Copa Pódio champion Isaque Bahiense opens up about the ups and downs he experienced when left his old gym for a new one. He talks about the sacrifices surrounding his decision.

“Changing teams is always very hard, because we end up creating a relationship, and I think BJJ still has many closed-minded people who call others traitors. Our life is too short; we have to seize the opportunities that show up in our life. Everybody has their moment and situations. At 18 I had to have a talk with my teacher. I had been with him for 8 years; the dude was my father. My biological father went away, and he came in. I had to talk to the team directors. At the time, it was very difficult; 4 months passed until I was able to change teams. I talked to everybody. Some said, “Okay. If that is what is best for you, go; you have to think about your future.” But, unfortunately, when I felt, some people changed and closed themselves off to me”.

BJJ star Fernando Tererê has been through many trials in his life. But, to build a victorious career on the mats and overcome the traumas from his personal life, the world champion representative of Alliance needed, first and foremost, to steel his mind. In this video he says, next to his young fan Isaque Bahiense, what a BJJ black-belt’s mindset should be like.

“I believe we black-belts have to be always learning from our wins and defeats, not just in the ring, but also in our personal life, because it happens in your personal life too. In a family relationship or emotional stress. A black-belt must always be centered, with a samurai’s mind to deal with the situations in life. Always humble, seeking evolution, because evolution does not stop — even if you are a black-belt winning a tournament or another, evolution never stops. Evolution is forever, I think, and it’s constant reaction — not just in the gym training BJJ, but outside the gym too. And may they continue on this path, seeking to always bring pride to their team, their teachers and their family. “

Neste vídeo, eu ensino uma maneira que gosto de transpor a guarda-X. Repare bem no detalhe na hora de cruzar o joelho, pois é a arma principal contra o guandeiro. Lembre-se também de manter uma das pegadas na lapela do guandeiro, para evitar que ele balance você com facilidade. Espero que vocês gostem.

Mais videos estão a caminho.
