Chidi wins by knockout!

Congratulations goes out to Sergio Penha BJJ fighter Chidi Njokuani for his 52 second KO victory against Chris Kennedy at MMA Xplosion last night. Once Chris felt Chidi's power, he immediately tried to take the fight to the ground, but was unsuccessful because of Chidi's much improved sprawl. Chidi relentlessly pounded a turtled Kenndy with hammerfists until Kennedy was unconscious and referee Steve Mazzagatti was forced to stop the fight.

Fabricio Team 7-26-10

I have to apologize first of all for not updating the blog as much i told you guys i would, but life here is somewhat hectic. Yesterday was one of the hardest practices i had here, i returned to the Fabricio Team, to try out their night class (i heard it was pretty intense). There were in total 7 students, 4 black belts (one being a world and brazilian champion) 1 brown, 1 purple and 1 blue. Fabricio the head instructor is friends with my dad, and said my dad taught him alot along with Oswaldo.
The gym only allows 2 partners to train at once, and barely train b/c you need to constantly stop to return to the center. Altough i felt i was moving slower then usual, i did pretty well only tapped once to one of teh black belts, and trained pretty well with the rest, i passed the guard from all of them. Something i found interesting in the gym is that many of the students were smaller guys around 130lbs-160lbs and they all more very well making it very hard for someone like me to dominate them.

Unfortunetly i am unable to upload the pictures i have taken, Shay took the adapter of the camera with her. AND IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING IN SPECIFIC GYM OR PLACE IN BRAZIL LET ME KNOW.

SEE YOU GUYS SOON,
RAFAEL PENHA

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Stephan wins big!

BRAZIL, BRAZIL

For obvious reasons i havent been updating the website as much as i should be, also i have not been able to go to gyms as much as i would like since Brazil completely shuts down during the world cup, jiu jitsu gyms shut down too. SInce Brazil was eliminated today gyms will be open everyday now.
I have been in Brazil for 10 days and was only able to train 4 times at Carlson Gracie Ari Galos, school, at Oswaldos and at Equipe Fabricio. TRaining is definitely different in Brazil, maybe next week i will have some Oswaldo positions to show you guys and maybe an interview with the legend himself.

Brazil Traning Session

I arrived in Brazil on Friday as you all known, and have enjoyed my time here so far, one day played some volleyball, and on the other i did what brazilians are best at...absolutely nothing. Today on Tuesday June 22nd i had my first encounter with Jiu Jitsu so far. I went to Saporito/Ari Galo' School, they are a part of the Carlson Gracie team. Unfortunately there werent ant black belts there, it was a small class of about 10 students 2 brwon 2 purple 3 blue and 3 white. We warmed up for about 5 minutes and stretched for another 5 then we did escape from the back, halfguard, side control and mount, to finally roll. It seemed like today was an easy day at the gym since we only rolled for two 6 minute rounds. I rolled with a purple and the highest brown belt. I believe i represented SP BJJ well since i didnt tap, wasnt swept, and passed both of their guards 3 times each ( i dont think the brown belt was going full out on me, he started easy, and when he saw i was going for blood he started fighting hard). Next POst i should have pictures and hopefully videos to post for you guys. keep checking the website because i will post RETRO PICTURES of SERGIO with HAIR, and BABY PICTURES
