<p>João Marcelo, o popular &#8220;Jonny Big Boy”, de apenas 19 anos, é a nova estrela do Jiu-Jitsu competitivo. O jovem atleta da GFTeam conquistou este status com as suas recentes performances pelo World Pro e o Campeonato Mundial, em Abu Dhabi e na Califórnia, respectivamente, na última temporada.</p>
<p>No mês de dezembro passado, João foi capaz de vencer o World Pro e o Campeonato Mundial em sequência onde acumulou nove vitórias seguidas, sendo cinco delas no primeiro torneio e quatro no segundo torneio.</p>
<p>“Tive uma dificuldade para me acostumar com o fuso horário em Abu Dhabi, também tive um voo muito longo para ir e voltar. Acredito que minha performance foi boa por conta do descanso que tive, me planejei bastante para o World Pro. As pessoas me perguntam sobre lutar com regras diferentes entre os dois torneios e eu costumo dizer que, por conta do meu jogo sempre para frente, eu não mudei nada. Apenas segui o planejamento de buscar a finalização e pontuar ao máximo”, reflete João, que finalizou quatro das nove lutas que fez.</p>
<p>Após as conquistas de dois títulos mundiais, João foi graduado faixa-marrom pelas mãos do seu pai, Marcelo, que o acompanha desde os três anos de idade no tatame.</p>
<p>“Ser graduado pelo meu pai é marcante, ele apoia todas as minhas decisões e eu me senti feliz com o Jiu-Jitsu. Eu tenho muita confiança no que ele me fala, no que ele me diz para fazer e os nossos resultados estão acontecendo. Gosto de competir bastante porque meu pai me levava para competir desde muito novo, não me sinto pressionado. Gosto de testar meu Jiu-Jitsu e lutar sem pressão. Na maioria das vezes, não penso na medalha. Eu apenas penso em lutar bem! Estou determinado a conquistar meu espaço nessa nova faixa. Eu estou muito feliz com tudo e acredito que vai refletir em minhas próximas competições, espero excelentes resultados”, aposta o novo campeão do Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Além da rotina intensa entre aulas na academia e os treinos de competição, João ainda reserva um tempo para se dedicar à faculdade Lipscomb in Nashville , TN. Para ele é importante que o atleta profissional tenha uma formação acadêmica.</p>
<p>“Tenho um cronograma bem dividido e bem organizado. Quando vou estudar tiro minha cabeça do Jiu-Jitsu e óbvio também penso no futuro. Ter uma outra profissão é muito importante!”, encerra o JM.</p>
<p>João vai priorizar os principais torneios da IBJJF nesta temporada. Lutar o Campeonato Brasileiro é, também, uma meta.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/revelacao-da-gfteam-jonny-big-boy-vibra-com-dois-ouros-mundiais-e-a-nova-faixa-dada-pelo-pai/">Revelação da GFTeam, Jonny “Big Boy” vibra com 2 ouros mundiais e a nova faixa dada pelo pai</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">João Marcelo, the 19-year-old also known as &#8220;Jonny Big Boy,” is one of the newest promise in competitive BJJ. The young GFTeam athlete achieved this status with his recent performances at the World Pro and IBJJF Worlds, in Abu Dhabi and California, respectively, in the previous season. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">Last December, João managed to win the World Pro and World Championship back to back, with nine consecutive matches won—five in the former and four in the latter. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">&#8220;I had some trouble getting used to the time zone in Abu Dhabi. I also had a very long flight each way. I believe my good performance was due to the rest I got; I planned very thoroughly for the World Pro. People ask me about fighting under different rules between two tournaments, and I usually say that, because of my always forward-facing game, I didn&#8217;t change anything. I just followed my planning consisting of seeking the finish and scoring as much as possible,&#8221; João, who got four submissions out of nine fights, said in a recent interview. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">After winning two world-level titles, João was made a brown belt by the hands of his dad, Marcelo, who&#8217;s been by his side on the mat since João was three. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">&#8220;Being promoted by my dad is a big deal; he supports all my decisions, and I felt happy with Jiu-Jitsu. I have a lot of confidence in what he tells me, what he tells me to do, and our results are coming. I really like competing, because my dad used to take me to compete from a very young age; I don&#8217;t feel pressured. I like testing my game and fighting without pressure. Most of the time, I don&#8217;t think about the medal; I just think about fighting well! I&#8217;m determined to conquer my space in this new belt. I&#8217;m very happy with everything and I believe it will be reflected in my next competitions. I expect excellent results,&#8221; he said. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">As well as the intense routine between classes at the gym and his competition training, João sets some time aside to go to Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. &#8220;I have a timetable that&#8217;s very well divided and well organized. When I go to school, I take my mind off jiu-jitsu and, obviously, I also think about the future. Having another profession is very important!&#8221; he said. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="en-US">João says he&#8217;s going to prioritize the main IBJJF tournaments this season. Fighting at the Brazilian Nationals is also among his goals. </span></p>
