<p>A Zé Radiola-trained middleweight, Otávio Sousa was the big name at the Spring Open, an IBJJF tournament that saw its first installment last Saturday at the Long Beach Convention Center in California. The young professor of Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra closed out the middleweight division with his teammate Claudio de Mattos and secured the absolute title after closing out with his buddy Rômulo Barral.</p>
<p>“The championship was awesome, super well-organized as always. I feel the IBJJF is to be congratulated for always seeking perfection, just like in Jiu-Jitsu, for championships to go through without a hitch,” said Sousa in praise.</p>
<p>“As for my performance, again I&#8217;ll say it couldn&#8217;t have been better. I managed to come up with two more gold medals and got the finish in all my matches, all of them via choke—one from the mount and the rest from the back,” he recalled.</p>
<p>What GRACIEMAG.com wants to knows from Otávio is what his special secret to winning in Jiu-Jitsu is, if there is one.</p>
<p>“One of the things I always try to do is push for the finish the whole time to not give my opponent time to think. While he&#8217;s defending one finish, I&#8217;m already setting up another onslaught,” he said, offering a simple yet precious lesson. Of course, fighting like that takes years of training and a slick plan for attack.</p>
<p>Otávio recalled another recipe, one that&#8217;s ever-more necessary in the burgeoning, high-level sport.</p>
<h3>Never underestimate anybody</h3>
<p>“With each passing tournament I note that you can&#8217;t let yourself underestimate anybody; you have to respect everyone and be humble in there. I learned to be like that when I was little; my parents and teacher always told me that by being humble you&#8217;ll go far. I feel that&#8217;s where it&#8217;s at, and these days some athletes are missing that,” he noticed.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks out from the Worlds, coming up in late May, Otávio feels confident, but he says there&#8217;s a bit missing for him to get the gold.</p>
<p>“This Worlds is going to go off. Mainly in the middleweight division, where I&#8217;ll be fighting, all the competition is burly. I&#8217;m going to stay focused on my objectives, with my Gracie Barra teammates, who put in great performances at the Expo,” he said in conclusion.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/otavio-sousa-all-set-for-worlds-you-cant-let-the-opponent-think-much/">Otávio Sousa all set for Worlds: “You can’t let the opponent think much”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Pupilo de Zé Radiola, o peso médio Otávio Sousa foi o grande nome do Spring Open, evento da IBJJF que fez sua estreia no último sábado, no Long Beach Convention Center, na Califórnia. O jovem professor de Jiu-Jitsu da Gracie Barra fechou o peso médio ao lado do companheiro Claudio de Mattos, e garantiu o título do absoluto ao fechar a chave com o amigo Rômulo Barral.</p>
<p>&#8220;O campeonato foi show, superorganizado como sempre. Acho que a IBJJF está de parabéns por sempre buscar a perfeição, como no Jiu-Jitsu, buscando campeonatos que ocorram sem nenhuma falha&#8221;, cumprimentou Sousa.</p>
<p>&#8220;Quanto ao meu desempenho, mais uma vez digo que não poderia ter sido melhor. Consegui mais duas medalhas de ouro, e finalizei todas as minhas lutas, todas elas com estrangulamento – uma da montada e as outras pelas costas&#8221;, lembrou.</p>
<p>O GRACIEMAG.com quis saber de Otávio qual o segredo especial para vencer no Jiu-Jitsu, se é que isso existe.</p>
<p>&#8220;Uma das coisas que procuro fazer é buscar a finalização insistentemente para não dar tempo de o adversário pensar muito. Enquanto ele está defendendo uma finalização, já estou bolando minha sequência para bombardear o adversário&#8221;, ensinou, numa lição simples e preciosa. Claro, para lutar assim, é preciso anos de treino e um plano de ataque afiado.</p>
<p>Otávio lembra outra receita, cada vez mais necessária num esporte de alto nível que só faz crescer.</p>
<h3>Sem subestimar ninguém</h3>
<p>&#8220;A cada competição noto que não se pode subestimar ninguém, tem que respeitar todo mundo e cair para dentro com humildade. Aprendi desde pequeno a ser assim, meus pais e meu professor sempre falavam que com humildade você vai longe. Acho que é bem por aí, e hoje falta um pouco disso em alguns atletas&#8221;, repara.</p>
<p>A poucas semanas do Mundial, no fim de maio, Otávio se sente confiante, mas diz que ainda falta muito para o ouro.</p>
<p>&#8220;Este Mundial vai pegar fogo, principalmente na categoria médio na qual irei lutar, lá só tem pedreira. Vou continuar focado em busca dos meus objetivos, com meus companheiros da Gracie Barra, que tiveram uma grande atuação na Expo&#8221;, concluiu.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/otavio-sousa-embalado-para-o-mundial-o-lance-e-nao-deixar-o-adversario-pensar-muito/">Otávio Sousa: “O lance no Jiu-Jitsu é não deixar o adversário pensar”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Apesar do grande destaque às superlutas do World Jiu-Jitsu Expo, o LBConvention Center, na Califórnia, também trouxe grandes disputas com a realização do Spring Open, mais um evento da IBJJF. E, depois de ter garantido peso e absoluto no NY Open, em abril, Otávio Sousa repetiu o feito nos dojôs em Long Beach.</p>
<p>Sousa foi o campeão no peso médio, ao lado do companheiro da Gracie Barra Claudio de Mattos, e garantiu o primeiro posto no aberto, agora junto do amigo Rômulo Barral. Barral também fez bonito no meio-pesado, onde subiu no topo do pódio.</p>

<p>Competing for attention with the ballyhooed supermatch card at the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo this Saturday in California, the inaugural Spring Open, a tournament promoted by the IBJJF, brought its own fair share of excitement.

<p>Sousa swept the middleweight division alongside his Gracie Barra teammate Claudio Mattos, then doing the same in the open class in tandem with his buddy Rômulo Barral.
