<p>A aula de hoje é sobre defesa pessoal, com o faixa-preta Rafael Ferraz, líder da nossa <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/academias/gb-panamby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GMI Gracie Barra Panamby</a>. A guilhotina em pé, golpe muito forte e difícil de ser defendido, traz algumas opções para quem recebe o golpe, e Rafael explica esses detalhes.</p>
<p>Primeiro, o professor ressalta a importância de dominar o braço que ataca e subir a cabeça, para diminuir a pressão do golpe. Em seguida, ele coloca seu peso no adversário, para que ele mude a posição do corpo, e assim Rafael tenha caminho livre para colocar sua perna e aplicar a queda, livrando o golpe. A movimentação serve também ao receber a guilhotina em pé no treino ou campeonato.</p>
<p>Confira os detalhes da movimentação no vídeo abaixo!</p>

<p>Faixa-marrom da Gracie Barra, Rafael Ferraz, de 27 anos, acredita fielmente que o Jiu-Jitsu é capaz de mudar o comportamento das pessoas e se tronar uma opção de vida. Sabe disso, pois sentiu na pele. </p>
<p>“Falo por mim. Antes de treinar Jiu-Jitsu era um cara encrenqueiro e, quando passei a treinar, quando fiquei viciado nessa arte suave, mudei totalmente o comportamento. Hoje tenho uma vida regrada e abracei a filosofia desse esporte”, conta. </p>
<div id="attachment_9795" style="width: 406px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/GB6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9795" class="size-full wp-image-9795" title="GB6" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/GB6.jpg" alt="" width="396" height="284" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-9795" class="wp-caption-text">Dojô montado por Rafael.</p></div>
<p>Entretanto, agora a missão do lutador e advogado é muito maior. Há algum tempo, Rafael ensina a arte suave para menores carentes. Crianças que foram retiradas do convívio familiar pelo Poder Judiciário, por terem sofrido maus tratos. Do próprio bolso e apoio da Gracie Barra, conduz um projeto social em abrigos para menores. </p>
<p>“Nunca tive apoio nenhum, sempre fiz do meu bolso. Contei com uma ajuda da Gracie Barra e consegui kimonos mais baratos, além de doações de kimonos usados”, disse ele, que comenta o trabalho em Campinas. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/GB7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9796" title="GB7" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/GB7.jpg" alt="" width="109" height="228" /></a>“São crianças e adolescentes que aguardam para ser adotados, que recebem esse suporte até completar 18 anos. Mas agora vou trabalhar com um número muito maior de alunos.

<p>Gracie Barra brown belt Rafael Ferraz, 27, has faith in his belief that Jiu-Jitsu can change the behavior of people and serve as a way of life. He knows it; he’s felt it himself.</p>
<p>“I speak from my own experience. Before training Jiu-Jitsu I was a troublemaker and, when I started training, when I got addicted to this gentle art, my behavior changed completely. Now I live a disciplined life and embrace all the philosophy this sport has to offer,” he says.</p>
<div style="width: 406px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/GB6.jpg" alt="" width="396" height="284" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dojo set up by Rafael</p></div>
<p>However, the fighter and lawyer’s mission now is much greater. For some time, Rafael has been teaching the Gentle Art to needy youths, children removed from their parents’ custody by the courts for having suffered abuse.</p>
<p>“I’ve never had any backing; I do it all out of my own pocket. I was helped out by Gracie Barra and managed to get some cheap gis, as well as donations of used gis,” he said, further remarking on how the in Campinas, Greater Sao Paulo, is going.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" style="margin-right: 10px;" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/GB7.jpg" alt="" width="109" height="228" />“They are kids and teenagers waiting for adoption, and receive this support until they turn 18. But now I’m going to work with a much greater number of students. At the institution there are trade courses and I feel Jiu-Jitsu will be another tool to help these youths on their way with opportunities,” he adds.</p>
<p>Rafael hopes to transform his project, which he dubs “The Art is Gentle,” into a non-profit organization to serve a greater number of needy children. In the meantime, anyone interested in helping out with gis, mats or belts can contact him via email: <a href="mailto:rafaelferraz9@hotmail.com">rafaelferraz9@hotmail.com</a></p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/gentle-art-a-path-for-needy-children/">Gentle Art, a path for needy children</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
