COPA PODIO! MATERIA DA GRACIEMAG.COM

Inspirado no encontro das águas do Amazonas, o próximo GP da Copa Podio de Jiu-Jitsu será dividido em dois grupos: Rio Negro (o grupo dos faixas-preta) e Solimões (o dos faixas-marrons).

Presidente da Copa Podio, Jeferson Mayca anunciou nesta terça, 1º de agosto, a divisão dos dez atletas selecionados para o Grand Prix dos Pesos Médios. O evento será no dia 12 de agosto, a partir das 18h, na Arena Amadeu Teixeira, Centro Oeste de Manaus.

No grupo Rio Solimões estão os marrons Fellipe Trovo (BRA), Ruben Caveira (Angola), Fellipe Andrew (BRA), Gustavo “Braguinha” (BRA) e Jonnatas Gracie (BRA). Já o grupo Rio Negro será formado pelos faixas-pretas DJ Jackson (EUA), Tommy Langaker (NOR), William Dias (AUS), Hugo Marques (BRA) e Kywan Gracie (BRA).

Os atletas vão lutar em sistema de rodízio, todos contra todos, dentro do seu grupo – cada vitória por finalização rende cinco pontos na tabela; vitória por pontos rende três pontos; vencer nas vantagens rende dois pontos; e o empate vale um ponto.

Os dois atletas com o maior número de pontos de cada grupo se classificam para as semifinais, sendo os critérios de desempate, por ordem de prioridade: confronto direto, quantidade de finalizações, saldo de pontos obtidos no placar em todos os combates e, em última instância, nova luta entre os atletas empatados.

Ingressos e como assistir

Os ingressos estão à venda no site oficial do evento www.copapodio.com, e variam de 50 a 120 reais, com direito a mesas de área vip. Para assistir pela internet, visite o site http://www.fighteria.tv/produtos/e garanta seu pacote.

FLOYD VS MCGREGOR. TATAME.COM.BR NEWS.

O esperado confronto entre Floyd Mayweather e Conor McGregor no Boxe está cada vez mais próximo de acontecer. No dia 26 de agosto, a cidade de Las Vegas, nos Estados Unidos, será sede do duelo, que promete parar o mundo das lutas. Além das provocações constantes entre os lutadores, o duelo também vai render muito dinheiro, tanto para o americano quanto para o irlandês. Prova disso é a empolgação de Floyd, um dos atletas mais bem pagos da história, para bater mais um recorde.

Em um vídeo divulgado recentemente pelo canal americano TMZ (veja abaixo), Floyd surge com uma mochila repleta de dinheiro, e logo depois, joga dólares sobre a mesa para, em seguida, afirmar que espera fazer, no mínimo, 300 milhões de dólares (cerca de R$ 1 bilhão) na luta contra McGregor.

“Eu posso fazer, em 36 minutos (12 rounds de três minutos cada), 300 (milhões de dólares) ou melhor ainda em 36 minutos. Estamos apenas sendo realistas. Como eu disse antes, não quero magoar ninguém, também não estou sofrendo. Longe de querer magoar alguém… Eles falam que Mayweather é isso e Mayweather é aquilo… Não estou magoando ninguém. Tenho os meus”, disse Mayweather, multicampeão e invicto no Boxe, que seguiu falando sobre seus feitos.

“Antes de nós falarmos de Floyd Mayweather e dizer: ‘Ele fez isso e ele fez aquilo’, e o que ele pode fazer ou não fazer. Quero dizer, eu sou o atleta mais bem pago no mundo? Sim, e estou voltando”.

Os 36 minutos citados por Mayweather no vídeo são a duração de uma luta de Boxe profissional (12 rounds de três minutos cada). A quantia de 300 milhões de dólares estipulada pelo lutador garantiria a Floyd pouco mais de 8 milhões de dólares por minuto. Sendo assim, convertendo para o real, algo em torno de R$ 26 milhões por minuto de luta. E aí, caro leitor, é ou não é muita grana?

COMING BACK!

Hi everyone!
I was away from the blog all this period because was facing some personal problems.
My dad and hero was sick then in last March he passed away.
Miss him a lot but never sad.
Rest in peace my dad, mentor and hero!
I am sure the heaven will be better with you around.
Until we meet again!

                                                                         Dad.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE JUDO AND WRESTLING TRAINING TO YOUR JIU-JITSU?

This is a good point to be discussed because nowadays a big number of academies still start their students sparring sessions on their knees.
I start my jiu-jitsu journey in January of 1991, on my first classes i learned how to fall properly and how to take somebody down, of course not all our sparring sessions start stand but at least twice a week(minimum) we start our sparring sessions standing.
I am guard player and became well know because of my closed guard (game developed by my master 7th degree red and black belt Fabricio Martins). After one of my fights against Leo "Negao"(Alliance) on Brazilian National as a purple belt in 1998, a fact happen that make me change my game. I was going inside the mat to this fight when i heard Fabio Gurgel shouting to his student to do not let me close the guard. Than i thought: "If Fabio Gurgel knows my game, i have to change." So on the next week i start my Judo classes with professor Chuno at UFF (Fluminense Federal University) in Niteroi-RJ and later on with professor Paulo Menezes. So i develop more my game on the top and start knew some different motions.
From 2000 till 2003, i trained some wrestling also. I compete once in a small tournament in my city, where i won the first mat and lost on the second one. Really great experience!
If i am not a reference to you, just see and read about Rolls Gracie train and lifestyle. He was the one who innovate these sports.
Training these sports, your jiu-jitsu game will be better and many points as pressure, not losing positions and improve your endurance and stamina.
Be ready and let's train!!!
