										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jiu-Jitsu just keeps growing in the United States, and ever more black belts are moving to the country to train, compete and mainly, to teach at gentle art and MMA academies.</p>
<p>We sat down for a chat with one of these teachers, Las Vegas Open champion Marco Antonio “Sharpei” Giudice Machado, who recently moved to the USA to bolster Robert Drysdale’s team in California.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Sharpei-Vegas-Open2.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18372" title="Sharpei Vegas Open" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Sharpei-Vegas-Open2.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="431" /></a></p>
<p><strong>You even switched teams before coming here. How did that go, and how’s your new life?</strong><br />
It was a really difficult decision, as I had to change teams. I was at Barbosa and Robert called on me to be part of his team. I liked the offer and accepted. Now I live in Lancaster and am teaching at Kemos Fight Factory. There are excellent training partners: Lucas Leite, Lapela, João Assis, Mike and Sergio Bomba; we have all we need for professional training. And everyone’s really good people here, too.</p>
<p><strong>But Robert’s one of your best friends, right? Is that the reason for the move…</strong><br />
Yes, “Cumbuca” is one of my best friends. I’ve known Robert since I was ten; we’ve been training together since the Master days, then at TT and finally Brasa. His Jiu-Jitsu is incredible; he helps me a lot even though he’s now focused on MMA. He’s really sharp without the gi. I believe soon he’ll be giving the guys at the UFC a hard time.</p>
<p><strong>You just won the medium heavyweight division at the Las Vegas Open. How is your Jiu-Jitsu career coming along?</strong><br />
At black belt everything’s coming along really well; I’ve been competing as a black belt for two years and managed to win some titles. I have a lot to improve on to achieve more, and that’s what I’m working towards. And things here in California are going really well, I competed at three tourneys and won all three: the Joe Moreira, South Bay, and Las Vegas Open tournaments. I hope to keep evolving along with my team.</p>
<p><strong>You had an even match with Tarsis Humphreys at the last Brazilian Nationals. How did that go?</strong><br />
It was 0 to 0. I went up against Tarsis in the quarterfinals of this year’s Brazilian Nationals. It was the third match and the winner would go through to the semifinals. I like his Jiu-Jitsu a lot; I’ve known him a long time. But I feel I attacked a lot more than he did, both standing and on the ground. No one scored any points. I feel leaving it in the hands of the judges is bad all around, for him, for me and especially, the referee. We’ll cross paths again in the future and I hope we have a great match.</p>
<p><strong>What’s your next commitment?</strong><br />
My plans for now are the <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/en/2010/09/last-days-to-get-in-on-american-nationals/" target="_blank">American Nationals</a>, the Miami Open and two important no-gi championships: the Pan and the Worlds. And then, of course, to train a lot for the 2011 Pan and Worlds. I have a lot I need to do in Jiu-Jitsu, and I hope, God willing, to overcome all the obstacles and get gold at the Worlds. Without a doubt that’s by main goal as a competitor.</p>
<p><strong> What’s your advice for someone who wants to move to another country and teach Jiu-Jitsu?</strong><br />
It’s hard work, lots of classes, coupled with hard training. But it’s gratifying, especially when you start seeing results, like growth in the academy and moving up the ranks at championships. I believe there’s room for everybody, but my advice is: anyone who comes to the USA, come willing to work. Because in Brazil all everybody wants to do is train and complain about not finding a place for themselves. There’s no lack of Jiu-Jitsu gyms in California. You have to come determined.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/las-vegas-open-champion-comments-on-new-path/">Las Vegas Open champion comments on new path</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>O Jiu-Jitsu nao para de crescer nos Estados Unidos, e cada vez mais faixas-pretas se mudam para a terra do Tio Sam para treinar, competir e principalmente ensinar nas academias de arte suave e MMA.</p>
<p>Batemos um papo com um desses professores, o campeão do Las Vegas Open Marco Antonio Giudice Machado, o Sharpei, que recentemente se mudou para os EUA para reforçar a equipe de Robert Drysdale na Califa.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Sharpei-Vegas-Open2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18372" title="Sharpei Vegas Open" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Sharpei-Vegas-Open2.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="431" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Você chegou a mudar até de equipe antes de vir para cá. Como foi isso, e como está a nova vida?</strong><br />
Foi uma decisão muito difícil, pois tive de mudar de equipe. Eu estava no Barbosa e o Robert me chamou para integrar a equipe dele. Achei a proposta muito boa e aceitei. Estou morando em Lancaster e dando aulas na Kemos Fight Factory. O treino está excelente: Lucas Leite, Lapela, João Assis, Mike e Sergio Bomba, enfim toda uma estrutura para que possamos desenvolver<br />
um treino profissional. Além do pessoal ser muito gente fina.</p>
<p><strong>Mas o Robert é um de seus melhores amigos, certo? Por isso a mudança&#8230;</strong><br />
Sim, o &#8220;Cumbuca&#8221; é um dos meus melhores amigos. Conheço o Robert há mais de dez anos, começamos a treinar juntos desde o tempo da Master, depois na TT e por fim a Brasa. O Jiu-Jitsu dele é incrível, ele me ajuda bastante apesar do foco dele hoje ser o MMA. Ele está muito afiado sem pano. Acredito que em um futuro muito breve que ele vai dar muito trabalho para o pessoal do UFC.<br />
<strong><br />
Você acabou de vencer o Las Vegas Open, na categoria preta meio-pesado. Como está a sua carreira no Jiu-Jitsu?</strong><br />
Na faixa-preta está tudo muito bom, tenho competido há dois anos na preta e consegui alguns títulos. Tenho muito a melhorar para conseguir mais, e estou trabalhando para isso. E aqui na Califórnia as coisas estão indo muito bem, lutei três vezes e ganhei as três: o Joe Moreira Tournament, South Bay, e o Las Vegas Open. Espero continuar evoluindo junto com o meu time.</p>
<p><strong>Você teve uma luta parelha com Tarsis Humphreys no último Brasileiro. Como foi isso?</strong><br />
Foi 0 a 0. Lutei contra o Tarsis nas quartas-de-final do Brasileiro deste ano, era a nossa terceira luta e quem ganhasse iria para a semifinal. Gosto muito do Jiu-Jitsu dele, conheço ele há muito tempo. Mas acredito que ataquei muito mais, tanto em pé quanto no chão. Como ninguém fez pontos, acho que deixar na mão do juiz é ruim para todos, para mim, para ele e especialmente para o<br />
árbitro. Vamos ter outras oportunidades para lutar e espero que possamos fazer uma grande luta.</p>
<p><strong>Qual seu próximo compromisso?</strong><br />
Meus planos por enquanto são o <a href="http://www.usbjjf.org/american2010.htm" target="_blank">American Nationals</a>, o Miami Open e mais dois importantes campeonatos sem pano: o Pan e o Mundial. E depois, claro, treinar muito para o Pan e o Mundial de 2011. Tenho muito o que fazer no Jiu-Jitsu, e espero, se Deus quiser, superar todos os obstáculos e conseguir o ouro no Mundial. Esse sem dúvida é o objetivo de todo competidor.</p>
<p><strong>Para quem pensa em mudar de país para ensinar Jiu-Jitsu, qual seu conselho?</strong><br />
O trabalho é difícil, bastante aula, junto com treino pesado. Mas é gratificante, especialmente ao ver os resultados aparecendo, a academia crescendo e as escaladas nos campeonatos. Acredito que todos podem ter seu espaço.<br />
Mas um conselho: quem vier ao EUA, venha com disposição de trabalhar. Porque no Brasil o pessoal só quer treinar e reclama que nao tem espaço. Na Califórnia o que nao falta é academia de Jiu-Jitsu. É preciso vir com vontade.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/campeao-do-vegas-open-comenta-novos-rumos/">Campeão do Vegas Open comenta novos rumos</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
