<p>Uma das equipes de MMA mais famosas do mundo, a Chute Boxe formou inúmeros lutadores lendários do nosso esporte, como Anderson Silva, Maurício Shogun, Wanderlei Silva, Cris Cyborg, Jorge Patino Macaco, Pelé Landi e outros. O seu sucesso no esporte, porém, se deu pela fusão do muay thai, prata da casa, com o Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Em uma época na qual as modalidades não se misturavam muito, o grão mestre de muay thai Rudimar Fedrigo já praticava algumas atividades de luta agarrada com seus alunos, mas foi a chegada de um faixa-preta na Chute Boxe que mudou os rumos da preparação de seus atletas e o sucesso da Chute Boxe no MMA.</p>
<p>Para Rudimar, os treinos de trocação e de luta agarrada são essenciais para formar um campeão. O próprio Rudimar, ciente da importância de ensinar com propriedade aos seus atletas, buscou os treinos de kimono e recebeu, no ano de 2017, a sua faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Confira no vídeo abaixo, gravado na nossa GMI Gracie Barra Bandeirantes, o conselho de Rudimar Fedrigo para que você pratique Jiu-Jitsu e muay thai para brilhar no MMA.</p>

<p>No dia 12 de fevereiro, em Nova  Jersey, vai ter início o aguardado grand prix de pesos pesados do Strikeforce. Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Pezão, Andrei Arlovski, Sergei Kharitonov, Fabrício Werdum, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett e Brett Rogers são os convocados.</p>
<p>Na edição do dia 12, Fedor Emelianenko encara Pezão, enquanto Andrei Arlovski enfrenta Sergei Kharitonov. No evento seguinte do GP, Fabrício Werdum combate com Alistair Overeem e Josh Barnett duela com Brett Rogers.</p>
<p>GRACIEMAG.com escutou os palpites de alguns especialistas em GP, que vivenciaram os áureos tempos do sistema de disputas no extinto Pride.</p>
<p>“O franco favorito é o Fedor, ele é o cara. Acredito, sim, que o raio possa cair no mesmo lugar duas vezes e tenho muita fé nos brasileiros. Gostaria muito de ver a final entre o Werdum e o Pezão, o que seria excelente, mas ainda acho o russo favorito”, diz o ex-treinador da BTT Bebeo Duarte.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>“Fica a minha torcida para o Werdum, aposto nele!”, fala o treinador da Chute Boxe Rudimar Fedrigo, que acompanhou nos GPs feras como Maurício Shogun e Wanderlei Silva.</p>
<p>“Sou suspeito para falar, mas gosto muito do Pezão. Entretanto, não posso esquecer o Fedor e o Barnett. Vai ser duro ali dentro!”, lança Rodrigo Minotauro.</p>
<p>E para você, leitor, quem é o favorito?  Confira as chaves comente abaixo.</p>

<p>February 12, in New Jersey, marks the opening of the heavily-anticipated Strikeforce heavyweight GP. Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Pezão, Andrei Arlovski, Sergei Kharitonov, Fabrício Werdum, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett, and Brett Rogers make up the roster for the tournament.</p>
<p>On the 12th, Fedor Emelianenko will face Pezão while Andrei Arlovski faces Sergei Kharitonov. At the next GP event, Fabrício Werdum will do battle with Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett will duke it out with Brett Rogers.</p>
<p>GRACIEMAG.com listened to the predictions of a number of GP specialists who have been around since the olden days of the Pride FC tournaments.</p>
<p>“The firm favorite is Fedor, he&#8217;s the man to beat. Yes, I believe lightning can strike twice in the same place and I have faith in the Brazilians. I would love to see a final between Werdum and Pezão, which would be excellent, but I still feel the Russian is favored to win,” says former BTT coach Bebeo Duarte.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m rooting for Werdum, my money&#8217;s on him!” says Chute Boxe trainer Rudimar Fedrigo, who cornered beasts like Maurício Shogun and Wanderlei Silva in past Gps.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m kind of biased, but I like Pezão (Antonio Silva) for this one. However, I can&#8217;t forget about Fedor and Barnett. It&#8217;ll be rough in there!” wagers Rodrigo Minotauro.</p>

<p>Alexandre Cacareco wreaking havoc on his opponents is no recent thing, whether at grappling tournaments, like the ADCC, or in MMA. However, the one thing missing was for the fighter to return to combat for a big promotion. Not anymore: Cacareco signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship and makes his debut at UFC 122 in Germany on November 13.</p>
<p>“I think he’ll put on a great show, because he’s been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and now it’s come. He’ll debut in Germany, so there isn’t much more than a month to go, and against Vladimir Matyushenko. He’s a great opponent, but Cacareco will do well for sure. I’m going to help him as much as I can to be sure it happens,” says Rudimar Fedrigo, the master at Chute Boxe, to GRACIEMAG.com.</p>
<p>Now Cacareco is overjoyed with his shot in the UFC:</p>
<p>“I was even on the Sensei SporTV show (Brazilian television program) where I said I’d become unmotivated for going so long without appearing in a big event. Master Rudimar told me things were moving, but I never believed it would happen nor that the opportunity would be in the UFC. When he called me yesterday (Tuesday) and told me I was in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, I was overjoyed. I’m where every fighter wants to be!” he says in celebration.</p>
<p>“I just got kind of desperate, because there’s only a month till the fight and I was kind of off focus. But I have this time to get my body up to speed,” he adds.</p>

<p>For his opponent, Vladimir Matyushenko, Cacareco has nothing but respect.</p>
<p>“His heart and determination is unarguable. He’s a warrior who doesn’t duck a fight and he’s really tough. He’s fought in the UFC against top opponents. I’m coming in now so it’s hard to say things about those who are already there”</p>
<blockquote><p>In the division I admire Shogun and Lyoto” Cacareco</p></blockquote>
<p>In one of the most stacked division there is (light heavyweight), packed with stars, the fighter doesn’t hide who his favorites are.</p>
<p>“The two top fighters I admire most are Shogun and Lyoto. One is the champ and the other is the former champ. To me they’re the best,” says Cacareco in closing, asking the support of the fans.</p>
<p>“I’d like to ask that everyone cheers for me on November 13 and to thank Master Rudimar, who is the main reason these things are happening for me.”</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/cacareco-and-master-comment-on-impending-ufc-debut/">Cacareco and master comment on impending UFC debut</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Não é de hoje que Alexandre Cacareco incomoda os adversários, seja nas competições de luta de chão, como o ADCC, ou no MMA. Entretanto, faltava ao lutador voltar a combater numa grande organização. Não falta mais: Cacareco assinou com o Ultimate Fighting e estreia no UFC 122, na Alemanha, no dia 13 de novembro. </p>
<p>“Acho que ele vai se apresentar muito bem, porque estava esperando essa oportunidade há bastante tempo e agora ela apareceu definitivamente. Ele estreia na Alemanha, então falta pouco mais de um mês, e contra o Vladimir Matyushenko. É um grande adversário, mas tenho certeza que o Cacareco vai muito bem. Vou ajudá-lo ao máximo para isso”, comenta Rudimar Fedrigo, o mestrão da Chute Boxe, ao GRACIEMAG.com.  </p>
<p>Já Cacareco é só alegria pela chance no UFC: </p>
<p>“Fiz até uma matéria para o “Sensei SporTV”, em que dizia que estava desmotivado por tanto tempo longe dos treinos e dos grandes eventos. O mestre Rudimar me dizia que as coisas estavam andando, mas não imaginava o que iria acontecer e nem acreditava na oportunidade no UFC. Quando ele me ligou ontem (terça-feira) e me disse que estava no Ultimate, fiquei feliz da vida. Estou onde todos os lutadores querem!”, comemora. </p>
<p>“Fiquei apenas meio desesperado, porque falta apenas um mês e estava fora de foco. Mas tenho esse tempo para botar o corpo em dia”, completa. </p>
<div id="attachment_19703-4" style="width: 419px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cacareco.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-19703-4" class="size-full wp-image-19703" title="Cacareco" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cacareco.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="319" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-19703-4" class="wp-caption-text">Cacareco usa bem a luta de chão. Foto: Carlos Ozório</p></div>
<p>Sobre o adversário, Vladimir Matyushenko, Cacareco prega o respeito. </p>
<p>“A garra e determinação é indiscutível. Ele é um cara guerreiro, que não se esconde na luta e é muito duro. Já fez lutas no Ultimate e contra vários atletas de ponta. Estou chegando agora e fica complicado falar de quem está lá dentro.” </p>
<blockquote><p>Admiro muito na categoria o Shogun e o Lyoto&#8221; Cacareco</p></blockquote>
<p>Numa categoria das mais disputadas (meio-pesado), cheia de astros, o lutador não esconde os seus favoritos. </p>
<p>“Os dois lutadores na ponta, que admiro muito, são o Shogun e o Lyoto. Um é o campeão e o outro é o ex-campeão. Para mim são os melhores”, encerra Cacareco, que pede o apoio dos fãs: </p>
<p>“Peço que a galera torça por mim no dia 13 de novembro e agradeço muito ao mestre Rudimar, que é a principal peça nessas coisas que estão acontecendo.”</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/mestrao-e-cacareco-comentam-estreia-no-ufc/">Mestrão e Cacareco comentam estreia no UFC</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>A 3ª edição do Samurai FC, realizada no último domingo, em Curitiba, evidenciou mais uma vez a qualidade do trabalho desenvolvido pelas equipes de MMA da capital paranaense. Com performances impressionantes, tanto no GP 66 kg, como nos combates preliminares e na superluta, o público que lotou o Círculo Militar vibrou do começo ao fim. Nosso colaborador, Edson Camargo esteve por lá.</p>
<p>Vinícius Vina, da equipe Combate Absoluto, mesmo não estando em sua melhor forma, venceu o segundo GP de MMA de sua carreira. O lutador fez dois combates. No primeiro, venceu André Toquinho por TKO. Na decisão, finalizou Rafael Pinguim com um mata-leão. Na superluta, melhor para Rodrigo Dragão, que derrotou Nazza por desistência.   </p>
<p>Para a próxima edição do Samurai, já estão confirmados pelo produtor Nadim Andraus um GP de pesados e o lendário José &#8220;Pelé&#8221; Landi de volta aos ringues. </p>
<p>&#8220;Aí está um torneio que cresce e vai se consolidando a cada edição. Parabenizo o Nadim Andraus e o desempenho brilhante dos atletas locais&#8221;, declarou o líder da equipe Chute Boxe, Rudimar Fedrigo. </p>

										<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 loading="lazy" 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 loading="lazy" 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 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/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. Photos: Marcelo Dunlop.</p></div>
<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>

<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>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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>O sucessor de Wanderlei Silva. Era assim que, em 2003, na GRACIEMAG #81, os mestres da Chute Boxe avaliavam Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; Rua, o menino prodígio de apenas 21 anos que honrava a equipe com um estilo frenético em pé e títulos no Jiu-Jitsu esportivo. Comprovando que de Shogun a equipe da Editora GRACIE entende, ele <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/pt/2010/03/nocaute-85-2/" target="_blank">este mês retorna à capa de NOCAUTE</a>, em reportagem especial sobre a revanche contra Lyoto Machida. Confira aqui mais esta do nosso baú, e depois corra até a banca mais próxima e entenda como pensa Shogun hoje.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/shogun.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7802" title="shogun" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/shogun.jpg" alt="" /></a></em></p>

<p><em> </em></p>
<p>A Parati vermelha de Mauricio “Shogun” está tão avariada quanto os adversários que o lutador costuma espancar nos ringues de vale-tudo. Pára-brisa rachado, retrovisor pendurado, lataria cheia de mossas. Assustados, o repórter e o fotógrafo de GRACIEMAG fazem o sinal-da-cruz e entram no veículo. Shogun vai levá-los para conhecer a casa onde mora, no modesto bairro de Bacachiri, zona norte de Curitiba. Apesar do pé enfaixado (consequência da luta contra Renato Babablu, no último IFC), o motorista pisa fundo. O trajeto passa tão rápido quanto a meteórica carreira de Shogun, que em menos de um ano como profissional já foi escalado para o concorrido Pride Bushido. Ao abrir a porta de casa, Maurício nota que há uma carta em sua caixa de correspondências: “PQP! Mais uma multa. Isso é coisa do Ninja. Assim não dá”.</p>
<p>Até pouco tempo atrás, Shogun era conhecido apenas como “o irmão de Murilo Ninja”. O nome, ou melhor, o apelido do lutador só se popularizou no mundo do vale-tudo na madrugada do dia 2 de agosto de 2003, quando Mauricio subiu ao ringue do Meca 9 para enfrentar o temido Evangelista Cyborg. Em pé, o representante da Chute Boxe soube assimilar os murros de seu adversário como um resistente pugilista. No chão, Shogun simplesmente esnobou: aplicou uma chave de pé, arrochou o braço de Cyborg com um armlock e ainda montou três vezes. Foi a terceira vitória oficial do curitibano, que já tinha derrotado por nocaute Rafael Capoeira e Ângelo Antonio nos Mecas 7 e 8, respectivamente.</p>
<p>Ao superar Cyborg, Shogun saiu da sombra do irmão mais velho e seu currículo passou a seduzir os cartolas do vale-tudo internacional. E quanto ao público? “Depois daquela luta dei meu primeiro autógrafo. É bom demais ter o trabalho reconhecido”, comemora o chuteboxer.</p>
<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bf2LHtqiY</p>
<p>Um mês depois da luta, Shogun viajou aos Estados Unidos para disputar o IFC – Global Domination. O casca-grossa teria que derrotar três adversários na mesma noite para se tornar o campeão do evento. A pedreira inicial chamava-se Erik Wanderley, campeão superpesado do Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu 2003, mas estreante em vale-tudo. Shogun venceu por nocaute técnico no segundo assalto. Na semifinal do torneio, Mauricio duelou contra Renato Sobral, o Babalu. A luta seguiu equilibrada até os 3min07s do terceiro round, quando Shogun bateu numa guilhotina.</p>
<p>Foi a sua primeira derrota na carreira. “Chorei muito no vestiário. Era o nome da Chute Boxe [ele fala Chute Boxss] que estava em jogo, entende? No dia seguinte, no voo de volta ao Brasil, eu sentei na poltrona ao lado do Babalu. Nós nos cumprimentamos e eu dei os parabéns a ele. Percebi, então, que eu já tinha superado a derrota, estou pronto pra próxima”, diz Shogun.</p>
<p><strong>Celular x Entrevista</strong></p>
<p>O resultado negativo no IFC não impediu que Mauricio fosse convidado a participar do Pride Bushido, dia 5 de outubro. Até o fechamento desta edição, a luta contra Akira Shoji ainda não ocorrera, mas o encanto do público japonês diante da performance de Shogun é praticamente garantido. &#8220;Ele é o tipo de atleta que todo manager quer ter em seu evento: um striker que também sabe finalizar. Se não dá para vencer os combates na trocação em pé, ele leva para o chão e dá espetáculo”, analisa o grande mestre da Chute Boxe, Rudimar Fedrigo.</p>
<p>O que impressiona é que Shogun não tem a graduação máxima nas artes marciais que pratica com tanta desenvoltura. Tarja azul-escuro de muay thai e faixa-marrom de Jiu-Jitsu, Shogun defende o seguinte lema: “Faixa é um pedaço de pano para amarrar kimono. Eu luto contra qualquer um, de igual para igual, afinal&#8230;” A declaração é interrompida de repente, pois está tocando o celular de Shogun:</p>
<p>“Fala, Bitoca! Me liga daqui a pouco, eu estou dando uma entrevista para a GRACIE”.</p>
<p>Que história é essa de “Bitoca”?! “Ah, é um amigo meu das antigas&#8230; A gente chama ele de Pit-Bitoca. O cara fica puto&#8230; Mas onde foi que a entrevista parou mesmo?”. Enquanto o repórter tenta refrescar a memória de Shogun, o celular toca de novo.</p>
<p>Desta vez, o lutador atende com voz de veludo: “Oi, neném&#8230; Eu te ligo mais tarde, tá bom? Estou dando entrevista&#8230;”</p>
<p>Desta vez, é a namorada, que ele conheceu num torneio de vale-tudo. No quarto de Maurício, há dois porta-retratos: um com a foto dela e o outro com a foto do lutador desfilando numa passarela. Quando não está treinando, Shogun dedica-se ao mundo da moda.</p>
<p>“A carreira de modelo é só um bico. Quando eu tinha 19, um cara me viu numa feira e se ofereceu para fazer o meu book. Como era de graça, eu aceitei e desde então ganho um dinheirinho com trabalhos de moda. Mas é a luta que está em primeiro plano na minha vida”, explica o “Paulo Zulu” das artes marciais.</p>
<p>Com 94kg e 1,82m, Shogun pretende chegar a 100kg nos próximos quatro anos e se tornar um peso pesado. “Ele vai ser o sucessor do Wanderlei”, diz Rudimar. O irmão de Ninja fica encabulado, mas faz uma retificação. “Ainda falta muita coisa para eu ser um Wanderlei. Experiência é a principal delas. Tenho que raciocinar mais durante as lutas”, avalia Mauricio, que nem lembra muito bem por que ganhou o apelido de “Shogun”. “A marca do kimono que eu usava quando comecei no Jiu-Jitsu se chamava Shogun [nome de um mitológico guerreiro japonês]. Como eu era irmão de um “Ninja”, o pessoal achou que os apelidos combinavam e a coisa pegou”, relembra o lutador, cujo celular toca novamente:</p>
<p>“Mas tu é chato mesmo hein, Bitoca! Pode falar agora. A entrevista acabou”.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/do-bau-um-shogun-quase-famoso/">Do baú: um Shogun quase famoso</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<div style="width: 490px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="Sakuraba training with former rivals at Chute Boxe. Photo: Gustavo Aragao" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/DSC_0022.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="312" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sakuraba training with former rivals at Chute Boxe. Photos: Gustavo Aragao</p></div>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Everything suggested that Kazushi Sakuraba’s trip to Brazil to train at the academy of his age-old rival Wanderlei Silva was just a rumour without rhyme or reason. But the improbable happened. On August 19, 2005 the Japanese star arrived at Chute Boxe academy somewhat sheepish, greeting everyone with quick nods of the head, the sort of reverence and ceremony common in Japan. All it took, though, was a few weeks living with the chuteboxers for Sak to loosen up, conforming to more laid-back greetings (such as punching each others hands and pats on the back), and Sak the showboater shone through.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Fighter Marlon Mathias saw it all first hand. A rumor surfaced in Curitiba that Saku, with his faithful sidekick doubling as translator Wataru Takahashi, entered a newsstand in the capital of Parana and came face to face with one of those videos you have to be over 18 years of age to purchase. The two fell in love with some comely ladies on the cover of a porn DVD and, as they couldn’t read Portuguese, they couldn’t heed the warning printed on the cover: &#8220;She-men.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Once recovered from the shock of seeing the beauties undressed on the TV screen, Sak and Takahashi decided to give a little present to a training partner. &#8220;Boy, that Sakuraba is a handful. After trying to deceive me, he now wants the DVD back to give to Takada,&#8221; said Mathias, referring to Nobuhiko Takada, not just the head of the gym where Sak and Takahashi train in Japan (Takada Dojo), but also one of most influential men in the Pride Fighting Championship organization.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Luck or setback?</span></strong><span style="font-style: normal;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Since the atmosphere was so relaxed, we decided to provoke Sakuraba a bit and ask about the cap the fighter gave Wanderlei Silva to wear into the ring at the Pride GP where he would face Ricardo Arona, on August 26. Since Wand lost the battle, wasn’t the cap a curse for the fighter from Curitiba?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;A curse? But Shogun won the GP&#8230; The cap was lucky, so much so that Chute Boxe won the tournament,&#8221; Sak retorted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">We also asked about the best and worst fights from Sakuraba&#8217;s career but he wouldn’t discuss it. We ran into the same dead end when we prodded him about his rivalry with the Gracie family. His willingness to answer our questions only returned when the topic came to retirement: &#8220;There’s no time limit to fighting, I’ve never contemplated quitting ,&#8221; said the ace of 37 years of age.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/DSC_0058.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="312" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Limited vocabulary </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">What Sakuraba can say in Portuguese doesn’t go beyond expressions such as &#8220;Bora, time!&#8221; (“Let’s go, team!”),  and the most recurrent one: &#8220;I&#8217;m tired.&#8221; Moreover, Sak has no doubt that training at Chute Boxe is much more challenging than those he usually goes through in the Land of the Rising Sun. &#8220;The other day he asked me how to spell &#8216;I&#8217;m not tired&#8217;. I think Sakuraba wants to make a shirt with these slogans to climb into the ring with in his next fight in Pride,” said a suspicious Rudimar Fedrigo, leader of Chute Boxe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">The idol’s performance during practice at CB resembles the theatrical style of a pro-wrestler, making a lot of faces and posturing, with flashy moves and funny screams. &#8220;He also likes to play dead to suddenly lunge,&#8221; says Master Rafael Cordeiro. &#8221; Sakuraba is a trickster,&#8221; he says.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Sak said that it was at Chute Boxe that he did his first Jiu-Jitsu training session. &#8220;I lent him a symbolic black belt to take a picture with,&#8221; says Cristiano Marcello, who considers Sakuraba a black belt in MMA. It is likely readers agree with Marcello’s opinion, with all Saku’s first-rate exhibitions in Pride. If we count only his victims from Brazil, the Japanese fighter has beat in MMA: Nino Schembri, Ryan, Renzo, Royler and Royce Gracie, Ebenezer Braga, Vitor Belfort and Marcus &#8220;Conan&#8221; Silveira.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/DSC_0081.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="480" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-style: normal;">Marlboros and local beer</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Sak&#8217;s accomplishments become even more impressive when the idol of Pride admits to consuming alcohol and smoking cigarettes. &#8220;Just a little, just a little,&#8221; justifies Sakuraba, using some of the few words he knows in English. In Portuguese &#8220;just a little&#8221; means &#8220;just a little&#8221;, but the guys from Chute Boxe insist it isn’t so&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8221; Sakuraba has already paid a bill of $ 2 thousand at a nightclub here in Curitiba,&#8221; says a chuteboxer who declined to be identified. &#8220;A draft beer at a party on the weekend I even tolerate, but if I catch him smoking I’ll grab Sakuraba by the neck,&#8221; promises Rafael Cordeiro.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">A fan of barbecue and chicken soup, he often walks around with an ice compress on his famously bunk, his face completely recovered from the punishment he suffered at the hands of Ricardo Arona in the quarter-finals of the Pride GP (on June 26), Sak also says he is dying of longing for his family back in Japan</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">But when the intensive training session at Chute Boxe ends and the foreigner returns to his country, it’s likely the Brazilian team will miss the Japanese warrior. Each will have at least one funny story from the charismatic Japanese fighter as a souvenir, though.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">Daniel Acacio, for example, already has his: &#8220;I&#8217;ll never forget the day I took Sakuraba to swim at a gym here in Curitiba. There he wore a swimsuit that in my definition is nothing but a hang-glider-shaped thong. The thing may well be common in Japan, but in Brazil it’s somewhat awkward. The staff at the club asked me to convince him to put briefs, but Sakuraba put his foot down and wouldn’t change the thong by any means. &#8221;   If the trend picks up &#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span></p>
