nada de hip-hop, que sou da antiga, mas acabei não escutando meu rock favorito antes da hora da verdade – “Angel of death”, da banda Slayer. Olha aí, vai ver que foi isso que fez a diferença, que causou aquele lance com os vagalumes. Tremendo papelão, foi o que pensei na hora. Mas claro que não me envergonho agora. Vergonha eu teria caso eu mutucasse, fugisse da luta ou agisse como um frouxo.</p>
<p>Em campeonatos de Jiu-Jitsu, e aí vale com ou sem kimono, já vi o certo dar errado, o errado dar certo, a técnica perder para ignorância e vice-versa. Depende do dia de cada um, e de outra série de fatores. Essa é a magia do esporte. E é essa magia que me faz estar lá sempre no ginásio, mesmo quando eu não vou lutar, e encarar calor ou frio nos ginásios da Califórnia.</p>
<p>Naquele fim de semana, o calorão estava especial, e o clima dentro da área de lutas não era mais ameno. Afinal, não é sempre que podemos ver em ação Saulo Ribeiro, Roberto Godói, Baret Yoshida, Jorge Pereira e tantos outros nomes da minha época. Tanto que a divisão de masters tinha mais astros que na categoria adulto.</p>
<p>Porém, formado por uma nova geração de astros, faixas-pretas cascas-grossíssimas, o adulto foi um espetáculo para os torcedores. Acostumado a um tempo em que víamos um mar de caras feias e lutadores cheios de marra, me impressionou ver como a molecada atual é educada, cordial e respeitosa com a gente e entre eles. Todos se cumprimentavam, trocavam reverências, numa clara demonstração que lutam para se divertir e evoluir, antes de tudo. Alguns, inclusive, me disseram que eu era um grande exemplo, por estar ali inscrito entre eles após faturar o ouro na minha divisão de 37 anos. Foi muito legal ouvir isso.</p>
<p>Eu sabia que não precisava provar nada a ninguém – exceto a você mesmo, todos os dias da vida. Por isso eu cheguei a rir ao ver uma luta da garotada. Percebi que para chegar perto da explosão, timing e pujança dos garotos, eu precisaria de uns cinco campeonatos em sequência. Foi o ritmo forte da maioria, mais do que a técnica, que me chamou a atenção. O que dizer de Rubens Cobrinha? A luta dele pelo ouro dos leves, contra Jeff Glover, foi a luta que mais me impressionou no evento. Um verdadeiro jogo de xadrez, vencido por Cobrinha por uma vantagem ao quase chegar do lado e dar um bote nas costas.</p>
<p><iframe title="Time Travel Tuesdays - Rubens Cobrinha Charles vs Jeff Glover   Nogi Worlds 08" width="650" height="366" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h6cNbCw6pkU?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>Na minha divisão, o peso-pena, Bruno Frazatto venceu Denilson Pimenta na final. Pimenta luta desde a minha época também, e é um cara bem forte e completo. Bruninho usou sua guarda para raspar e virar a luta no finzinho, quando perdia por 2 a 4. Um lutão de duas, com o perdão da expressão chula, “putas velhas de tatame”.</p>
<p>O grande nome do evento, claro, foi Antonio Braga Neto, campeão absoluto após vencer Gabriel Vella numa final sensacional, no cair da tarde de domingo. Braga Neto surpreendeu ao, com segundos de luta, ir para cima e derrubar Vella, caindo por cima.</p>
<p>No feminino, a mesma coisa, vi muita técnica e humildade. Além da campeã absoluta, a faixa-marrom Ana Laura Cordeiro, campeã após vencer Ana Carolina e Penny Thomas, ainda vi Letícia Ribeiro finalizando bonito no peso-pluma.</p>
<p>E, para coroar, ainda teve o Saulo Ribeiro, campeão meio-pesado numa divisão cheia de garotos, como Gregor e Igor Gracie, que estavam cheios de fome de vitória.</p>
<p>Campeonatos são assim, uma grande festa, em que mesclam-se estilos e experiências. No meu caso, senti falta de ritmo, acredito. Admito que, mesmo após vencer o peso-pena entre os veteranos, não fiquei completamente satisfeito com minha exibição. Achei minhas duas lutas truncadas.</p>
<p>Até que chegou a hora de lutar entre os adultos. E eu, que quase não cometia erros tolos quando era competidor assíduo, acabei cometendo aquele erro primário, logo em minha primeira luta no adulto.</p>
<p>Era cerca de uma e meia da tarde de domingo. Eu sabia que meu oponente, Johnny Ramirez, era um aluno do Rodrigo Medeiros e um cara bem duro. Afinal, ele tinha feito uma luta boa com meu aluno Samuel Braga, em que o Samuel venceu por dois ou três pontos. Fiz minha tática, então: pus na guarda, raspei como manda o figurino e fiquei ali por cima fazendo minhas vantagens na meia-guarda.</p>
<p>Quando a luta parou e voltou no meio, tentei dar uma movimentada maior. Fui fazer uma passagem de guarda um pouco arriscada quando não há o kimono, em que se bota a mão no joelho para pressionar e passar por cima da perna. Deu no que deu.</p>
<p>Ao ver a gravação depois, eu não sabia se ria ou chorava. Meu braço escorregou certinho e caiu dentro do triângulo dele. Eu pulei para dentro do golpe!</p>
<p>Rapidamente, tentei fazer a defesa tradicional do triângulo, no que ele laçou minha perna. Golpe arrochado, vi então voltar aquela poderosidade da antiga, dos tempos em que minha geração foi criada a ferro e fogo. Eram tempos duros, quando incutiam na gente que devíamos ir até o fim para não ser finalizado. E, com os três tapinhas, não poderíamos testar de fato onde era o fim, certo?</p>
<p>Dormir ou bater? Eu, que nunca tinha batido na minha vida num campeonato, decidi que não seria logo agora, aos 37 anos. Não, eu não desistiria depois de velho, naquele Mundial Sem Kimono da IBJJF.</p>
<p>Naquele instante, com meu pescoço imprensado dentro do triângulo, cinco reflexões cruzaram minha mente na velocidade do pensamento:</p>
<p><em>1. Puta merda, que erro! Caí dentro do triângulo feito um idiota.</em></p>
<p><em>2. Preciso me defender.</em></p>
<p><em>3. Ih, não vai dar para defender. Caramba, agora eu sei exatamente como o Royler se sentiu no ADCC 2003. O que faço?</em></p>
<p><em>4. Ferrou. E agora: bater ou não bater?</em></p>
<p><em>5. Bater é o caralho. Vou ficar aqui mesmo.</em></p>
<p>Cheguei até a sonhar. Dormir num golpe é uma sensação estranha, porque é um lance suave. Não é nada traumático, como um nocautaço no vale-tudo. Primeiro, aparecem umas luzes piscando, como um bando de vaga-lumes. Quando você não espera mais, dorme.</p>
<p>Jiu-Jitsu, portanto, é isso: errou, já era, apagou. Deixo claro, primeiro, que meu jovem oponente teve todos os méritos. Segundo: batucar e desistir em campeonato não é demérito para ninguém, pelo contrário. Isso é loucura minha que ninguém deve pensar em seguir, não.</p>
<p><em>The end.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>There’s a simple formula for getting good at sweeps: lots of repetitions. To become effective with reversals, you have to combine grip-work with a varied repertory of techniques and know the right moment to strike and wobble the opponent.</p>
<p>To do so, one needs to always be thinking one step ahead of the adversary, and that’s something you only achieve through mat time and drilling the basics.</p>
<p>So, today GRACIEMAG.com presents you with some sweeps with which to mistreat passers and warm up for the 2013 season. Let us know which one you like most and which turned out to work best for you.</p>
<h3>1 – Vinicius Canevari teaches half-guard sweep using lapel</h3>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremy Henderson didn’t like to fight, but always seemed to find himself in one.</p>
<p>Jeremy had a tough childhood. He grew up with a single mom and an absent dad, and was always moving and having to start over in new towns and at different schools. He had several “dads” come in and out of his life and at one point, he and his mom lived in a battered women’s shelter to escape an abusive situation. When he was in 6<sup>th</sup> grade, his mom remarried and Henderson settled down in Cocoa Beach, Florida, where he stayed until he graduated from high school in 2000.</p>
<div id="attachment_10250" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0047.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10250" class="size-full wp-image-10250" title="IMAG0047" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0047.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="383" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-10250" class="wp-caption-text">Jeremy (right) with Cyborg.

<p>“I had no direction,” he says, “I wasn’t an angry kid; I never started the fights. I just always seemed to attract trouble.” Although he didn’t like to fight, it was at that time he began to find himself drawn to the world of MMA.</p>
<p>Henderson graduated from high school early, at 17, and asked his mom to sign him into the Air Force. He thought maybe the military would provide him with the direction he needed so badly. “I wanted to get out of Florida,” he says, “I knew I didn’t want to stay there, but I didn’t have any idea what I wanted to do.”</p>
<p>It turns out the Air Force wasn’t it. Henderson signed up for six years and in 2001 he was stationed at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas. “The Air Force was not into MMA training,” Henderson says, “They didn’t want me to fight or compete, but I knew when I started training it was the only thing I wanted to do.” Henderson had finally found his direction, only to discover it wasn’t considered “acceptable” by Air Force standards.</p>
<p>He was determined to train in MMA regardless of the disapproval of his employer. About a year later, Henderson went to Dallas to watch a local MMA event. One person who really stood out that night was Marcus Hicks. “I was impressed with his fight and decided to meet him and start learning from him,” Henderson says, “He lived about 3 ½ hours away. I drove to his gym every weekend and learned more in a few hours than I did training every day back at Dyess.”</p>
<p>Hicks taught Henderson No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. “Marcus was very quiet,” Henderson says, “He didn’t talk to many people, but we hit it off. He ended up becoming my roommate and best friend.” In 2005, Henderson was temporarily stationed in Dallas for six months and he began training with Hicks full-time.</p>
<p>“In 2006 I had my first amateur MMA fight in Missouri for an organization called Cage of Honor,” Henderson says, “I won my fight in 55 seconds. It was ground and pound from the guard and ended in a TKO.”<strong> </strong>There was no real Jiu-Jitsu in that match, but Henderson says he doesn’t think he even really understood what Jiu-Jitsu was at the time. He’d trained mostly in submission fighting and No-Gi for MMA.</p>
<p>Three months later Henderson had a second fight and lost to a Jiu-Jitsu guy.  “I was a huge fan of Randy Couture,” Henderson says, “So, with $300 in my pocket, some clothes, and my gym bag, I moved to Portland, Oregon to train out of Team Quest. I gave my apartment and everything in it to a guy I’d been working with in Dallas.”</p>
<p>But Henderson still wanted to train in Jiu-Jitsu. “Not too long after training at Team Quest I was driving to work one day and saw a local Jiu-Jitsu school, New Breed Academy, owned by Johnny Ramirez,” Henderson says, “I decided to stop in and see what it was all about. I fell in love with Jiu-Jitsu and training in the Gi.” Henderson started training with Ramirez, who let him move in above his academy. He slept and trained there full-time for five months.</p>
<p>That year, Ramirez took Henderson and some of the other students to California to compete in the Pan. “When we arrived in L.A. I knew that California was the place I wanted to live,” Henderson says, “When we got back to Portland I talked to Johnny about my training experience and he offered to let me stay at his academy in Santa Fe Springs, California, and teach the kids program there.”</p>
<p>Henderson happily moved to CA and enjoyed the life of training, teaching, and living by the beach. “It was amazing,” he says, “I got a chance to train with a lot of really great guys, like Andre Galvao, Marcelo Garcia, Leo Vieira, Marcel Louzado, Vitor Shaolin Ribeiro, and many more.”</p>
<p>In 2007, Henderson was feeling homesick for his family. His mom had moved to Abilene, Texas, in 2004, and so he decided to move back and open a school there, since he knew there were no Jiu-Jitsu schools in town. He leased a small 1500 square foot building and started “Redstar MMA.” “I was a blue belt at the time,” he says, “My school specialized in Jiu-Jitsu, Gi and No-Gi training, and MMA. I taught all the classes. A lot of my Jiu-Jitsu was No-Gi, so I traveled a lot to train with other Jiu-Jitsu practitioners to learn more about Gi training.”</p>
<p>One of those people was Vinicius &#8220;Draculino&#8221; Magalhaes, who had just moved to Houston to open up a Gracie Barra School. “I have been the biggest fan of his and his students Romulo Barral and Samuel Braga since putting on the gi, and I knew that he was the person I wanted to learn from the most,” Henderson says, “I contacted Gracie Barra about becoming an affiliate and flew Draculino to my school in Abilene for the first time in 2007.” Henderson’s academy is now officially called GB Abilene and Draculino is his professor.</p>
<p>Henderson received his purple belt from Draculino at the end of 2007. &#8220;Draculino has a true talent for showing details and the invisible Jiu-Jitsu that a lot of teachers understand, but have a hard time teaching. I think that’s what makes Draculino so great. He can compete with the best of them, but he can also teach the information that he uses in tournaments by showing you every little detail”, he tells.</p>
<p>Today, Henderson still travels around training with some of the world’s best Jiu-Jitsu practitioners to learn more about the art, but now he’s also flying them in to give seminars at his school. Most recently, Roberto Cyborg gave a class, while his next big seminar is on October 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> with Draculino and Romulo Barral. After that, he says he’s got his sights set on Kayron Gracie.</p>
<p>GB Abilene has outgrown two locations and they are now in their third and nicest location, a 4,500 square foot academy in a busy shopping center. “I’m so excited to be part of the GB team and to have Professor Draculino to learn from. It’s the most rewarding feeling to have a great academy and to be able to teach my students what I have learned over the years.” As far as his training is concerned, he is focusing solely on the Gi now. He will compete in the 2011 Pan and Worlds.</p>
<p>While Henderson’s life may have settled down and changed dramatically, his ability to attract trouble has not. It was after a seminar at Henderson’s GB Abilene school that he and Braulio Estima heard some shots at outside a bar. It’s nice to know that some things never change!</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/boys-dont-like-to-fight/">Boys don’t like to fight</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
