I believe that specific training is the best way to really understand how techniques should be applied into sparring. During specific training you learn the opponents reaction and intentions for the moves and improve your vision on how to improvise and escape.

In this video I am training with my student Gustavo (green belt) and we are both doing specific training. His goal is to connect the berimbolo as much as possible during our 4min round and my goal is to respond to his attacks with different opportunities to escape.

The older I get the more I appreciate character over talent. I admire hard work and the ability to overcome like nothing else in this sport. John is a hard worker, the kind of athlete that every coach likes to have, the one that does more than is required to do. Throwing that belt to you today after you won brown belt worlds with 0 points scored against you and submitting 5 of your 6 matches in under 2 minutes made me think about the shy 16 year old stepping on AOJ mats for the first time. I look now and all I see is how much you have improved on and off the mat. You are ready to start your journey in the black belt John. Chase your dreams, fall down and get back up stronger every time, because every champion faces defeat, but only the real ones use it to light the fire inside of us. never let anyone put limits on what you can do, cant wait to see what the future holds for us. You were untouchable today.

Quanto mais velho eu fico, mais aprecio o caráter ao invés do talento. Admiro o trabalho duro e a capacidade de superaçao mais do que qualquer coisa neste esporte. John é um trabalhador nato, o tipo de atleta que todo treinador gosta de ter, aquele que faz mais do que o necessário. Jogar essa faixa para você hoje, depois de assistir voce ganhar o mundial na marrom com 0 pontos marcados contra você e finalizando 5 das suas 6 lutas em menos de 2 minutos, me fez pensar no tímido juvenil de 16 anos pisando na AOJ pela primeira vez. Eu olho agora e tudo que vejo é o quanto você melhorou dentro e fora do tatame. Você está pronto para começar sua jornada no faixa-preta John. Persiga seus sonhos, caia e volte mais forte a cada vez, porque todo campeão enfrenta a derrota, mas apenas os verdadeiros a usam para acender esta chama dentro de nós. Nunca deixe ninguém colocar limites no que você pode fazer. Eu mal posso esperar para ver o que o futuro nos reserva. Você foi intocável hoje.
