BJJ ROCKS:
BJJ rocks at Rio de Janeiro
By Samira Bonfim and Bernardo Seabra
Surprises happened at Tijuca Tennis Club, in Rio de Janeiro during the Brazilian Championship by Teams on last November 25th. Last year the Nova Geração team and Gracie Barra BH were the great names of the competition, but at this time Gracie Barra dominated the light ones and Brasa was the big name of the heavy ones.
Brasa & Gracie Barra: the heavy duel
In the semifinal, the Brasa team got Igor Silva, André Galvão and Rodrigo Comprido, guaranteeing the team in the final with Gracie Barra, that defeated Brazilian Company by 3x1, with victories of Antonio Braga, Paulo Nogueira and Macio Pé-de-Pano.
The so waited final was decided in four bouts. In the first one, Alexandre Dantas lost to Robert Drysdale by 2x1, by advantages and Antonio Braga drew to Barra submitting Igor Silva by choke at 8:12. In the best bout of the event, André Galvão defeated Márcio Pé-de-Pano by 4x1 by advantages and Theodoro Prata closed the victory defeating Paulo Nogueira by 8x0.
Brasa dominates the light category
Beyond making the final of the heavy category, the Gracie Barra team didn’t have adversaries in the light category and got no defeats. The first victim was the team Empório da Luta/ Nova Geração, that declassified the Infight team in the previous stage. The Gracie Barra won by 3x0, with victories of João Rangel, Leonardo Leite and Celso Vinicius.
The first bout of the final was between João Rangel and Wallace Castro, and the athlete from Gracie Barra won by 5x0. After that, Rodrigo Magalhães defeated Denilson Pimenta by only 2 advantages. In the last bout, Leonardo Leite, Gracie Barra brown belt of only 21 years old, repeated the good performance of the semifinal and won Teodoro Canal by 2 x 0. In the end of the fight, the team mate of Leonardo, Celso Vinícius, didn’t like that the Brasa team didn’t have any athlete in the category light. “I wasn’t training, I wasn’t even fight at this Championship, I decided to fight when I knew that the Brasa athletes were going to fight, but nobody showed up”, said him.
BLACK HOUSE:
Black House “open house” at Rio
The inauguration of the new MMA team from , the Black House, was held on last Monday at Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in Rio de Janeiro . The small party took place at the huge Training Center (900 m2) between a octagon, one ring and two dojos close to a gym space of 1000m2. “Our training structure is the biggest one of the world”, said the technician director of the team Carlão Barreto, one of the owners of the project with Jorge Guimarães (entrepreneur of the athletes) and Rogério Camões (responsible by the physical preparation of the athletes). Beyond some TV actors, some of the biggest names of fighting in Brazil were there, as like Minotauro e Minotouro, Vítor Belfort, Pezão, Drago, Jucão, Buscapé, Roberto Roleta, Paquetá; the trainers Luís Alves, Paulo Nikolai, Sérgio Cunha e Paulo Nikolai and the entrepreneurs Walmir Barroso (NO GI) e Eddie (Sinister), who came from United States specially to watch the inauguration.
According to Barreto, the Black House is not just a MMA team, but will be also a fight academy that since December 4th will be having some classes of BJJ (with Roleta, Nigue and Sérgio Babu), Savate (with Richard), Submission (with Milton Vieira), Boxing (with Wagner Coelho, Fábio Coelho and Cesário) and Wrestling (Gilberto Arbués). About the MMA team, Barreto said that the names are still being defined. “We already have Sérgio Babú (submission) e Gilberto Arbués (Wrestling) as trainers and soon we will define the Muay Thai and Boxing ones. And as fighters we already have Vítor Belfort, Anderson Silva is already negotiating, Marcelo Bocão and great new talents as Daniel Lustrol, Fabrício Carledi, Edson Paredão and Boi, all of them from Campinas”, said Carlão.
Carlão said that the famous night MMA trainings that used to put together people from other teams as Minotauro, Babalu, Minotouro, Pezão and Draggo, won’t happen again. “Minotauro, Minotouro and all the athletes who train here from the night are great friends of mine, but business is business and with the Black House I must be professional, so it is sad to say that these athletes won’t be able to come here to train anymore. Our MMA team trainings will be held everyday from 10am to midday”, concluded Barreto.

Divided into several parts, it will give the reader the opportunity to remember great moments, amazing fighters and also have a better view of the development of the sport over the last 10 years. Enjoy.
Making history
The tale of the first-ever black-belt Jiu-Jitsu world champions
The warm-up area has a few athletes in it. On the mat, Ricardo Liborio gives his opponent, Remco Pardoel, the evil eye, who gives it right back. Short and stocky, the one considered, at the time, by master Carlson Gracie to be his best fighter looked even smaller with his knees bent. The posture helped avoid the Dutchman's takedowns. Tijuca Tenis Clube is hot during the summer in Rio. Close to four thousand people on the bleachers stand in applause as“Liba” wraps his legs around his opponent’s waist and moves them all the way up till he traps Pardoel’s left arm. It’s another Brazilian victory. One more.
The first World Jiu-Jitsu Championship was held on the first weekend of February 1996, in Rio. Fighters from nine countries were present: Brazil, USA, France, Japan, Holland, Switzerland, UAE, Italy and Cuba.

X-MISSION END:
Couture Draws with “Jacare” and Garcia Wins Again
November 18, 2006by Josh Gross (Photos by Dave Mandel) (joshg@sherdog.com)CULVER CITY, Calif. Nov. 17 — Randy Couture may have hung up his four-ounce fingerless gloves, but the lifelong wrestler will always find a way to sow his competitive oats.
“I’m going to grapple until I can’t walk,” the American mixed martial arts legend said after his Professional Submission League debut Friday against two-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza Dos Santos. “I love to wrestle. I love the training and the competition.” Stepping into a competitive arena for the first time since leaving MMA, the only man to hold UFC titles in separate weight divisions went to a scoreless draw with “Jacare” in front of roughly 1,000 submission-grappling fans at the Veterans Memorial Hall. With the familiar face of “Big” John McCarthy officiating the action, Couture quickly looked comfortable on the large, white square mat that served as home for the evening’s eight matches. Though he was quite a bit larger than “Jacare,” Couture, who said he was sick leading up to the match but refused to back out, could not muscle the slick jiu-jitsu man to the floor. Instead, the two circled and exchanged failed takedowns. When action did move to the ground, “Jacare” flirted with Kimuras, armbars and triangles, but it wasn’t anything the veteran Couture hadn’t seen before. Without a takedown, position improvement or near catch in the opening round, the score was tied 0-0 after one, though Santos’ cornerman Wallid Ismail loudly suggested to officials that his man should have received something for his efforts. Couture was slippery with sweat and the Brazilian’s early explosiveness had dissipated as the bout moved into the second of two four-minute periods — the same round format for each bout on the card. Ismail, now pounding on the canvas as he screamed for “Jacare” to attack, saw his man do little on the scoreboard, despite a solid bit of grappling on the bottom. Tied at 0-0 after eight minutes, PSL rules mandated overtime in the form of two 60-second rounds. Neither man attacked in the first overtime period, and though they engaged in the final frame, neither landed an advantage, which forced a shrug-inducing draw from Couture. “He’s a great competitor,” Couture said of Santos. “Very slick. Very quick. [I was] basically surviving.” “It’s not a precursor to fighting or coming back,” he said when asked if this was the first step to an MMA comeback. “I’ve said all along under the right circumstance maybe I’d come back, but that hasn’t presented itself. No plans.”
Like “The Natural,” Marcelo Garcia has earned a reputation among fans as a man that simply cannot do any wrong. The shifty submission expert did nothing to diminish that reputation during a rather easy victory over respected grappler and mixed martial artist Jake Shields . Garcia, an Abu Dhabi and Mundial world champion, opened the scoring by putting Shields to the canvas with a single-leg takedown. The two deliberately rolled before Garcia locked onto Shield’s neck. In an effort to alleviate the pressure, Shields fell to his back. Garcia adeptly secured top position and cranked, to which Shields tapped out with 22 seconds remaining in the opening round.
Vladimir Matyushenko and Vinicius Magalhaes earned the night’s first boos — and the only warning from officials — in the opening round of their heavyweight clash. After a lackluster four minutes, Matyushenko managed the bout’s lone point with a controlled single-leg takedown. Magalhaes could not pull Matyushenko into his guard or return to his feet and the bout ended with the 1-0 tally.
King of the Cage veterans took to the mat when Alberto Crane met Joe Camacho . Crane, who appeared to be the much larger competitor, mounted a game Camacho in the first period before adding three points for a catch on an anaconda choke. In the second, Crane again landed a point for taking mount. He transitioned to armbar and secured Camacho’s left arm for the tapout victory.
With Rickson Gracie in his corner, Kron Gracie scored a shutout against Andy Wang. Gracie opened the scoring with a beautiful inside trip takedown. Despite protests from Wang, Kron scored three more points for an attempted Achilles lock. The second period slowed to a crawl, and with four points in his pocket Gracie simply needed to defend positions to win.
Rafael Luvato Jr. dominated on points to defeat Roberto Camarago 7-0. Luvato Jr. put Camarago down with a single-leg takedown to take an early lead. He added three points to close out the first round by jumping into guard for a guillotine choke. In the second frame a nice transition to armbar netted Luvato Jr. an additional three points, closing out the most lopsided win of the night.
Jeff Glover earned a 3-0 decision over Shane Rice . Glover’s catch came as he transitioned into a kneebar during the opening period. The two exchanged interesting positions in the final four minutes, but Rice mustered little offense.
Mac Danzig took a 6-0 lead before catching Alan Zborovsky in a north-south choke. A near Kimura put the King of the Cage lightweight champion up, and he followed with another catch before finishing with the choke.
