<p>A hora da compra do primeiro kimono gera muitas dúvidas não apenas para os praticantes de Jiu-Jitsu, como para atleta de todas as outras artes marciais. Isso porque a escolha errada do traje pode causar transtornos posteriores, durante a utilização.</p>
<p>Problemas que podem variar desde o tamanho incorreto, desgaste precoce ou modelo inadequado à atividade escolhida. Para ajudar os atletas que estão iniciando no Jiu-Jitsu, e judô, karatê etc, Miguel Malak, presidente da Torah Kimonos, ensina algumas dicas importantes para não se cometer erros na escolha do uniforme de luta.</p>
<h3>1. Kimono de Jiu-Jitsu é para o Jiu-Jitsu! Não improvise</h3>
<p>“A primeira coisa que precisa ser lembrada é que o kimono atende a sua modalidade específica de acordo com as regras de cada esporte (Jiu-Jitsu, judô, karatê etc). Assim, opte por um que seja compatível com a sua prática”, diz Miguel.</p>
<h3>2. O tamanho certo do kimono</h3>
<p>“Procure um tamanho que se adequa perfeitamente à sua altura e proporções volumétricas. Kimonos pequenos ou grandes demais vão prejudicar o seu desempenho&#8221;, ensina. Veja a sugestão de tamanho, baseado em idade e altura:</p>
<p>M00: até 3 anos<br />
M0: até 5 anos<br />
M1: até 7 anos<br />
M2: até 9 anos<br />
M3: até 11 anos<br />
JR: até 13 anos</p>
<p>A1: até 1,70m<br />
A2: até 1,80m<br />
A3: até 1,90m<br />
A4: até 2,0m<br />
A5: acima de 2m</p>
<h3>3. O tecido adequado</h3>
<p>“Existem kimonos de diferentes tecidos e, desse modo, a sua escolha em cada modalidade garante a maior ou menor durabilidade. Os confeccionados com 100% de algodão são mais resistentes e não alérgicos. Kimonos fabricados com tecidos não tingidos (ou seja, aqueles do tipo cru) sofrem encolhimento prematuro e acentuado por não terem sido submetidos a nenhum processo químico”, ensina o fabricante.</p>
<h3>4. Kimonos reforçados no lugar certo</h3>
<p>“Algumas modalidades necessitam de reforços estratégicos em locais de maior desgaste (peito, costas, axilas, joelhos, aberturas laterais etc). A gola deve proporcionar resistência e durabilidade, porém também deve oferecer conforto ao atleta. As calças necessitam de aberturas suficientes para proporcionar o máximo de mobilidade. As linhas utilizadas devem ser grossas e compatíveis com a gramatura do tecido, porém não interferem na resistência do mesmo&#8221;, reforça ele.</p>
<h3>5. Faixas e acabamentos no kimono</h3>
<p>&#8220;As faixas infantis não devem ser muito grossas, pois o atleta não terá força suficiente para apertar o nó&#8221;, lembra Miguel. &#8220;Não esqueça que etiquetas, bordados e impressões em silk proporcionam beleza e acabamento ao produto, mas devem ser produzidas e localizadas conforme a regra de cada modalidade esportiva.”</p>

<p>Alexander Trans of Checkmat team in Copenhagen, Denmark can be considered the ruler of the European Championship. Four years, three belts and seven medals, six of which were gold. The now ultra-heavyweight black belt is only twenty-four years old and has already medaled at the most prestigious tournaments in his first year at the highest rank.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.graciemagshop.com"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-96688" title="Selo_Keiko_LaborDay" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Selo_Keiko_LaborDay.png" alt="keiko offer labor day" width="205" height="206" /></a>In 2010 and 2011 Trans was undefeated in every division he entered including both his weight and the absolute. His debut at black belt was the 2012 European Championship where he finished atop the podium with yet another gold from his continent&#8217;s tournament however this one held a little more weight being in the black belt division. This past Worlds in June he finished third in the ultra-heavy black belt division, sharing the podium with the best in the world.</p>
<p>Trans received his black belt from Leo Vieira in November 2011 after defeating everything he could in the major tournament seasons. These days he constantly looks to improve without focusing on the shiny medals but rather the skills he continuously builds upon. His current endeavor is the ADCC he prepares to face the giants in the over 99kg division.</p>

<p>Keenan Cornelius is a known name and inspiration for the upcoming generation of Jiu-Jitsu competitors. His accomplishments have been unmatched by anyone so far at his ranks in purple and brown belt, leading to his phenomenon reputation. Now only 21-years-old he is considered among the best in the world but it took him seven years to get to where he is today. The motivation to begin training Jiu-Jitsu stemmed from his desire to look cool at school and the gateway opened by his step-father, the first instructor for UFC fighter BJ Penn.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.graciemagshop.com/keenan-keiko"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft  wp-image-96688" title="Selo_Keiko_LaborDay" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Selo_Keiko_LaborDay.png" alt="keiko offer labor day" width="192" height="192" /></a>In 2012, Keenan Cornelius began a raid on the competition mats of Lisbon, Portugal&#8217;s European Championship. Despite many attempts at previous championships local and prestigious, he always fell short of the podium. Fueled by the refusal to lose, Keenan competed that day in the purple belt division determined to give his all so that even if his hand wasn&#8217;t raised, he would at least tire his opponent enough to prevent him from moving forward. He went on to defeat all ten opponents and earned the first of what would be many double golds in his weight and absolute.</p>
<p>Throughout the year he gained more and more gold medals and increasingly more submission finishes. At the 2012 World Championship he won both weight and absolute once more giving him the lone title of &#8220;double grand slam champion&#8221; after winning double gold at all four major IBJJF tournaments (Europeans, Pan Ams, Brazilian Nationals, Worlds). After receiving his brown belt he went on to win in international competitions, submission-only superfights, the IBJJF championships and was even invited to the Copa Podio Heavyweight Grand Prix despite being the only brown belt and the lightest athlete in his group among the top black belts in the world.</p>
<p>Today he trains under Andre Galvao at the Atos academy in San Diego, CA with the ADCC on his mind. He is currently training for the -88kg division with fellow teammates Rafael Mendes, JT Torres as well as Galvao.</p>

<p>Gracie Barra&#8217;s black belt star athlete, Otavio Sousa spends as much time teaching as he does training and competing. The first degree black belt&#8217;s dependable qualities afford him a solid base not only against sweeps but as a full-time instructor at the Gracie Barra Headquarters in Irvine, CA. But his personal qualities also extend to the competition mats. As a 26-year-old he has earned world titles at every belt level which total to five with the last two earned in the black belt division. This past June he accomplished a repeat performance by winning the middleweight division at the IBJJF World Championship just as he had in 2012.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.graciemagshop.com/otavio-keiko"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-96688" title="Selo_Keiko_LaborDay" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Selo_Keiko_LaborDay-140x140.png" alt="keiko offer labor day" width="140" height="140" /></a>When he&#8217;s not focusing solely on his own training and preparations with fellow Gracie Barra competitors, he teaches classes and is often the last one out the door at night. Having found the gentle art at the age of thirteen, he was led by Ze Radiola at the Gracie Barra HQ in Recife, Brazil and has never strayed. By 2006 as a top brown belt competitor, he was offered a teaching position in England. He received his black belt in 2007 from Master Carlos Gracie, Jr. after he won the brown belt absolute division at the Worlds. Furthering his career, he moved to the United States a few years later to begin position as an instructor in Irvine. It was his time as an instructor in 2006, however, where he learned that teaching also allows you to grow. He has since found an overlap in training and teaching as they go hand-in-hand.</p>
<p>Since dedicating himself to his students, he has continued to accomplish multiple titles on the most prestigious level. The game he is most known for is the omoplata submission and guard retention that makes him one of the most feared in the middleweight division. Today he focuses on teaching and constantly pushing his students as he does with his own competitive goals. Set for ADCC in October, he is currently training to compete in the -77kg division and will apply his disciplined approach for the pursuit of gold in Beijing.<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Oi,</h4>
<p>Você deve saber que esta é a segunda campanha<br />
da GRACIEMAG que dá de brinde um kimono novinho.<br />
Desta vez, quem faz a assinatura por 24 edições<br />
leva para casa um kimono Keiko Summer Branco.</p>
<p>Centenas de praticantes de Jiu-Jitsu já aproveitaram<br />
esta bocada, e kimonos estão sendo enviados<br />
para o Brasil inteiro.</p>
<p>Agora que vem o toque fundamental:<br />
<strong>O estoque destinado a esta ação já está perto do fim.</strong></p>
<p>É isso mesmo, esta oferta não vai durar para sempre.</p>
<p>Por isso, vamos facilitar sua vida.</p>
<p>Já que esta promoção é perfeita para você se:</p>
<p>1) Você já conhece a GRACIEMAG e compra todo mês nas bancas</p>
<p><strong>Faça as contas, os mesmos R$ 309,60 que você vai gastar comprando<br />
a GRACIEMAG por 24 meses na banca de jornal (cada exemplar custa R$ 12,90)<br />
você pode usar para adquirir a assinatura e levar<br />
de graça um kimono Keiko novinho.</strong></p>
<p>2) O seu kimono está velho</p>
<p>Ora, comprar um kimono novo de marca boa vai te custar 240 reais<br />
fora o custo do envio (de 20 a 30 reais).</p>
<p>Certo, nossa assinatura de dois anos custa até alguns reais a mais.<br />
Mas de que adianta você ter um kimono novo<br />
e ele não vir com manual de instruções?</p>
<p><strong>Repare, GRACIEMAG é o verdadeiro<br />
MANUAL DE INSTRUÇÕES do Jiu-Jitsu.</strong></p>
<p>Todo mês você entra na cabeça dos grandes<br />
professores e competidores que revelam suas<br />
técnicas, abordagens, macetes e filosofia.</p>
<p>Não basta ter um kimono, tem que saber como usar.</p>
<p>3) Você só tem um kimono</p>
<p>Um dos princípios mais importantes numa academia<br />
de Jiu-Jitsu é você se apresentar com o kimono em boas condições.</p>
<p><strong>Ninguém vai te dar moral no treino se seu kimono estiver<br />
todo velho, rasgado, encardido.</strong></p>
<p>Então, ter um kimono só não é o ideal.</p>
<p>Você tem que lavar todo dia, praticamente.<br />
E às vezes ele não seca a tempo, ou então<br />
você chegou tão morto do treino que caiu apagado.<br />
Não deu nem para lavar o kimono.</p>
<p>Sua máquina de lavar também vai agradecer<br />
um parceiro para dividir com ela a batalha diária.<br />
Afinal, depois que encarde não tem muito<br />
mais o que fazer.</p>
<p><strong>Ou seja, a chance de ter seu segundo kimono nunca foi tão BOA</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://graciemag.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=4f55681dbd9f95102e6694328&amp;id=70657b14db&amp;e=06dbc51307" target="_blank"><strong>E aí, está convencido? Clique aqui, faça sua assinatura e garanta seu kimono Keiko novinho!</strong></a></p>
<p>Mas esta promoção definitivamente NÃO é para você se:</p>
<p>1) Você não quer melhorar no Jiu-Jitsu</p>
<p>Afinal, para que servem as dicas de<br />
Roger Gracie, Buchecha, Rodolfo, Rubens Cobrinha,</p>
<p>Leandro Lo, Carlos Gracie Jr, Fabio Gurgel,<br />
Jacaré, Braulio Estima, Renzo Gracie,<br />
José Aldo, Rafael Mendes, Romulo Barral,<br />
etc etc etc etc etc etc?</p>
<p>Você não tem mesmo nada para aprender com eles,<br />
OU TEM?</p>
<p>2) Você não gosta de treino duro</p>
<p>Para que kimono novo? Você gosta mesmo<br />
é de chegar com o kimono fedido<br />
e treinar só com aquele faixa-branca grosso que não tem outra opção.</p>
<p>Nenhum blackbelt casca-grossa vai querer<br />
mesmo treinar com alguém que o cheiro<br />
chega primeiro que ele próprio na academia.</p>
<p>Então você realmente nunca vai precisar comprar outro kimono.</p>
<p>Mas, veja bem, se você não se enquadra<br />
nestes dois últimos grupos, é melhor correr.</p>
<p>Sabe por quê?</p>
<p><strong>Porque o estoque de kimonos está simplesmente chegando ao fim!!!!!</strong></p>
<p>E assim como aconteceu na promoção passada,<br />
quando acabar, acabou.<br />
Não adianta email, apelos no Facebook&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>A gente joga limpo e do lado do assinante.<br />
Não vacile, garanta HOJE sua assinatura e esfregue as mãos à espera de seu kimono.</strong></p>
<p>Aceitamos todas as bandeiras de cartão de crédito e parcelamos sua compra em até 12 ou 15 vezes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2013 World Championship brings us the 18th edition of the prestigious tournament and this post brings us to the end of our reasons to support the event. Pertaining to those who are contemplating whether they will be present in the Long Beach Walter Pyramid, we think this motivation will entice you.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #18: Get in on all the deals from well-known Jiu-Jitsu companies and enjoy the acai!</strong></p>
<p>Every year the Long Beach Pyramid packs in spectators and competitors gathering together for Jiu-Jitsu gold and entertainment. But we can&#8217;t forget about the booths available to everyone that host deals on gear, opportunities and traditional eats.</p>
<p>This year some of the brands present will be: Keiko, Koral, Budovideos, Fuji and Zebra mats.</p>
<p>The brands will be releasing their Mundial or World Championship products that are only available at the tournament. Don&#8217;t miss the chance to secure a limited edition product by your favorite Jiu-Jitsu company.</p>
<p>Also present is the famous acai booth that serves as both after-competition delight and intermission snack.</p>
<p>And, of course, <strong>GRACIEMAG</strong> will have an awesome booth inside the pyramid where you can subscribe to the best Jiu-Jitsu magazine there is, get amazing gifts on the spot and also participate in incredible promotions. The booth will also be the stage for interviews with BJJ stars and a few more surprises that we will disclose as the Worlds nears. We see you there.</p>
<p>And for those who can&#8217;t make it to Long Beach, you can watch the event live at <a href="http://www.ibjjftv.com" target="_blank">www.ibjjftv.com</a> as well as our live coverage on our <a href="http://gplus.to/graciemag" target="_blank">Google+ page.</a></p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/mundials-motivation-18-get-to-the-pyramid-for-good-deals-and-acai/">Mundials Motivation #18: Get to the pyramid for good deals and acai!</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Time to buy your first gi is an occasion marked with doubts not just for Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, but for athletes from all martial arts. This is because a wrong choice of garb could cause you setbacks down the road, when wearing it.</p>
<p>Problems spanning from incorrect size, premature wear and tear or a model not fit for the chosen activity. To help athletes getting their start in Jiu-Jitsu, judo, karate, etc., Miguel Malak, the president of Torah Kimonos, proffers some important pointers to not make a mistake when choosing your uniform.</p>
<h3>1. A JIU-JITSU GI IS FOR JIU-JITSU! DON&#8217;T WING IT</h3>
<p>“The first thing you need to remember is that the gi meets the needs of your style according to the requirements of the given sport (Jiu-Jitsu, judo, karate, etc.). Hence, you should get your hands on one that&#8217;s compatible with what you&#8217;re practicing,” says Miguel.</p>
<h3>2. GET THE RIGHT FIT</h3>
<p>“Try and get a size that fits your proportions perfectly. Gis that are too small or too big will hinder your performance,” he preaches. Check out the recommended sizes according to age and height:</p>
<p>M00: under 3 years<br />
M0: under 5 years<br />
M1: under 7 years<br />
M2: under 9 years<br />
M3: under 11 years<br />
JR: under 13 years</p>
<p>A1: under 1.70m (5&#8217;8”)<br />
A2: under 1.80m (5&#8217;9”)<br />
A3: under 1.90m (6&#8217;2”)<br />
A4: under 2.0m (under 6&#8217;6”)<br />
A5: over 2m (over 6&#8217;6”)</p>
<h3>3. PROPER FABRIC</h3>
<p>“There are gis made of difference fabrics, so you need to pick according to the durability you&#8217;ll need for each style. The ones made of 100% cotton are more durable and hypoallergenic. Gis made of fabric that has not been died (that is, made of raw-type material) undergo marked shrinkage for not having been through a chemical process,” says the manufacturer.</p>
<h3>4. GIS NEED TO BE REINFORCED IN THE RIGHT PLACES</h3>
<p>“Some styles require strategic reinforcement in places where there&#8217;s the most wear and tear (chest, thighs, underarms, knees, side openings, etc.) The collar should be resistant; however, it needs to also be comfortable. The pants need to be baggy enough to offer maximum mobility. The hem should be thick and compatible with the weight of the cloth, yet it should not interfere with its resistance,” he states.</p>
<h3>5. BELTS AND GI DETAILING</h3>
<p>“The youth belts shouldn&#8217;t be too think, as the athlete wouldn&#8217;t have the strength necessary to tighten the knot otherwise,” Miguel points out. “Don&#8217;t forget that tags, finishings and silk screens make the product look better, but they need to be done so as to conform to the rules of the sport.”</p>
