<p>Fazia muito tempo que eu não despertava na manhã de Natal com uma pequena, mas grata surpresa. Nem me dei ao trabalho de levantar da cama e fui conferindo os carinhosos e-mails dos amigos pelo telefone. Ficamos até as 4 da manhã eu e mais cinco professores do Emirates Team discutindo vários assuntos, todos, inevitavelmente, relacionados ao Jiu-Jitsu. Dentre os numerosos e-mails, um me contagiou mais. Após umas pequenas frases sobre Natal e lembranças à família, meu ex-aluno Dimitri Pilaris, hoje residente em Santa Catarina, encerra assim:</p>
<p>“Tenho gratidão por ti, meu primeiro professor de Jiu-Jitsu. Não me tornei campeão nos tatames, mas levarei os ensinamentos comigo para a vida. Muito obrigado”</p>
<p>Num pequeno instante, lembrei das primeiras aulas ministradas ao Dimi, lá no Rio Grande do Sul. Ele devia ter apenas 13 anos. Lembro que ainda era baixo pra idade, cheio de ímpeto e, como todo pré-adolescente, não sabia o que queria da vida. Quem trabalha com crianças e adolescentes sabe como o Jiu-Jitsu pode ser um instrumento formador de caráter e como as nossas palavras podem ecoar na vida desses garotos. Dimi, como dezenas de outros, seguiu seu caminho, mudou de estado, mas continuou vivendo o estilo de vida que lhe foi proposto. Seu e-mail veio reforçar a idéia da importância do papel de professor.</p>
<p>Imediatamente me transportei para anos antes. Ainda faixa-branca, fui utilizado como sparring dos amigos Luiz Brito e Murilo Rupp, que iriam estrear no vale-tudo, como era chamado o MMA na época. Em nosso primeiro treino, meu mestre, Zé Mário Sperry, foi bem claro: “Ensinar vocês a golpear alguém é fácil, estão aqui para aprender a apanhar.”</p>
<p>Assim como Dimi levou meus ensinamentos para o dia-a-dia, eu levei os dos meus mestres também. Aprendi a apanhar, não só no dojô. Aprendi a receber os golpes da vida. Estes são, certamente, os mais dolorosos. É neste grande torneio chamado “vida” que se sofre as maiores derrotas. A vitória consiste em viver e tirar proveito dos ensinamentos que o revés nos dá.</p>
<p>Se conseguir levar os ensinamentos do Jiu-Jitsu para fora dos dojôs, pode ter certeza, vai ser um faixa-preta da vida, que é o que realmente importa no fim das contas.</p>
<p>O ano está terminando, talvez não tenha sido um período muito bom para alguns, mas todos devem ter aprendido a “apanhar” mais um pouco. No próximo ano, estaremos mais condicionados para partir ao próximo round.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/licoes-de-cada-ano-com-jiu-jitsu/">Lições de cada ano com Jiu-Jitsu</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_23627-2" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ano-novo1.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-23627-2" class="size-full wp-image-23627" title="ano novo" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ano-novo1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="320" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-23627-2" class="wp-caption-text">Photo: publicity</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s been ages since I haven&#8217;t woken up Christmas morning to some small but welcome surprise. I didn&#8217;t even bother to get out of bed and went straight to checking emails from friends on my cell phone. Myself and five other teachers on Emirates Team had stayed up until four in the morning discussing a number of topics, all, inevitably, Jiu-Jitsu related. Of the numerous emails, there was one that touched me most. Following a few short phrases about Christmas and family well-wishes, my former student Dimitri Pilaris, now a resident of Santa Catarina, wrapped up his message like this:</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m grateful to you, my first Jiu-Jitsu teacher. I didn&#8217;t end up becoming a champion on the mat, but I will carry your teachings with me for the rest of my life. Thank you so much.”</p>
<p>Memories of the first classes I taught to Dimi flashed through my head, back in Rio Grande do Sul. He must have been just thirteen years old. I remember how he was short for his age, full of verve and, like all early teens, he didn&#8217;t know what he wanted in life. Anyone who works with kids and teenagers knows how Jiu-Jitsu can be an instrument for forming character and how our words echo in the lives of these youths. Dimi, like dozens of others, followed his course, moved to a different state, but continued living the lifestyle proposed to him. His email came to reinforce my idea about the importance of the role of teacher.</p>
<p>I immediately transported myself back a few years. Still a white belt, I was used as a sparring partner for my friends Luiz Brito and Murilo Rupp, who were going to make their debuts in vale-tudo, as MMA was called in those days. During our first sparring session, my master, Zé Mário Sperry, made himself really clear: “Teaching you guys to hit someone is easy, I&#8217;m here to teach you to get hit.”</p>
<p>Just as Dimi carried my teachings with him into daily life, I carried with me those of my masters. I learned to take knocks, and not just in the dojo. I learned to take the hard knocks of life. Those are certainly the most painful ones. It&#8217;s in this great tournament called “life” that we suffer the most bitter defeats. Victory consists of living and making the most of the lessons we derive from our setbacks.</p>
<p>If you manage to take Jiu-Jitsu&#8217;s teachings with you away for the mats, you can be sure you will be a black belt in life, which in the end is what really matters.</p>
<p>The year is coming to a close. Perhaps it hasn&#8217;t been the best of times for some, but everyone must have gotten a bit better at “taking knocks.” Next year we&#8217;ll be in better shape heading into the next round.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/the-lessons-jiu-jitsu-brings-with-every-year/">The lessons Jiu-Jitsu brings with every year</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
