am I sick for laughing at this?

Daryell Dickson Meneses Xavier, described in local news as a jiu-jitsu instructor and a documented competitor for Gracie Barra in Brazil, is facing charges for abusing and killing his one year old stepson. If that weren't disturbing enough, there is also possible sexual abuse involved.

A report in Globo states that the boy was left alone with Xavier and, just one hour later, Xavier called the mother to inform her that the boy fell and was having seizures.

Globo has more (translated using Google Translate):

The child was hospitalized on September 27 in Anchieta Hospital, Wansbeck, and died two days later. Doctors had been informed that the victim had been dropped. Servers from the facility, however, triggered after police find that the injuries were not consistent with a fall.

"The action was blunt trauma to the force applied was very large. Only a person with great poise and knowledge of techniques, as the stepfather, who was jiu-jitsu, to know, "said the delegate from the 38th Precinct Tania Soares. "The child also had a fissure in the anus, it is unclear whether from sexual abuse, since constipation also gives fissure."

while in prison

"Daryell was raped by about 20 prisoners. He had injuries all over the body, the most serious ones in the anal region. Insatisfied, and still furious about the crime committed by the professor, the prisoners tore apart the stitches that he received and raped him again. The blood stains on the rear of the short of the young man are proof of how much he suffered."

Yep, you are.

Do we even know for sure that he actually killed the kid?

[chino3]

If he is 100% guilty, still sick for laughing? killing and raping a 1 year old, and then getting some pretty commensurate karma?

If his story is true, and the kid was DROPPED (oh and the anal fissures were from something like constipation), then yeah that would be horrific...

I'll just leave this here....

[badreligion]

Sparring tonight looking forward to that , First before is Krav Maga .

[MiddleNose]

Hopefully I'll be training at Marcelo Garcia's for a couple months this summer, question - would you guys consider it douchey/showy if I bought an MG gi while I was there (I'll need an extra gi to help with the washing load) and wore it back home(Europe)?

is your home gym an affiliate of MG or Alliance? If not, then it's a waste to buy, because you can't wear it back home... Just get a new gi anywhere...

Pepper your angus.

I lost 4 matches in a row my first tournament lol. Dat feel when you lose your first match by two advantages to a guy who ends up winning your weight division.

Relax. I gassed horribly in my first competition because I got excited.

[jfcundiff]

Trained no-gi for nearly two years. Switched to a new school a few months ago and started gi. So many new things you have to watch out when the gi is involved. Its a fun, new challenge learning with the gi now.

1. Does anyone here wear knee pads while grappling? If so, what kind do you like?

2. What do you guys do for recovery after a hard day of grappling?

[Kirra]

It depends. Did you get tapped by a white belt? If no, you just do your regular stuffs, if yes, you stay in bed and cry.

2. What do you guys do for recovery after a hard day of grappling?

keep in mind that external support (knee pads in your case) can strengthen muscular imbalances you have. your body will become reliant on them and begin to use different muscles when you're rolling. what can end up happening is these muscles stop getting worked and other muscles can be overworked, increasing your chance of injury.

i'd say only use knee braces if you absolutely need them. look for a way to fix the problem itself. it's exactly like when someone takes drugs for a medical condition, insomnia for example. the drug becomes a crutch and hampers (atrophies) the person's ability to sleep. so once this person tries to take the drug out of the picture, they find their insomnia has become worse.

this is my opinion, not a fact. you do what you think is right, i'm just offering a perspective on the issue

Sup fellow BJJ brahs. Training is going a lot better than I was expecting. Weigh ins for the tournament are tomorrow night. Any tips on my first tourney?

consider it a learning experience and get as much as you can out of it. pretend you're preparing for the next tournament


i'd tell you to relax but chances are even the greatest relaxation techniques go out the window once you step on the mat at your first tournament. competing at tournaments is a skill just like JJ, you'll get better and more confident the more you do

Hey guys and gals

Here is the link to my Hookit profile: http://www.hookit.com/members/jacobsbjj/ I'd really appreciate it if some of you would take the time to click the link and follow me (note: it says I compete as a Mixed Martial Artist, which I do NOT, i chose this category simply because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not yet available for selection, and it was the next best thing) THANKS GUYS! KEEP ROLLING! AND BJJ4LIFE!

what belt/division etc?

may the force be with you bro.

[GetBigyo]

My college has a BJJ club taught by a world class 3rd degree black belt. It's only $50 for the whole semester with classes 3x week. I box usually 4x week so i'll probably only do it 2x, but I really want to try BJJ. I'm just worried with my lower left back as I suffered a hip/lower back contusion on my left side in September and it still stings if I touch it hard. I likely have some sort of nerve damage.

Phuck guise. Got back from the tourney. First round was perfect, ended in just over a minute. Then the last two rounds my arms and legs felt like jello the whole time. Lost both by decision.

Don't worry too much bro, just use it as a learning experience.
