										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fighter, trainer, master, director, talisman, encourager, friend. First and foremost, Luiz Alves (1956-2010) was a winner.</p>
<p>Against all odds, he left his hometown of Nova Russas, in the grasslands of Ceara in 1968 to become a fixture among the skyscrapers of Tokyo, the hotels of Las Vegas and the kickboxing gyms of Holland, where he first went to train in 1995. With him he took a talented young fighter named Pedro Rizzo for polish.</p>
<div id="attachment_7844" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/luizalvesvoa.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7844" class="size-full wp-image-7844" title="luizalvesvoa" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/luizalvesvoa.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="442" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7844" class="wp-caption-text">Luiz leaps, in a rare scene where he sports a gi. Photo: Personal archive.</p></div>
<p>After arriving from Ceara, Luiz Alves started practicing judo in Rio de Janeiro, and went on to find fame in muay thai after winning titles in taekwondo. Owner of an open mind, discipline and kick respected mainly for his aim, Luiz taught class scolding his students (“You got it all wrong”), phrases he would swap for words of encouragement when he was in a fighter’s corner. Things like, “Believe! Take his head off!”</p>
<p>As a fighter, Alves would always believe. At a time when no one would train using pads, but shin on shin, he gained respect after knockouts like his win over the legendary Budi, a feared soccer hooligan. Alves beat Budi with a powerful kick to the abdomen, precisely where his adversary had been shot years earlier.</p>
<p>As a trainer, the grandmaster did not subscribe to rivalries or traditions, and in 1998 decided to teach muay thai to a Jiu-Jitsu black belt preparing for an MMA fight. The outcome? The debuting Andre Pederneiras knocked out Rumina Sato after an unforeseen kick, at Shooto Japan.</p>
<div id="attachment_7845" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Luiz-Alves.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7845" class="size-full wp-image-7845" title="Luiz Alves" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Luiz-Alves.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="440" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7845" class="wp-caption-text">As president of the Muay Thai Confederation, working with kids for the future of the sport.</p></div>
<p>There was, however, a night when Luiz Alves could do nothing for his student. It was one of the coach from Ceara’s most enjoyable evenings. In November of 2003 in Japan, TV reporter Gloria Maria barged into the lobby of the hotel summoning everyone for breaking news to be shown on the Fantastico television program: a showdown between Wanderlei Silva and Rodrigo Minotauro, at a videogame arcade in Shinjuku. The next day, Wand would face Yoshida and Rampage, and Minotauro would fight Cro Cop.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Wand-x-Mino-49-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7850" title="Wand x Mino 49 1" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Wand-x-Mino-49-1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>His eyes glued to the videogame, Alves was one of those most excited. He advised Minotauro what to do, hollering throughout, but there was nothing he could do. The heavyweight was in dire straits, getting knocked out by the Chute Boxe star six times, to cackles from everyone present, especially Gloria Maria. “The Wand avatar is really strong, he only loses to Royce, who submits everyone in seconds,” said Rodrigo in resignation.</p>
<div id="attachment_7847" style="width: 490px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Wand-x-Mino3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7847" class="size-full wp-image-7847" title="Wand x Mino3" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Wand-x-Mino3.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7847" class="wp-caption-text">Guided by Minotauro, the Nogueira on the screen tries to escape the Wand&#39;s onslaught and close the distance, egged on by Alves.

<p>It was a sort of virtual revenge for Chute Boxe. Six years earlier in Sao Paulo, the Boxe Thai team Alves had founded in 1984 and Rudimar Fedrigo’s team had a memorable showdown. The two academies were born of the seeds left by Master Nelio Naja, one in Rio and the other in Curitiba, two teams that believed a fight, regardless of the will of those involved, would one way or another end on the ground. They differed only in their training philosophies.</p>
<p>“We always prized the combination of moves, while Chute Boxe would work the hands separate from the legs, etc…” said Artur Mariano, a student of Luiz’s since 10 years of age and a Jiu-Jitsu black belt, in an article in NOCAUTE magazine.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/P1010151.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7848" title="P1010151" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/P1010151.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>After 19 minutes of fighting, Artur Mariano overcame Wanderlei Silva by doctor’s intervention for a giant gash on the forehead, in the final of the IVC tournament.</p>
<p>A victim of brain hemorrhage this Friday, March 19, after a stroke suffered on January 26, Luiz Alves the winner returns to his hometown of Nova Russas for burial with his mission more than accomplished. He leaves a wife, his grown children and a legion of fans and followers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lutador, treinador, mestre, dirigente, talismã, incentivador, amigo. Antes de tudo isso, o brasileiro Luiz Alves (1956-2010) foi um vencedor.</p>
<p>Contra todas as probabilidades, deixou sua cidade natal, Nova Russas, no sertão cearense em meados de 1968 para se transformar em figurinha fácil nos arranha-céus de Tóquio, nos hotéis de Las Vegas e nas academias da Holanda, país europeu onde foi treinar pela primeira vez em 1995. A tiracolo, levou um jovem talento para ser lapidado, chamado Pedro Rizzo.</p>
<div id="attachment_7844-2" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/luizalvesvoa.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7844-2" class="size-full wp-image-7844" title="luizalvesvoa" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/luizalvesvoa.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="442" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7844-2" class="wp-caption-text">Luiz salta, em cena rara, de kimono. Foto: Acervo Pessoal.</p></div>
<p>Depois de chegar do Ceará, Luiz Alves começou a treinar judô no Rio de Janeiro, e acabou fazendo fama no muay thai após conquistar títulos no taekwondo. Dono de uma mente aberta, disciplina e um chute respeitado especialmente pela pontaria, Luiz tocava suas aulas com doces esporros (“Tá tudo uma merda”), frases que trocava por incentivos quando estava no córner. Coisas como “Acredita! Arranca a cabeça dele!”.</p>
<p>Como lutador, Alves sempre acreditou. Num tempo em que ninguém treinava com manopla, e sim canela com canela, ganhou respeito após nocautes como o conquistado em cima do lendário Budi, temido integrante da Torcida Jovem do Flamengo. Alves venceu Budi com um chutaço no abdome, exatamente no local em que o adversário havia sido baleado anos antes.</p>
<p>Como treinador, o grande mestre não ficava preso a rixas ou tradições, e em 1998 decidiu ensinar muay thai a um faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu, para uma luta de vale-tudo. O resultado? O estreante André Pederneiras nocauteou Rumina Sato após um chutaço inesperado, no Shooto japonês.</p>
<div id="attachment_7845-2" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Luiz-Alves.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7845-2" class="size-full wp-image-7845" title="Luiz Alves" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Luiz-Alves.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="440" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7845-2" class="wp-caption-text">Como presidente da Confederação de muay thai, trabalhando pela molecada e o futuro do esporte.</p></div>
<p>Houve, porém, uma noite em que Luiz Alves nada pôde fazer por seu aluno. Foi uma das noites mais divertidas do treinador cearense. Em novembro de 2003 no Japão, a repórter Gloria Maria irrompeu o hall do hotel convocando a todos para o furo de reportagem que seria exibido no Fantástico: o confere entre Wanderlei Silva e Rodrigo Minotauro, num fliperama de rua em Shinjuku. No dia seguinte, Wand lutaria com Yoshida e Rampage, e Minota contra Cro Cop.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Wand-x-Mino-49-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7850" title="Wand x Mino 49 1" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Wand-x-Mino-49-1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Olho vidrado no videogame, Alves era um dos mais empolgados. Deu conselhos para Minotauro antes, não parou de berrar para incentivar o pupilo, mas nada pôde fazer. Ficou ruim para o peso pesado, nocauteado seis vezes pelo astro da Chute Boxe, para gargalhada de todos, especialmente Gloria Maria. &#8220;O boneco do Wand é muito forte, só perde para o Royce, que finaliza todo mundo em segundos&#8221;, resignou-se Rodrigo.</p>
<div id="attachment_7847-2" style="width: 490px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Wand-x-Mino3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7847-2" class="size-full wp-image-7847" title="Wand x Mino3" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Wand-x-Mino3.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7847-2" class="wp-caption-text">Comandado por Minotauro, o Nogueira da tela tenta escapar dos safanões de Wand e encurtar a distância, sob o incentivo atento de Alves.

<p>Foi uma espécie de vingança virtual da Chute Boxe. Seis anos antes em São Paulo, a equipe Boxe Thai que Alves fundara em 1984 e o time de Rudimar Fedrigo haviam feito um tira-teima memorável. Eram duas academias que nasceram das sementes do mesmo mestre Nélio Naja, uma no Rio outra em Curitiba, duas equipes que acreditavam que a luta, independentemente da vontade dos envolvidos, poderia acabar no chão. Suas diferenças eram apenas em relação à filosofia de treinos.</p>
<p>“Nós sempre prezamos a combinação de golpes, enquanto a Chute Boxe trabalhava a mão separada das pernas, etc”, contou Artur Mariano, aluno de Luiz desde os 10 anos e faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu, em reportagem da Revista NOCAUTE.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/P1010151.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7848" title="P1010151" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/P1010151.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Após 19 minutos de luta, Artur Mariano venceu um Wanderlei com um grande corte na testa por interrupção médica, na final do torneio do IVC.</p>
<p>Vítima de hemorragia cerebral nessa sexta-feira, 19 de março, após um AVC sofrido no último dia 26 de janeiro, o vencedor Luiz Alves volta para ser enterrado em Nova Russas com a missão mais que cumprida. Deixa mulher, filhos e uma legião de amigos e seguidores.</p>
