Kid Peligro Jiu-Jitsu News . . Black Belt Saturday - A day of submissions surprises and controvesy
Submitted by: Kid Peligro
Posted On 07/30/2006
Saturday was the first day of the (besides the regular BJJ Worlds crowd) Black Belts competition in the Worlds. A star studded audience with great guests like Rickson Gracie, Wanderlei Silva, Ricardo arona, Paulo Filho witnessed a day with lots of submissions, surprises and controversy.
Submissions were taken care of by especially by Roger Gracie, Xande Ribeiro & Marcelo Garcia. Roger submitted all his opponents in the absolute divison while Xande submitted all but one of his and both will meet tomorrow in the finals. Garcia submitted everyone he faced until he met Roger in the semi's and was the victim of another one of Roger's chokes.
Upsets were courtesy of 'Cyborg' who submitted Braulio Estima (arm-lock) and then disposed of Demian Maia (points) in the quarter finals before succumbing to Xande in the semi's as well.

The controversy of the night involved Mike Fowler. During his match with former World Champion Daniel Moraes, Fowler caught Daniel in what looked like a final arm-lock only to have Moraes slam him for an apparent disqualification. The referee inexplicably did not do it and the fight went on to the finish with Moraes winning it by points. As the fight ended Fowler and coaches Lloyd Irvin and Leo Dalla vehemently protested to no avail, the referee had spoken, IBJJF President Carlos Gracie Jr went on to conccur with Lloyd's protest but again, buy statute the final word was the referee's and could not be changed.
I caught up with a disappointed Fowler shortly after the situation. Fowler stated:' I caught his arm, I heard it pop, then he slammed me but the fight continued. It is a bummer.' . . . Then suddenly the warrior spirit in him kicked in: 'Kid when is the next competition here? I am going to come back. I am going to come back here a lot! I am going to win here!' A warrior no doubt, nothing can stop him! He'll be back to Rio. He'll win his title!
Tomorrow the quarter's, semi's and the finals take place

'06 Worlds Purple Belt
Kron Gracie was the story of the day today, winning 6 matches against tough opponents, all by submission (chokes). In the end he had the World title with the corresponding gold medal and a new brown belt. As the last fight ended with a choke, uncle Royler (with his brother Rickson's approval) threw a brown belt on the mat and referee Muzio de Angelis tied it onto the new World Champion's waist in well deserved fashion. The kid won 11 matches in 8 days all by submission.

Kid conducted a short intereview with the new champ Kron after his incredible day. When asked about his performance Kron stated: 'I learn and train with my dad, he is the best in the World, that is what it is expected'. I then asked him: 'Even when you are behind on points you show unusual poise what do you attribute that to? Kron: 'I never measure winning by who gets ahead on points. I can't worry about that, I worry about who is the best in that fight and today I was the best in my division!'
No kidding! The great videographer Osvaldo 'Paqueta', who has been documenting BJJ fights since the early tournaments stated: 'When I saw Kron fight it was like watching his dad competing in earlier times, the same demeanor, the same calmness and the same desire to submit. And at the end of every fight he is very respectful. It is great to see that!'
Congratulations to Kron on a great performance. Sorry for the short report but it has been a very long day, it is very late and tomorrow the Black belts go at it

Now go train JJ

Kid Peligro Jiu-Jitsu News . . . More Blue Belt Action at the '06 Worlds
Submitted by: Kid Peligro / Sr Editor
Posted On 07/28/2006
Today it was another summer like day in Rio. It hasn't rained in over 20 days and the weather was sunny and 32@C with the beaches full of people playing and surfing. It is the end of their winter break and the weather brings everyone to the beach for the last grasp of vacation. Down at the Tijuca Tennis Club however the action was fast and furious as incredibly good Blue BElts were doing their thing. The level of the Blue belts improves everyyear, it is just amazing. Lots of high level sweeps and submissions.
Amongst the crowd many notables such as Royler Gracie, Lloyd Irvin, Marcelo Garcia, Roger Gracie, Leo Vieira, Rodrigo Comprido, Vitor 'Shaolin', Robert Drysdale, Felipe Costa, Demian Maia, Mike Fowler, Claudio Franca and a host of others including one Ronaldo Jacare enjoyed the action. Jacare told us: 'IT feels really weird to be here and not fight but my career is now geared towards other things.' Speaking of Jacare, his younger brother was tearing the mats with the same aggressive, moving style of his older brother. Other notable was a student of Donald Park (sorry didn't get your name) delivering precise arm-locks to unsuspecting opponents.
A conversation with Fowler revealed him very excited about competing in what is arguable the hardest divison in the Black Belts, with Garcia, Galvao, Nino, Fowler, Campos and younger Estima all in teh same division! Mike said'I can't wait!'
Tommorrow the action gets even hotter as Purple and Brown belts hit the mats.
More updates tomorrow
Now go train Jiu-Jitsu
