GB Online is excited to announce the outstanding performance of two of our instructors, Professors Alexandre Café and Lucas Norat, at the IBJJF Pan Ams held last weekend.

Professor Alexandre Café, a fifth-degree black belt, won the super-heavyweight division of the Master 3 category, securing his seventh gold medal at the prestigious tournament since 1998. This remarkable achievement is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the art and his ability to compete at the highest level.

Meanwhile, Professor Lucas Norat, a black belt, brought home a bronze medal in the heavyweight division of the Adult category, showcasing his hard work, talent, and skill in the sport.

Do you ever feel like you're not getting the most out of your Jiu-Jitsu training? It can be easy to get stuck in a rut and lose motivation. But don't worry – these three tips can help you stay focused, engaged, and excited about your Jiu-Jitsu journey:

1. Have clear goals. Setting specific, measurable objectives can help you stay on track and measure your progress over time. Maybe you want to compete in a tournament, or maybe you simply want to master a particular technique – whatever it is, write it down and keep it in mind during your training sessions.

2. Connect with your Gracie Barra community. One of the best things about Gracie Barra is the sense of camaraderie and support that comes with training with others. Whether it's your training partners, your instructor, or your fellow students, make an effort to connect with and learn from those around you. Not only will it make your training more fun, but it will also help you stay accountable and motivated.

3. Ask questions. Jiu-Jitsu is a complex and multifaceted sport, and there's always more to learn. Don't be afraid to ask your instructor or training partners for help when you're struggling with a technique or want to know more about a particular aspect of the sport. Asking questions shows that you're engaged and committed to improving, and it can help deepen your understanding and appreciation of Jiu-Jitsu.
