<p><em>By Andre Almeida of Gracie Barra Simi Valley</em></p>
<p>Jiu-jitsu is becoming increasingly used as a training tool by the Armed Forces. Its characteristics of control and manipulation of the body make jiu-jitsu not only a necessary skill for self-defense and mixed martial arts, but also a must-know technique in the fight against war.</p>
<p>The following 5 theoretical tips/lessons are part of a course that I have taught to many different types of Special Ops teams and branches of the Armed Forces back in Brazil and, most recently, I taught a course to the U.S. Air Force soldiers as part of this squad&#8217;s war training:</p>
<p>1) The ethics of war. The jiu-jitsu practitioner should be trained to be the best fighter, but it should also be an instrument to improve life and balance the mind and spirit, strengthening and reinforcing good principles.</p>
<p>2) The training of the mind. The training required for the mastering of jiu-jitsu offers and enables a better understanding of different situations, making it easier for the soldier to read and visualize each peculiarity, which allows the work of a more complete reaction in a situation in check, even under great pressure for a quick response.</p>
<p>3) Understanding the lever. The key is the understanding of the lever in such way that the soldier can learn how to use locks and chokes in an effective way, but knowing how to use a proper reaction to the action taken. In other words, the mastering of jiu-jitsu allows control of the situation without falling into the trap of the abuse of power and, at the same time, the risk of being dominated when in battle.</p>
<p>4) Seeing defeat as a bridge for improvement. Learning how to embrace difficulties and challenges as a path for improvement is a fundamental mindset for the soldier on the war front. Progress in jiu-jitsu begins with a step back so than you can walk forward. You first learn how to fall so that you learn how to get up, and any introduction to jiu-jitsu will teach you to first neutralize the attack and then be offensive. In this way, jiu-jitsu teaches to see failure as a part of progress and to accept defeat as a work in progress.</p>
<p>5) The mastery of jiu-jitsu for personal growth. There is no activity that works and trains every aspect of the individual like jiu-jitsu. An intellectual activity will sharpen the mind but neglect the body; conditioning alone will be beneficial for the body but will neglect the mind. Jiu-jitsu is the only activity that will train and improve all human needs. From a war perspective, the soldier will be trained to keep a sharp mind for the correct application of any measure that requires a strategy action or plan an attack and the body will be trained for the fight but it will also be trained not to be broken and endure the hard days of war.</p>

<p><em>*Por Andre Almeida</em></p>
<p>O Jiu-Jitsu vem sendo cada vez mais utilizado como ferramenta de treinamento pelas forças armadas. Com suas característica de controle e manipulação do corpo, o Jiu-Jitsu se coloca como uma arte marcial fundamental não só de defesa pessoal, mas também como necessária para treinar a mente dos soldados no front de guerra.</p>
<p>Destaquei cinco dicas/lições teóricas que ensinei para os soldados da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos da América em um curso que ministrei como parte do treinamento de guerra deste esquadrão. Leia com atenção.</p>
<p>1. A ética de guerra. O praticante de Jiu-Jitsu deve ser treinado não só para ser o melhor lutador, mas a arte deve servir também como instrumento que vai proporcionar uma vida balanceada com foco na disciplina física e mental, fortalecendo o caráter e reforçando os bons princípios.</p>
<p>2. O treinamento da mente. O rigoroso treinamento necessário para o domínio do Jiu-Jitsu proporciona e possibilita um melhor entendimento das diferentes situações, facilitando ao soldado uma melhor leitura e visão do meio, que permite o emprego de uma reação mais adequada a situação em cheque, mesmo quando sob grande pressão e necessidade de uma rápida resposta.</p>
<p>3. O entendimento da alavanca. Faz-se fundamental o necessário entendimento da alavanca, estrangulamento e diversas chaves (como chave de braço, chave de pé, entre outras) por parte do soldado para que sempre seja empregada a devida reação para com a ação tomada. Em outras palavras, o domínio do Jiu-Jitsu permite ao soldado o controle da situação sem a necessidade de abuso de força e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzindo o risco de ser dominado quando em batalha.</p>
<p>4. Enxergando a derrota como ponte para a melhoria. Aprender a abraçar as dificuldades, os desafios e as derrotas como um caminho para a melhoria é um dica fundamental para o soldado no front de guerra. Qualquer progresso no Jiu-Jitsu começa com um passo para trás para depois caminhar para frente. A aula introdutória básica ensina o aluno a primeiro cair para depois aprender a levantar, ensina a primeiro neutralizar o ataque para depois atacar. Dessa forma o Jiu-Jitsu ensina a aceitar o fracasso e o desconforto como parte do progresso.</p>
<p>5. O domínio do Jiu-Jitsu para a melhoria individual. Não há atividade que trabalhe e treine todas as facetas do homem como o Jiu-Jitsu. O trabalho intelectual vai afiar a mente mas o corpo será negligenciado, enquanto o condicionamento físico por si só melhora o corpo mas negligencia a mente. O Jiu-Jitsu atende a todas as necessidades humanas. Dentro de uma perspectiva de guerra, o soldado será treinado pelo Jiu-Jitsu a manter a sua mente perspicaz para adoção correta de qualquer medida que demande um pensamento de estratégia, de ação ou planejamento de ataque. O corpo estará treinado para o combate mas também será treinado para não ser quebrado e suportar as difíceis jornadas da guerra.</p>

<p>The fifth graders at Lincoln Elementary have been lucky enough to gain access to Jiu-Jitsu in their school. The team at GMA Gracie Morumbi brought a bully prevention program into a fifth grade class to help them gain confidence, learn self-defense and have fun in the process.</p>
<div id="attachment_111918" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-111918" class="size-medium wp-image-111918" alt="Brandon with Professor Erik at Woodranch Elementary School.

<p>In Simi Valley, CA another school was granted the presence of a five year-old student, Brandon, who came along with Professor Erik to teach students the importance of staying safe. They learned the &#8220;No, Go, Yell, Tell&#8221; system to help them deal with bullies with Brandon as the teacher&#8217;s assistant.</p>
<p>If the students choose to pursue training Jiu-Jitsu further, they&#8217;ve already taken the first step and getting on the mats at Gracie Morumbi is an easy transition.</p>
