<p>Gene Pace, a good-natured 78-year-old grandfather, has been training Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Costa Mesa, California, for the last 15 years.</p>
<p>Upon earning his black belt last Wednesday, Gene was featured in the <a title="Jornal Daily Piloto na internet." href="http://www.dailypilot.com/news/tn-dpt-0114-blackbelt-20120113,0,1768188.story" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;Daily Pilot&#8221;</a>, newspaper in an article by <a title="Twitter of Sarah Peters, repórter" href="https://twitter.com/speters01" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sarah Peters</a> with photos by Don Leach, and with the story came some lessons.</p>
<p>Gene trains at GB twice a week, which seems about right for an elder practitioner not to suffer too many injuries.</p>
<p>The promotion ceremony gathered around a hundred of the new black belt&#8217;s friends and fans.</p>
<p>“It was pretty touching,” admitted Gene with a chuckle.</p>
<p><strong>IT&#8217;S NEVER TOO LATE TO START JIU-JITSU</strong></p>
<p>Mike Buckels, a teacher at GB Costa Mesa, highlighted the greatest quality of the senior 5 black belt (because there&#8217;s no such thing as a senior 8 or 9 division).</p>
<p>“He&#8217;s Mr Consistency. He never misses a class, ever,” says Buckels, who only had one black belt under him before Gene. “He does exactly what he&#8217;s taught. If you show him a position, he&#8217;ll perform the movement perfectly.”</p>
<p>Buckels says he&#8217;s judicious when pairing Gene up with a sparring partner but stresses that he is not to be underestimated.</p>
<p><strong>GIVING UP HALFWAY IS WEAK</strong></p>
<p>Gene can hang with me in training—I&#8217;m over 80 kg—and takes me down. He usually trains with guys about 55 years younger than he is,” says Mike, pointing out one of the peculiarities of Jiu-Jitsu, a gentle martial art where technique can overcome stamina and brute strength.</p>
<p>Gene Pace started practicing martial arts as a way to exercise and to give his grandchildren something to get excited about.</p>
<p>“I thought to myself, &#8216;They&#8217;re not going to kill me, and I might just learn something new.&#8217; Once I got started, I thought, “Am I going to give up and embarrass my grandkids? No way, I&#8217;m not going to disrespect them like that. And everyone kept training,” recalls the burly granddad.</p>
<p>Pace&#8217;s finish-what-you-started attitude was key in making it to black belt.</p>
<p><em>Now how about you, dear reader, have you been finishing what you start? Or is there some Jiu-Jitsu missing from the way you see things?</em></p>
<p><em>Comment below on what the main thing you learned from Gene Pace is and if there&#8217;s someone with a similar story at your Jiu-Jitsu school.</em></p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/lessons-from-78-year-old-recent-jiu-jitsu-black-belt-gene-pace/">Lessons from recent Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gene Pace, 78</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Gene Pace, um simpático avô de 78 anos, treina Jiu-Jitsu há mais de 15 anos, na escola Gracie Barra Costa Mesa, na Califórnia.</p>
<p>Ao receber sua faixa-preta, na última quinta-feira, Gene virou artigo do jornal <a title="Jornal Daily Piloto na internet." href="http://www.dailypilot.com/news/tn-dpt-0114-blackbelt-20120113,0,1768188.story" target="_blank">&#8220;Daily Pilot&#8221;</a>, e a reportagem de <a title="Twitter de Sarah Peters, repórter" href="https://twitter.com/speters01" target="_blank">Sarah Peters</a>, com foto de Don Leach, deixou algumas lições.</p>
<p>Gene treinava na GB duas vezes por semana, o que parece o correto para evitar maiores lesões em praticantes de idade avançada.</p>
<p>A cerimônia de graduação reuniu cerca de cem amigos e fãs do novo velho faixa-preta.</p>
<p>&#8220;Foi um pouco emocionante&#8221;, admitiu Gene, com uma gargalhada.</p>
<h3>Nunca é tarde demais para começar no Jiu-Jitsu</h3>
<p>Mike Buckels, professor da GB Costa Mesa, destacou a grande qualidade do faixa-preta sênior 5 (apenas porque não existe sênior 8 ou 9).</p>
<p>&#8220;Ele é o Sr. Consistência. Nunca perde uma aula, jamais&#8221;, disse Buckels, que tinha apenas um faixa-preta antes de Gene. &#8220;Ele executa exatamente o que é ensinado. Se você mostra uma posição para ele, ele vai buscar fazer aquele movimento perfeitamente&#8221;.</p>
<p>Buckels contou que é criterioso na hora de casar a dupla de Gene, mas reforça que ele não deve ser subestimado.</p>
<h3>Desistir no meio do caminho é fraqueza</h3>
<p>&#8220;Gene consegue treinar comigo – e eu peso mais de 80kg – e me derrubar. Ele treina normalmente com caras quase 55 anos mais novo que ele&#8221;, diz Mike, reforçando uma das peculiaridades do Jiu-Jitsu, arte suave em que a técnica compensa o gás e a força física.</p>
<p>Gene Pace começou a treinar artes marciais pelo exercício e para animar seus netinhos.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pensei comigo, eles não vão me matar, e de repente eu ainda aprendo alguma coisa nova. Uma vez que comecei, tive de pensar: vou desistir e envergonhar meus netos? Nada, não se pode ser desrespeitoso assim. E todo mundo continuou treinando&#8221;, relembra o vovô casca-grossa.</p>
<p>A atitude de Pace de &#8220;termine-o-que-você-começou&#8221; foi vital para chegar à faixa-preta.</p>
<p>E você, tem terminado o que começa? Pode estar faltando mais Jiu-Jitsu na sua forma de encarar as coisas.</p>
<p>Comente o que de principal você aprendeu com Gene Pace, e se você conhece algum caso parecido na sua escola de Jiu-Jitsu.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/as-licoes-do-novo-faixa-preta-de-jiu-jitsu-gene-pace-de-78-anos/">As lições do novo faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu Gene Pace, 78 anos</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
