										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_18079" style="width: 486px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/giba-moyano.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18079" class="size-full wp-image-18079" title="giba moyano" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/giba-moyano.jpg" alt="" width="476" height="347" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-18079" class="wp-caption-text">Giba performs triangle.

<p>Jiu-Jitsu shows how it’s possible to ease complicated situations and turn them around, whether in the dojo or in life. One of the greatest lessons of the mat is that there are ways to overcome the obstacle, regardless of what it is. Take Helio Gracie, for example, who through the gentle art overcame health problems during childhood, and adapted his game in such a way as to handle much bigger and stronger opponents. Helio in his day definitively revolutionized fight techniques, and debunked concepts considered solid up until that point.</p>
<p>The keyword is “adaptation.” The thousands of – maybe even infinite – possibilities well-learnt Jiu-Jitsu provides are adapted as best suited to each individual, without regard to weight, strength, age, sex… That’s the case with Gilberto “Gibs” Moya, a Marcos Barbosinha and Mario Dias black belt.</p>
<p>First let’s recapitulate, though: In March of this year, GRACIEMAG.com published an article about Russell Redenbaugh. Blind and missing fingers, Redenbaugh earned his black belt at sixty-five years of age. Excited about it, he didn’t hesitate to send us first hand news of him being the first person with such a disability to make it to the highest order.</p>
<div id="attachment_18080" style="width: 489px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/GibaMoyano1.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18080" class="size-full wp-image-18080" title="GibaMoyano1" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/GibaMoyano1.jpg" alt="" width="479" height="343" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-18080" class="wp-caption-text">Now Giba goes for the armbar. Photo: personal archive</p></div>
<p>It didn’t take long for the newsroom to be flooded by messages asking to correct the error: Brazil’s Giba Moyano, 100% blind due to congenital cataracts, was a black belt before then, and his story deserves telling. Now twenty-eight years old, with fourteen years of gentle art experience, Giba was promoted on July 27, 2008. But Jiu-Jitsu changed his life definitively when he was still a white belt.</p>
<p>“I was a thirteen-year-old, and I was lost. It’s a phase where we naturally feel very insecure, and that was made worse because I couldn’t see. After six months I already felt a heck of a difference. Jiu-Jitsu provided me the psychological structure to face a lot of life’s other challenges,” Giba tells GRACIEMAG.com.</p>
<p>He made many advances through the martial arts. Besides participating in major championships, Giba now has Jiu-Jitsu as a profession, a way to make a living.</p>
<p>“I’ve been teaching at an academy in Praia Grande, coastal São Paulo, since 2004. Along with the many valuable lessons, Jiu-Jitsu also gave me the opportunity to work. Ten years ago I never would have imagined it,” he says.</p>
<p>The only thing Giba laments  is the fact that so few people with disabilities seek the martial arts.</p>
<p>“I’d love to do such work, but there isn’t much demand.”</p>
<p>Whether or not Giba is Jiu-Jitsu’s first blind black belt, truth is  it doesn’t matter. The main lesson is that whether the hardship is big or little depends, in part, on ourselves and the actions we take to turn them around. And always remember your great friend: Jiu-Jitsu will be your ally at all times!</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/jiu-jitsu-to-break-all-barriers/">Jiu-Jitsu to break all barriers</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A falta de visão não é obstáculo para Giba Moyano, mais um faixa-preta casca-grossa e vencedor na vida, ao lado da arte suave.</p>
The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/o-jiu-jitsu-quebra-qualquer-barreira/">Jiu-Jitsu para cegos: a arte de quebrar qualquer barreira</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_18079" style="width: 486px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/giba-moyano.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18079" class="size-full wp-image-18079" title="giba moyano" alt="" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/giba-moyano.jpg" width="476" height="347" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-18079" class="wp-caption-text">Giba aplica o triângulo. Foto: arquivo pessoal</p></div>
<p>O Jiu-Jitsu mostra que é possível amenizar e reverter situações complicadas, seja nos dojôs ou na vida. Uma das grandes lições nos tatames é que, independentemente do obstáculo, há formas de ele ser superado. Lembremos de Helio Gracie, por exemplo, que com a arte suave venceu os problemas de saúde, quando criança, e adaptou o jogo de modo a superar oponentes muito mais pesados e fortes. Helio, em seu tempo, revolucionou definitivamente as técnicas de luta e pôs abaixo conceitos até então sólidos.</p>
<p>A palavra é “adaptação”. As diversas – quase infinitas – possibilidades que o Jiu-Jitsu bem aprendido proporciona são adaptadas da melhor maneira para cada indivíduo, sem importar o peso, a força, a idade, o sexo&#8230; É assim também para Gilberto Moyano, o Giba, faixa-preta de Marcos Barbosinha e Mario Dias.</p>
<p>Antes, vamos recapitular: em março deste ano GRACIEMAG.com publicou matéria com Russell Redenbaugh (ver <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/pt/2010/03/russell-redenbaugh-e-o-1%C2%BA-cego-a-tornar-se-faixa-preta-de-jiu-jitsu/" target="_blank">aqui</a>). Cego e sem alguns dos dedos, Redenbaugh recebeu a faixa-preta aos 65 anos de idade. Empolgados, não titubeamos em noticiá-lo como o primeiro deficiente desse tipo a alcançar a graduação máxima.</p>
<div id="attachment_18080" style="width: 489px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/GibaMoyano1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18080" class="size-full wp-image-18080" title="GibaMoyano1" alt="" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/GibaMoyano1.jpg" width="479" height="343" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-18080" class="wp-caption-text">Agora Giba vai de armlock. Foto: arquivo pessoal</p></div>
<p>Não demorou para a redação receber diversas mensagens pedindo a reparação do erro. O brasileiro Giba Moyano, 100% cego graças a uma catarata congênita, já era faixa-preta antes disso, e sua história também merece ser contada. Hoje com 28 anos, 14 deles dedicados à arte suave, Giba foi graduado em 27 de julho de 2008. Mas o Jiu-Jitsu mudou sua vida, definitivamente, ainda na faixa-branca.</p>
<p>“Era adolescente, com 13 anos, e estava perdido. É uma fase em que, naturalmente, sentimos muita insegurança e isso se agravava muito mais por eu não enxergar. Em seis meses, já sentia uma diferença danada. O Jiu-Jitsu me deu a estrutura psicológica para enfrentar muitos outros desafios na vida”, conta Giba ao GRACIEMAG.com.</p>
<p>Os avanços com a luta foram muitos. Além de já ter participado de algumas competições, Giba hoje tem o Jiu-Jitsu como profissão, uma oportunidade de trabalho.</p>
<p>“Ensino desde 2004 numa academia na Praia Grande, no litoral de São Paulo. Entre tantos avanços valiosos, o Jiu-Jitsu também me deu a oportunidade de trabalhar. Há dez anos, jamais poderia me imaginar fazendo isso”, diz.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Graduação Jiu Jitsu faixa preta primeiro cego do mundo Giba Moyano" width="650" height="488" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b_Zr0qXEH0Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>O único lamento de Giba é o fato de poucas pessoas com deficiência procurarem avanços através da luta.</p>
<p>“Adoraria fazer um trabalho desse tipo, mas não há uma procura grande.”</p>
<p>Se Giba é ou não o primeiro faixa-preta cego no Jiu-Jitsu, na verdade, isso é o que menos importa. A grande lição é que para a dificuldade ser grande ou pequena depende, em parte, de nós mesmos e da ação que tomaremos para revertê-la. E lembre-se sempre desse grande amigo: o Jiu-Jitsu será seu aliado em todos os momentos!</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/o-jiu-jitsu-quebra-qualquer-barreira/">Jiu-Jitsu para cegos: a arte de quebrar qualquer barreira</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Apenas mais um feito do obstinado americano, que perdeu a visão e dedos das mãos numa experiência química na garagem. Ele tentava criar um combustível para foguetes, quando tinha apenas 20 anos.</p>
<p>Hoje, depois de 25 cirurgias, anos de faculdade e dez anos de Jiu-Jitsu (ele começou com Regis Lebre), o faixa-preta tem um diploma em Finanças na Universidade da Pensilvânia, muito dinheiro no banco, algumas medalhas no Jiu-Jitsu&#8230; e uma faixa-preta, conquistada com o aval de nosso GMA Eduardo Rocha e de mestre Royler Gracie.</p>
<p>Parabéns, Russell! Você é um exemplo para o GRACIEMAG.com e toda a comunidade do Jiu-Jitsu.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/russell-redenbaugh-e-o-1%c2%ba-cego-a-tornar-se-faixa-preta-de-jiu-jitsu/">Russell Redenbaugh é o 1º cego a se tornar faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
