<p>O telefone de André Galvão está ocupado. Minutos depois, a mesma coisa. O GRACIEMAG.com insiste, e quando o lutador do StrikeForce atende em Los Angeles, o repórter arrisca: &#8220;Esse papo com a filhota no Brasil foi longo, hein?&#8221;</p>
<p>André ri. &#8220;Eu estava cantando pra ela, você acertou. Ela agora canta em inglês, está aprendendo na escola e fica mostrando as músicas pra mim, e eu cantando de volta&#8221;, conta o faixa-preta paulista, que desembarcou na Califórnia no domingo, para sua estreia na organização americana, contra Luke Stewart (6v, 2d), neste sábado.</p>
<p>André embarca de LA para Fresno ainda hoje, e a fase é de repouso total, ou quase total.</p>
<p>&#8220;Eu hoje sou um celular carregando na tomada. Estou aqui quietinho, recarregando energia. O treino já foi feito, a dieta para cortar peso está indo bem, então a hora é de ficar paradinho para chegar lá e lutar bem. O principal é que estou muito feliz de estar lutando, não aguentava mais esperar&#8221;, diz.</p>
<p>&#8220;O máximo que faço nessas horas é uma mexida no corpo para ativar os músculos e mais nada, uns rolas de Jiu-Jitsu, manoplas, mas tudo bem suave, bem solto. Só pra alongar e dar uma suadinha mesmo&#8221;, ensina.</p>
<blockquote><p>O Jaca não tomava nem suplemento. Era só suco de caju com goiabada. Ele agora está um mutante&#8221; André Galvão</p></blockquote>
<p>Acompanhado do treinador de muay thai Daniel Woirin, da Black House, Galvão responde que sim, assistiu a algumas lutas de Luke. &#8220;Já vi bastante coisa dele, várias lutas dele. Estou me sentindo muito bem, e fiz o que tinha que fazer, agora está na mão de Deus. Vou dar tudo de mim para levar essa vitória pro Brasil&#8221;.</p>
<p>André soube esperar. Voltou do Dream, no Japão, em agosto, tirou umas pequenas férias, lutou o ADCC 2009, e a partir daí só fez treinar.</p>
<p>&#8220;A luta foi adiando, adiando, mas enfim marcaram. Nesse tempo todo, treinei muito no Rio com Rogerão (Camões, preparador), o Daniel, o Distak e ainda treinei boxe no CT do Minotauro. Nos últimos três meses, fiz um intensivão com Anderson Silva, Rafael Feijão e Ronaldo Jacaré, agradeço a eles demais, e a todos meus parceiros sem exceção, como Mauricinho, Ferrugem, Jessé. O Anderson já está prontinho para a luta em abril. Os caras estão de parabéns, e os treinadores também. Isso faz com que todo mundo se fortaleça junto&#8221;.</p>
<p>Como o GRACIEMAG.com escutou histórias que Jacaré está um monstro de forte, perguntamos a Galvão sobre isso.</p>
<p>&#8220;O quê? Ele e Anderson estão numa forma impressionante! O Jaca não tomava nem suplemento, vê se pode. Aquela saúde toda dele era só no suco de caju com goiabada. Ele agora está um mutante, forte e voando. Mas não é um mutante normal não, Rogerão fez a proliferação do vírus nele&#8221;, brinca.</p>
<p>Papo estava ótimo. Mas antes que André quisesse cantar em inglês, GRACIEMAG.com se despediu.</p>

<p>Andre Galvao’s phone is busy. Minutes later, same thing.  GRACIEMAG.com insists, and when the StrikeForce fighter finally answers in Los Angeles, the reporter ventures: &#8220;The chat with your daughter in Brazil took a while, huh?&#8221;</p>
<p>Andre laughs. &#8220;I was singing to her, you&#8217;re right. Now she sings in English, she’s learning it at school and is showing me some music, and I sing back,&#8221; said the black belt from São Paulo, who landed in California on Sunday for his first-ever fight for the American organization, against Luke Stewart (6w, 2l), on Saturday.</p>
<p>Andre takes off from LA to Fresno today, and at this stage he is at complete &#8211; or near complete &#8211; rest.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now I’m a cell phone charging in the socket. I’m here quietly replenishing my energy. My training has been done, the diet to cut weight is going well, so it’s time to rest up to get out there and fight well. The main thing is that I’m really  happy to be fighting, I couldn&#8217;t stand the wait,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>&#8220;The most I’ll do at this point is get my body moving to activate the muscles and all, some Jiu-Jitsu rolls, hit the mitts, but all really light and loose. Just to stretch and sweat a bit,&#8221; he explains.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Jacare didn’t used to take any supplements.</em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>He was all about cashew fruit juice and guava jam.</em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>Now he’s a mutant&#8221; Andre Galvao</em><em> </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Accompanied by muay thai trainer Daniel Woirin, of Black House, Galvão says yes, he’s watched some of Luke’s fights. &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen quite a lot of them, several of his fights. I&#8217;m feeling very well and did what I had to do, now it’s in God’s hands. I will give my all to take this victory to Brazil. &#8221;</p>
<p>Andre knows how to wait. He returned from Dream, in Japan, last August, took a short break, competed at ADCC 2009, and since then has only trained.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fight was postponed, postponed, but we finally scored. This whole time I’ve been training a lot in Rio with Rogerão (Camões, trainer); Daniel Distak also coached me in boxing at Minotauro’s training headquarters. These last three months I did intensive work with Anderson Silva, Rafael Feijao, Ronaldo Jacare, and I thank them too, and all my partners without exception, like Mauricinho, Ferrugem, Jessé. Anderson is now focused on his fight in April. The guys are to be congratulated, and the coaches too. This makes everyone become stronger together.&#8221;</p>
<p>As GRACIEMAG.com heard stories that Jacaré had become monstrously strong, Galvão spoke addressed the issue.</p>
<p>&#8220;You kidding? He and Anderson are in fine form!  Jaca didn’t used to take supplements, can you believe it? All that health came from cashew fruit juice and guava jam. Now he’s a mutant, strong and on fire. But he’s no normal mutant, Rogerão made his virus proliferate,&#8221; he jokes.</p>
<p>The chat was great. But before Andre decided to start singing in English, GRACIEMAG.com bid farewell.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>André Galvão estará em ação pela primeira vez no cage do Strikeforce, no dia 26 de março, na Califórnia. O adversário, segundo confirmou, será Luke Stewart. Assim como Galvão, Stewart tem como principal habilidade a luta de chão. </p>
<p>“É um cara que também está batalhando por espaço. Ele é faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu e tem um pouco mais de experiência que eu. Mas estou em busca do meu sonho e vou realizá-lo. Vamos para a luta. Estou esperando lutar desde julho do ano passado e já estou pronto há bastante tempo. Agora é só continuar o treinamento e chegar na ponta dos cascos. Se Deus quiser, vou sair vencedor”, diz ao GRACIEMAG.com. </p>
<div id="attachment_4531" style="width: 459px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/susumu27.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4531" class="size-full wp-image-4531" title="Susumu Nagao's Photograph" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/susumu27.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="300" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4531" class="wp-caption-text">O Jiu-Jitsu continua sendo a principal arma de Galvão. Foto: Susumu Nagao</p></div>
<p>Galvão lutou MMA pela primeira vez nos EUA e em seguida combateu no Canadá, em eventos de menor expressão. A estreia numa grande organização mundial aconteceu no Dream, no Japão, onde fez dois combates e perdeu pela primeira vez, contra Jason High, em julho de 2009. O Strikeforce será o primeiro grande evento na Terra do Tio Sam, hoje o maior palco da modalidade. O lutador se sente preparado. </p>
<p>“Tem uma grande diferença quanto ao público, a reação é diferente. Minha estréia foi nos Estados Unidos, mas num evento menor que o Strikeforce. Acho que as duas lutas que fiz no Dream foram boas para já chegar com uma boa experiência. Sei que será diferente lutar nos Estados Unidos, numa organização grande, mas acho que vai dar tudo certo.” </p>
<p>Dizem que o público americano prefere os nocautes. Apesar de trabalhar a parte em pé, Galvão não deve mudar o estilo de luta, que é buscar a finalização.   </p>
<p>“Me sinto bem e estou melhorando a trocação a cada dia. O Daniel Woirin, que me dá aulas de muay thai, e o Josuel Distak, no boxe,  me ajudam bastante. Isso sem falar na galera que treina comigo, o Anderson (Silva), o Rafael Feijão&#8230;. Mas a minha principal arma continua sendo o chão.  Treino todos os fundamentos para não ter receio na hora de usar o meu Jiu-Jitsu. Graças a Deus tenho bons treinadores e bons companheiros de treino. Vou chegar lá 100%”, encerra.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/galvao-vai-de-jiu-jitsu-na-estreia-pelo-strikeforce/">Galvão vai de Jiu-Jitsu na estreia pelo Strikeforce</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>André Galvão will see action in the Strikeforce cage for the first time, on March 26, in California, when he will face Luke Stewart. As is Galvão, Stewart’s main weapon is his skills on the ground.</p>
<p>“He’s another up-and-comer. He’s a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and has a bit more experience than I do. But I’m pursuing my dream and I will fulfill it. Let’s fight. I’ve been waiting to fight since July of last year and I’ve been ready a long time. Now I just need to carry on training and show up in peak form. God willing, I’ll leave the ring the winner,” he told GRACIEMAG.com.</p>

<p>Galvão had his first MMA fight in the United States and followed up with one in Canada, in smaller-scale events. His big-event debut came at Dream, in Japan, where he fought twice losing the first one, to Jason High, in July of 2009. Strikeforce will be his first big event in the US, now the main stage worldwide for the style. The fighter feels he is ready.</p>
<p>“There a big difference in terms of the crowd, the reaction is different. I debuted in the United States, but in a smaller-scale event than Strikeforce. I feel the two fights I had at Dream were good to build experience. I know fighting in the United States , at a big event, will be different, but I think it will all be fine.”</p>
<p>They say the American public prefers knockouts. Despite the hard work he has put into his standup, Galvão won’t change his style, which is to seeks the submission.</p>
<p>“I feel good and my striking is improving with every passing day. Daniel Woirin, who teaches me in muay thai, and Josuel Distak, in boxing, helped me a lot. Not to mention the gang I train with, Anderson (Silva), Rafael Feijão… But my main weapon is still my ground game. I train all the fundamentals to have no misgivings when using my Jiu-Jitsu. Thank God I have good trainers and good training partners. I’ll show up 100%,” he said in closing.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/galvao-to-stick-with-jj-for-strikeforce-debut/">Galvão to stick with JJ for Strikeforce debut</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
