<p>A Professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (PBJJF) nasceu na costa leste e tem se expandido pelas mais diversas fronteiras do planeta Jiu-Jitsu. Com premiações em dinheiro e cinturões para os grandes campeões, a organização sonha alto, como confirma o organizador <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jpferreira_bjj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">João Paulo Ferreira, faixa-preta da Alliance</a> e campeão de Jiu-Jitsu. A Federação, fundada com o craque peso pesado Max Gimenis, busca ouvir os atletas e atender suas demandas.</p>
<p>Confira, a seguir, os melhores momentos de nossa conversa com JP Ferreira sobre os <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pbjjf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">próximos passos da PBJJF</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>GRACIEMAG:</em> O que a PBJJF pretende trazer de novo ao tabuleiro mundial do Jiu-Jitsu esportivo?</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>JP FERREIRA:</strong> </em>A sigla PBJJF significa Professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. Nossa Federação, assim, busca uma abordagem inovadora do Jiu-Jitsu esportivo, enfatizando o profissionalismo, a excelência técnica e a dinâmica competitiva.</p>
<p><strong>Uma das medidas nos eventos tem sido implementar punições mais rápidas e recorrentes a quem não se movimenta ou amarra. Tem dado certo?</strong></p>
<p>Definitivamente. Implementamos punições mais rigorosas juntamente com lutas mais curtas para a divisão de elite dos faixas-pretas. Isso tem tornado nossos eventos mais emocionantes e dinâmicos, aumentando o apelo para os competidores e espectadores. É o nosso objetivo, contribuir para a evolução do esporte.</p>
<p><strong>O berço da PBJJF é a costa leste dos Estados Unidos. Por que optaram por começar por lá?</strong></p>
<p>Escolhemos a região da capital dos Estados Unidos como berço da PBJJF devido ao crescimento do Jiu-Jitsu e à sua localização estratégica. A região perto de Washington e Nova York facilita bastante o acesso de competidores e fãs de todo o mundo.</p>
<p><strong>O que vem por aí? Vocês divulgaram eventos em breve até na Coreia do Sul.</strong></p>
<p>Estamos comprometidos com o crescimento global da nossa organização. Nossos próximos eventos incluem torneios internacionais na América do Norte, América do Sul, Ásia e Oceania, além do aguardado evento mundial no final deste ano de 2024.</p>
<p><strong>O que significa campeonatos mais profissionais para vocês?</strong></p>
<p>Para nós, profissionalismo na comunidade de atletas de Jiu-Jitsu significa um leque de valores, como respeito, ética e dedicação ao esporte. Encorajamos uma cultura de integridade e excelência em todas as interações dentro e fora do tatame.</p>

<p>Nosso GMI nos Estados Unidos, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/deividdias_bjj/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D">Deivid Dias</a> tem se destacado nas funções de atleta e criador de conteúdo nas redes sociais.</p>
<p>O faixa-marrom da equipe<a href="https://www.instagram.com/gfteamdc/"> GFTeam DC</a>, sediada na capital americana de Washington, exerce importante papel na formação de diversos alunos de sua equipe e divulga seu trabalho por meio das plataformas digitais. Deivid acredita no poder da comunicação verbal e não verbal para se conectar com o público de maneira eficaz e alcançar os objetivos.</p>
<p>Em bate-papo com o GRACIEMAG.com, Deivid contou por que começou a investir na carreira de influenciador digital, falou da necessidade do professor saber se comunicar com os alunos e compartilhou seus próximos objetivos no Jiu-Jitsu.<br />
<strong><br />
<em><strong>GRACIEMAG:</strong></em> Quais são os maiores desafios de ensinar Jiu-Jitsu no exterior?</strong></p>
<p><em>DEIVID DIAS:</em> Os maiores desafios são a comunicação e a adaptação. Mas digo a comunicação como um todo, não apenas as palavras e a língua inglesa. Nós, brasileiros, temos dificuldade em ensinar uma boa classe em português. Muitos de nós não estudamos e ensinamos da forma que nos foi passado. E o professor Albert Mehrabian concluiu em seu estudo que as palavras representam apenas 7% da comunicação. O tom de voz (38%) e a linguagem corporal (55%) exercem um papel muito mais importante do que a voz em si. Então a comunicação é fundamental para dar uma boa aula. Nos Estados Unidos, é primordial ser um bom professor e saber inglês. Não é suficiente ser um bom professor e não saber inglês ou vice-versa. Os dois caminham lado a lado. Quanto à adaptação, o professor pode ter dificuldade de sair da zona de conforto mesmo se falar a língua estrangeira e ensinar uma boa aula. É muito difícil para o cara conseguir abrir portas novas e se adaptar. São diversos fatores que influenciam: o clima, comida e até os próprios treinos, que são diferentes da sua academia de origem. É crucial que ele venha de cabeça aberta. É complicado, mas possível.</p>
<p><strong>Há quanto tempo você vive nos Estados Unidos? E o que mais sente falta do Brasil?</strong></p>
<p>Eu vivo nos Estados Unidos há 16 anos, sou casado com uma americana e tenho dois filhos americanos. E o que eu mais sinto falta são os brasileiros. Igual ao brasileiro não existe. Somos muitos quentes, unidos, próximos e isso não existe muito aqui. Os costumes também fazem falta: andar de chinelo na rua, sem camisa. Aqui isso não é tão frequente. Também sinto bastante falta dos familiares e dos grandes amigos, os locais e a comida. Você jamais vai encontrar um arroz e feijão tão bem-feito quanto no Brasil.</p>
<p><strong>Você produz bastante conteúdo nas redes sociais e divide as funções de atleta e influenciador digital. O que o motivou a começar a gravar vídeos de posições?</strong></p>
<p>Realmente, tenho produzido bastante conteúdo e foram os meus alunos que me pediram para eu começar a postar posições nas redes sociais. Eu mandava separadamente os vídeos no grupo. Já tínhamos bastante conteúdo e a galera começou a me incentivar porque outras pessoas também poderiam se beneficiar com as técnicas. Então começamos a postar e o público abraçou. Hoje o meu Instagram é uma loucura no bom sentido. É importante frisar que o Instagram é a minha segunda fonte de renda. É o futuro. Professores e atletas que tardarem a migrar para as redes sociais vão perder espaço com o tempo. O futuro será 100% digital. O Jiu-Jitsu já está bem digitalizado e a tendência é não parar de crescer. É preciso se estruturar. O futuro do Jiu-Jitsu será maravilhoso.</p>

<p><strong>Você tem se destacado bastante nos campeonatos. Qual foi sua maior vitória até aqui?</strong></p>
<p>Graças a Deus eu e meus atletas temos nos destacado no cenário competitivo. Venho de três títulos grandes consecutivos. Ganhei o American Nationals, Grand Slam, da AJP, e venci o Pan recentemente. Meu principal objetivo é o Mundial, que fiquei em terceiro no ano passado e vou buscar a vitória nesse ano. Gostaria de ressaltar o desempenho dos meus alunos. No Pan, conseguimos uma medalha de ouro, quatro de prata e três de bronze. Ajudamos a nossa equipe GF Team a trazer o título de juvenil e master para casa.</p>
<p><strong>Qual é o ponto mais forte do seu jogo?</strong></p>
<p>O ponto mais forte do meu jogo é a pegada. Tento sempre frustrar os adversários com a força da pegada. Meu jogo começa a partir de uma pegada de gorila. Percebo, sinto, que os meus oponentes têm muita dificuldade em desvencilhar a minha pegada e aproveito esse momento de distração para capitalizar algum golpe e sair com a vitória.<br />
<strong><br />
Quais são os valores por trás da sua equipe, a GFTeam DC? </strong></p>
<p>Nosso valor é agregar disciplina e confiança para ajudar os membros da nossa comunidade a melhorarem física e mentalmente através das práticas de Jiu-Jitsu e Defesa Pessoal. Conseguimos isso ao fornecer uma experiência amigável e profissional de Jiu-Jitsu e treinamento pessoal de alto nível que desafia nossos alunos mentalmente e fisicamente, tudo realizado em um ambiente seguro e limpo. Nosso principal objetivo é incentivar todos a tornarem hábitos de exercícios saudáveis ​​parte de nossas vidas.</p>

<p><strong>Quais são os seus próximos objetivos no Jiu-Jitsu?</strong></p>
<p>Tenho diversos objetivos e sonhos pela frente no Jiu-Jitsu. O meu primeiro é me tornar um grande mestre, não apenas um faixa-preta. Um exemplo dentro e fora do tatame para os meus alunos e atletas de outras equipes. Gostaria de ter algumas academias, formar campeões mundiais na faixa-preta. Quero ser uma referência digital para os mais jovens e para o pessoal que veio da Baixada Fluminense, assim como eu, que sou de São João de Meriti. Às vezes achamos que não vamos conseguir, temos aquela popular “síndrome do vira-lata”. A minha missão é mostrar que é possível ser um grande vencedor na vida ou até maior do que os nossos ídolos, com muito trabalho, amor e consistência.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a change of opponent for Brazil&#8217;s Virna Jandiroba at UFC Washington, which is set to take place on December 7th in the American capital. Graciemag has learned from sources close to the situation that Cortney Casey suffered an injury a few days ago. With the American fighter sidelined, the UFC has called upon a fellow Brazilian to challenge Virna. </p>
<p>Livinha Renata is her new opponent in this strawweight duel. The two were in talks to <a href="https://twitter.com/ZarthurJR/status/1156198918067236869" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">face each other at UFC São Paulo, on November 16th</a>. But Lívia had to bow out due to family problems. Now, for the December event, they have agreed to fight again and should be signing their contracts soon. </p>
<p>Virna (14w, 1l) came over from Invicta FC with the status of champion and had a perfect record until arriving in the UFC and being defeated by Carla Esparza in her debut, by unanimous decision, in April. Lívia (13w, 2l) was also a strawweight Invicta champion, in 2016. After signing with the UFC, Lívia won two fights and then was beaten by Brianna Van Buren in July, also by unanimous decision. </p>
<p>UFC Washington will be headlined by Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. Check out the card!</p>

<p>Ending last weekend in the American capital, the Washington Summer Open had multiple world champions fighting in the men&#8217;s brackets, but it was Tim Spriggs who stole the scene with a quick submission.</p>
<p>In the heavyweight division, Spriggs came across Grafton Skaggs. Without wasting any time, Spriggs pulled guard and swept. From the top, he bullfighted to pass; reached the side to score three points; passed to the opposite side with a knee on the belly, scoring two more; and right after that, sought the collar to choke. Unable to choke his opponent from the top, he pulled him to the classic bow-and-arrow position, from which the tightness proved too much for Skaggs.</p>
<p>Later the same day, Spriggs closed out the absolute with Mahamed Aly, making it a double-gold campaign. Below, check out the match and the complete results.</p>

<p>Encerra no último final de semana na capital dos EUA, o Washington Summer Open teve alguns campeões mundias nas suas chaves do masculino faixa-preta, mas foi Tim Spriggs que roubou a cena com uma finalização rápida.</p>
<p>Na disputa do peso pesado, Spriggs encarou Grafton Skaggs. Sem perder tempo, Spriggs puxou para a guarda e raspou. Por cima, assombrou Skaggs toureando para passar, chegou do lado pelos três pontos, passou para o lado oposto com o joelho na barriga para somar mais dois e, logo em seguida, buscou a gola para estrangular. Sem conseguir por cima, puxou o adversário para a clássica posição de arco e flecha, no qual o arrocho deixou inevitável os três tapinhas de Skaggs.</p>
<p>Mais tarde, no mesmo dia, Spriggs fechara o absoluto com Mahamed Aly para garantir ouro duplo na competição. Veja a luta e os resultados completos abaixo!</p>

<p>For one day this weekend, the capital of the U.S. and the capital of BJJ were one and the same. That&#8217;s because Prince George&#8217;s Sports &amp; Learning Complex in Hyattsville welcomed the Washington, DC Open.</p>
<p>By the end, Team Lloyd Irvin had dominated the competition, with, among other great results, Mahamed Aly and Tim Spriggs closing out the absolute division for the team.</p>
<p>In the ultra-heavyweight division, Mahamed was the favorite, but BJJ fans were hoping to watch ADCC champion Gordon Ryan, who had signed up to compete in the gi for the first time at a high level, but didn&#8217;t show up. So Mahamed had only one fight, beating Grafton Skaggs (Big Brother).</p>
<p>In the open division, Mahamed beat Thomas John (Soul Fighters) and Alexandre Molinaro (Carlson Gracie) to meet his teammate Tim Spriggs in the final. And so Mahamed and Spriggs, the latter of which had claimed the super-heavy title earlier, closed it out for TLI.</p>
<p>Cláudia do Val (De La Riva) had no opponents in her weight division or in the absolute, so she took double gold and some free points for the women&#8217;s IBJJF rankings.</p>

<p>A capital dos Estados Unidos se tornou, por um dia, a capital do Jiu-Jitsu. Isso porque o Complexo Prince George, em Hyattsville, recebeu grandes nomes da arte suave para o Whashington DC Open da IBJJF.</p>
<p>Para agitar o público presente, os competitivos faixas-pretas a divisão de adultos mais uma vez deram um show. Como destaques, Mahamed Aly e Tim Spriggs anotaram a dobradinha campeã para a equipe Lloyd Irvin.</p>
<p>No pesadíssimo, o brasileiro Mahamed era o grande nome da chave, e os fãs de Jiu-Jitsu tinham a esperança de ver em ação o americano Gordon Ryan, campeão do ADCC e arisco competidor sem kimono, que apesar de estar inscrito para atuar pela primeira vez em alto nível com o kimono, não apareceu para lutar. Com isso, Mahamed fez apenas uma luta no peso, e superou Grafton Skaggs (Big Brother).</p>
<p>Já no absoluto, Mahamed bateu Thomas John (Soul Fighters) e Alexandre Molinaro (Carlson Gracie), para encontrar na final o companheiro de equipe Tim Spriggs, que havia conquistado o ouro no super pesado mais cedo, e assim a dupla casca-grossa fechou para o time Lloyd Irvin.</p>
<p>No feminino, sem adversárias tanto no peso quanto no absoluto, Cláudia do Val (De La Riva) ficou com o ouro duplo e os valiosos pontos para o ranking feminino faixa-preta.</p>

<p class="p2">Last weekend the Washington, D.C. Open was held by the IBJJF, and Mahamed Aly walked out a double gold winner, having beaten the ultra-heavy and absolute fields.</p>
<p class="p3">The high point of Aly’s campaign was his semifinal match in the absolute. Before closing out the final with his teammate Tim Spriggs, Aly faced wrestler Gregory Walker, and something unusual happened.</p>
<p class="p3">Walker, who had defeated DJ Jackson in the middleweight final, threw himself into the open division. Against Aly, however, he had a tougher time. After getting taken down twice, the wrestler ended up finished via flying armbar. That was when things got weird.</p>
<p class="p3">&#8220;He took me down twice,&#8221; Aly told Graciemag. &#8220;But he didn&#8217;t keep me on the ground to score. I applied my two takedowns, earning points, put a knee on his belly, and managed to finish with the flying armbar. Except that, as I jumped, I wound up hitting my thigh to his nose. The doctor came to look at him, but the guy&#8217;s wife ran to the mat.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p3">&#8220;She tried to check on her husband,&#8221; Aly continued, &#8220;but was interrupted by the ref. She yelled that she was with him, and stared me down with wrath in her eyes. I got scared and thought, &#8216;Man, what do I do now? Run? Give her a flying armbar as well? Kneel and apologize?&#8217; I didn&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p3">&#8220;Afterwards she was outside and told me that wasn&#8217;t the end of it,&#8221; he added. &#8220;She was a little agitated. My teacher intervened and said I had no history of hurting my opponents on purpose. They talked it over, and things cooled down. But it was a good story to remember in the future.&#8221;</p>

<p>Rolou no último final de semana o Washington D.C. Open, na capital dos EUA. Para comandar a ação entre os faixa-pretas, Mahamed Aly vibrou após conquistar ouro duplo na competição, com o titulo pesadíssimo e também no absoluto.</p>
<p>Mas o ponto alto da atuação foi na semifinal do aberto. Antes de chegar ao pódio e fechar com o companheiro de equipe Tim Spriggs, Mahamed encarou Gregory Walker na semifinal, e um lance curioso chamou a atenção do faixa-preta da Llyod Irvin.</p>
<p>Gregory, que havia batido DJ Jackson, também da equipe Lloyd Irvin, na final do peso médio, se jogou com tudo no absoluto. Contra Mahamed, o wrestler teve mais trabalho. Após receber duas quedas, acabou finalizado num armlock voador, e a história começa.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ele me derrubou duas vezes&#8221;, explicou Mahamed em papo com GRACIEMAG. &#8220;Mas não me manteve no solo para pontuar. Eu apliquei minhas duas quedas, com pontos, botei o joelho na barriga e consegui finalizar no armlock voador. Só que, ao pular, acabei batendo a coxa no nariz dele. O médico veio atender mas a esposa do cara veio correndo até o tatame.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ela tentou checar o marido mas foi interrompida pelo árbitro. Ela bradou que estava com ele e me encarou com fúria nos olhos. Eu me assustei e pensei: &#8216;Cara, o que eu faço agora? Corro? Dou um armlock voador nela também? Ajoelho e peço desculpas?&#8217;, eu não sabia.</p>
<p>&#8220;Depois ela estava lá fora e disse que não ia ficar assim. Estava meio alterada. Meu professor intercedeu e disse que eu não tinha antecedentes de machucar meus adversários de forma proposital, eles conversaram e os ânimos se acalmaram. Mas foi uma história boa para lembrar no futuro.&#8221;</p>
<p>Veja abaixo o vídeo com o lance e os detalhes do ocorrido no DC Open!</p>

<p>On Saturday, Dec. 6 Renato Tavares traveled to his affiliate academy Triton Fight Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for his yearly seminar.</p>
<p>The event gathered a whopping 130 students together. Seventeen of them were black belts including Triton Fight Center head instructor Piet Wilhelm, Renato Tavares himself, James Foster of GMA Foster BJJ in Seattle, WA, Mike Budnik, Gina Franssen and others. During the seminar Renato taught various back-takes.</p>
<p>Along with the seminar came the belt ceremony. In all, there were over twenty promotions for those who were deserving of new belt ranks.</p>
<p>As part of the twenty, three special promotions came in the form of black belts to Reed Haji, Tim Holman and Omar French.</p>
<p>Omar was amazed and although super cool he says it was also super scary. &#8220;It was amazing! Not so much for getting the rank but because your instructors trust you to represent them. It was insane amazing.&#8221;</p>
