Congrats Junior!!
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Edson won KO of the Night and Fight of the Night! Talk about making a guys day. He was awesome in the cage Saturday night and the game plan went as planned. He felt strong, confident and he had a chance to finally show off some of his BJJ sweeps with the takedowns that Terry Etim hit. Terry’s wrestling and takedowns were pretty darn good. Edson spectacularly ended the fight with a around the house style wheel kick! The fight will likely go down in UFC history and be shown on nearly every highlight reel in the future!
Here are some behind the scene pics of Edson and the Team… Also check in with http://www.JiuJituMania.com for more behind the scenes footage!

" – Barboza and Njokuani show the brutal beauty of Muay Thai
It says something about Anthony Njokuani’s character that after watching Edson Barboza finish Mike Lullo with leg kicks that he would step up to the plate and offer himself up for the same type of punishment. But hey, that’s what a real Muay Thai fighter would do against one of his peers, and his willingness to do so at UFC 128 in March led to one of the purest displays of the Art of Eight Limbs that you will ever see in the Octagon. For striking aficionados, this bout, won by Barboza via close, but unanimous, decision, was gold. WATCH FIGHT REPLAY

Tatama: Buchecha: “I hope the keep the good flow”

Buchecha: “I hope the keep the good flow”
Sunday 24th of October 2010
Outstanding fighter on the gentle art, after a year with a brown belt on his waist and the title of all championships he disputed, the super heavy Marcus “Buchecha” got the black belt by the hands of his Master Rodrigo Cavaca on the podium of World, after becoming a Jiu-Jitsu champion on the categories absolute and super heavy. And now, with only five months of black belt, the young guy of 20 years old has been conquering many important titles and making his name a huge one on the sport.
Still on the brown belt, the tough guy has a large résumé with titles of Pan Am, World Cup of WLPJJ, World No Gi in 2009, on the weight and absolute disputes, among others. As a black-belt, his greatest achievement so far is the Pan Am No GI in NYC, winning the weight and closing the absolute’s finale with Pablo Popovitch. Current living in Florida for almost five months, along with his training partner Thiago Baiano and his Master Rodrigo Cavaca, Buchecha refines his trainings to reach his professional goals.
“I’ve always trained with Cavaca and we are from Checkmat, and now we’re doing a work together with team Armony. I’m living on the United States, and I came to Florida, where I have nothing to complain about. I was nicely welcome in my new home, Armony Checkmat, and by the owner of the team, Joe Mullings, besides the fighters they have here, Edson Junior and Eduardo Guedes, apart from the ones I live with and are my friends like Raphael Chaves, Thiago Baiano and my Master Rodrigo Cavaca. Here on the United States we’re like family”, said, explaining why he moved to America. “I’ve changed because it was something I’ve always wanted, I wanted to teach here in America and live for Jiu-Jitsu, because in Brazil only the athletes themselves know how hard it is to live that way there. It was an opportunity that Cavaca and Joe have given me, and I can only thank them and make it worth”, tells the athlete.
Crawling as a black-belt, the fighter tells what his main goals are from now on. “Actually I’ve reached a few, the first was to get the black belt and the second was to teach here on the United States, now I hope I can keep the good flow I’m having on the competitions and repeat on the black belt the same conquest of the previous belts. We already are training hard here on Armony for Miami Open, in October 23. Our main goal is, for sure, World No Gi, in November 7. We’re training very hard. Cavaca is leading the trainings and pushing us a lot, and we’re doing the conditioning training with Jow, and now on this final phase we’ll intensify the trainings even more”, explains.
But the tough guy won’t stop that easily, and reveals he intends to join MMA world. “I have a wish to fight MMA, I already am training boxing with Ouali, but there’s no hush, because it’s something for the future. First of all I want to reach my goals as a black-belt and later I think it’d be a good time to make my debut”, reveals, sending his message:
“I’d like to thank to God in first place, and all who’ve helped me all the way, always giving me support to fight on the leagues, signing raffles or helping me on the trainings; to Joe Mullings, Thiago Baiano and Rafael Chaves, who’ve always been there for me, and my Master Cavaca, who has believed me on the very beginning and gave me this opportunity. I couldn’t forget Sr. Clayton and Lady Bete. If it wasn’t because of my parents supporting me on the sport, I wouldn’t be here today”, concluded Buchecha.

Crawling as a black-belt, the fighter tells what his main goals are from now on. “Actually I’ve reached a few, the first was to get the black belt and the second was to teach here on the United States, now I hope I can keep the good flow I’m having on the competitions and repeat on the black belt the same conquest of the previous belts. We already are training hard here on Armony for Miami Open, in October 23. Our main goal is, for sure, World No Gi, in November 7. We’re training very hard. Cavaca is leading the trainings and pushing us a lot, and we’re doing the conditioning training with Jow, and now on this final phase we’ll intensify the trainings even more”, explains.
But the tough guy won’t stop that easily, and reveals he intends to join MMA world. “I have a wish to fight MMA, I already am training boxing with Ouali, but there’s no hush, because it’s something for the future. First of all I want to reach my goals as a black-belt and later I think it’d be a good time to make my debut”, reveals, sending his message:
“I’d like to thank to God in first place, and all who’ve helped me all the way, always giving me support to fight on the leagues, signing raffles or helping me on the trainings; to Joe Mullings, Thiago Baiano and Rafael Chaves, who’ve always been there for me, and my Master Cavaca, who has believed me on the very beginning and gave me this opportunity. I couldn’t forget Sr. Clayton and Lady Bete. If it wasn’t because of my parents supporting me on the sport, I wouldn’t be here today”, concluded Buchecha.

Last weekend Copa America 2010 in Lakeland, Florida (USA) students of world champion Rodrigo Cavaca did well.
Present at the competition Marcus Almeida, "Buchecha" and Thiago Abreu "Baiano". Athletes from Team Checkmate Amory won both absolute and non kimono, worth $ 1,000 each, having closed with Vagner Rocha and Pablo Popovitch.
Many athletes competed primarily in search of prizes and there were big name fights. Among them, "Buchechas" victory over Daniel Moraes, with a Mata Leon when the score was already 11-0 in the semis of the absolute no-gi.
Now students from Team Armory / Cavaca, without rest, train hard for the Miami Open, which takes place on October 23, and then the World No-Gi, on November 7, Long Beach.

Among No-Gi Worlds favorites, Bochecha comments on Pan campaign

Among No-Gi Worlds favorites, Bochecha comments on Pan campaign
by Carlos Eduardo Ozório — October 5, 2010.
Winner of his weight and the open weight groups as a brown belt at this year’s Worlds, Marcus “Bochecha” Almeida has begun taking his first steps as a black belt, and successfully. The competitor was one of the standouts at last weekend’s No-Gi Pan in New York. After winning at superheavyweight, Bochecha shut out the absolute with friend Pablo Popovitch. Now, the Rodrigo Cavaca student hopes to put in a good performance at the No-Gi Worlds and the 2011 World Championship, where he may butt heads with Roger Gracie.
Tell us about your campaign at the Pan…
First I won at superheavyweight. The first match I won by WO and went straight through to the final against Bruno Bastos. That was an extremely tough final, which I won by two advantage points. In the absolute I won my first match by triangle submission and in the semifinal, again against Bruno Bastos, I defended a single-leg and managed to sink a triangle for the finish.
Why didn’t you and Pablo face off in the absolute final?
Ever since I arrived here in the United States, we’ve been training together. We trained hard for this Pan, and that’s why we opted not to do the final.
What are your hopes for next year? Do you think you’ll manage good results at the Worlds as a black belt, is that your aim?
I always expect the best. I hope to maintain my rhythm in competition and keep getting good results, since that’s what I’m training to do. Training here is really tough, and soon the gang from Brazil will be here to help out. Next year I’ll be in all the main competitions on the IBJJF calendar. For sure I’m going to fight for the title in my weight division and the absolute.

What would it be like to face Roger Gracie or the other top guys?
I feel it would a great challenge to face the world number-1. But beyond him, as you yourself say, there are a lot of other top guys. What’s for certain, though, is that in all my matches I go in with the same objective: to be champion.
This Pan was like my debut black belt”, Bochecha
Will you compete at the No-Gi Worlds or any other competitions in 2010?
Yes, for sure I’ll compete. Indeed, this Pan was like my debut at black belt. I competed at some smaller competitions in Florida, but this was my first big event. Thank God I debuted on the right foot! Now my focus is on the Miami Open and No-Gi Worlds. We’re already hard at training for those competitions.
What’s life in the USA like? Have you already gotten used to the pace there?
Life here is great; I’m really enjoying it. The weather here (Florida) is really similar to in Santos, and I live in a city with a beach, which is even better (laughs)! I’m teaching here and I was really well received at my new home, The Armory CheckMat. The owner of the team Joe Mullings and the other fighters, like Eduardo Guedes and Edson Junior, treat me well. I’m living with my friends Raphael Chaves and Thiago Baiano and my master Rodrigo Cavaca. Or in other words, there’s no way for the level of training to drop!
Is there anything else you’d like to say?
Well, I’d like to thank Cavaca and Joe for the opportunity to be here, making my dream come true; and my father Mr. Clayton and my mother Mrs. Bete (laughs)! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here today. And to thank Bulldog kimonos and, of course, GRACIEMAG.com for the opportunity.
Thanks!

New Monday & Wednesday Class Coming to Wellington!
Friday, September 03, 2010
New Classes on Monday and Wednesday Nights from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
Starting September 13th
Striking / Grappling for MMA
This class will be a blend of boxing, kickboxing and submission grappling with an MMA focus. The class will be broken down into striking for 1/2 the class and grappling with striking opportunities for half the class. If you have no interest in grappling or have no interest in striking, students can spend the entire hour just working in the area they want instruction in. Otherwise, students will rotate 1/2 the class in striking and half in grappling. Buchecha and Thiago will be teaching the submission grappling and RJ Goodridge will be teaching the striking. Eduardo Guedes will be here as well to oversee the program.
This class will have light contact if any, as in MMA the gloves are smaller, there is no headgear, so safety is of utmost importance. Mouth pieces are strongly recommended for this class.

Another great article on Guedes in Tatame!
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Check out this great article in Tatame - http://www.tatame.com.br/2010/08/25/Brasileiro-afiado-para-a-estreia-no-Bellator
Everyone knows that Brazil is a hotbed of big names in MMA, but many Brazilians still need to know is who are the "tupiniquins" raising the green and yellow flag and found the opportunity in other countries to pursue their career. One such name is Eduardo Guedes, a Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu as well as a Brazilian Top Team graduate. Receiving his Black Belt from Masters Zen Mario, Murilo Bustamante and Bebeo. The fighter, who already has had a great career in "the gentle art" has established a beautiful course in the world of MMA and is preparing for his next fight, which will be in Bellator.
Guedes began his career in the fight world at 16 years old in Porto Alegre, with Masters Walter Mattos and Ze Mario (both Team Carlson Gracie), and then moved to Rio de Janeiro to train at Brazilian Top Team and devote himself exclusively to this challenge. "There at BTT I have made many friendships, like Rodrigo Minotauro and Rogério Minotouro, who encouraged me to fight MMA. After learning Boxing and Wrestling, I decided to venture into a career of the Mixed Martial Arts. So, years later, I came to live in America, when former UFC fighter Hermes Franca, called me to join the team The Armory, where I have been working until today, "Eduardo told TATAME straight from Florida, USA.
Living in the U.S. for four years, he is undefeated and has seven wins. And his next fight is scheduled for October 24th in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Bellator against the very tough Chris Ligouri, who is a teamate of Frank Edgar, current UFC lightweight champion. And to get another victory he is training hard with his team "The Armory" in Jupiter, Florida, and describes "Part of my grappling training with the team I train with Pablo Popovitch BJJ and Rodrigo Cavaca. My striking Coach is with Ouali (former coach of the American Top Team) and Edson Junior and physical preparation is performed by Joe Mullings, who is also the team manager. "
But when it comes to gentle art, the fighter has a great resume with more than 30 fights without defeat Submission in its category, in addition to being a Seven Time Gaucho Champion, three Time Champion of South Brasil, and a bronze in the World Brazilian champion of 2002 and for the ADCC Brazilian trials in 2005. And Guedes wants to be prepared for anything he faces. "My expectation is to fight big events, like UFC, Strikeforce or Bellator because I believe that events of this size give a good visibility in the U.S. and worldwide. I cant choose my opponents, but to fight with great names in MMA like BJ Penn, Takanori Gomi and Gilbert Melendez would be very special to my career, "said the athlete.

TATAME TV: Papo com Edson Jr. nos EUA
The striker Edson Junior is conquering his space in the ring and octagons in the MMA world right now. Undefeated in the sport, the Brazilian has won a belt in the "Land of Uncle Sam" and spoke with TATAME TV on his adaptation to the United States. "My yearning for family and friends is great, but thank God I can count on the support of Alex Davis, Joe Mullings, French Anderson, one of my teachers, and my new family here and in Brazil," said the fighter. Commenting on his expectations in the fighting world, "I enjoy fighting and I'm fighting MMA. This is my focus, I'm training and preparing myself every day more for mixed martial arts, the ground and standing. But if you fight standing I can fight that too, because Muay Thai is in my blood."

Edson - Tatame Article
Monday, November 30, 2009
The original article was in Portuguese, here is the English translation:
Junior has lived in the US for 10 months. He recently had his third MMA fight. It was with the event Renaissance MMA, New Orleans, on November 20th. With a record of three fights and three victories, two coming fromKO's and one for submission. Junior had previously defeated Lee King to earn the championship belt. This fight was a re-match that was requested by King to try and win the belt back. Lee King had a substantial MMA record and experience against known fighters as Roger Huerta, Sean Sherk and Melvin Guillard.
In the first fight between the two, Júnior defeated the weight class Champion, Lee King with a knock-out in Round 2. Now, the Brazilian accepted the re-match putting the belt on the line and winning this time with a submission.
The fight started with with Lee King going for the takedown but Júnior kept him away with strong kicks and punches. It made it very difficult to King to take the fight to the ground. The Brazilian defended all of the attempted takedowns by King and finished the fight with his Jiu Jitsu when it finally did hit the ground. He finished the fight with an Anaconda choke. He successfully defended his title and retained the championship belt.
"The fight was good, I could work my ground game, I had some good ground and pound, and still finish the fight with a submission in first round. It was good to not only feel prepared with my standup but also in the Jiu-Jitsu, I have been training my BJJ since coming here to the United States", said Júnior.
The Brazilian wanted to not only thank those who are helping him develop here in the United States, but also those that had always been present in his rise in the MMA and the growth of his fight career. "I want to thank in first place the God. After that Joe, for all support that he has given me here in U.S.A., my family, to my master, Anderson France, to my professors of Jiu-Jitsu, my friends of Brazil and to the partners of trainings, Rafael Chavez and Eduardo Guedese, and to Pablo Popovitch, that also helped me very much. Also to all of those at the academy The Armory for the support", I am thankful.

Fun Family Event Benefitting D/S Felipe Jose & Family
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Current Deputy and Retired Jupiter Police Officer Felipe Jose was stunned with the news that he would have to undergo emergency heart surgery. While enroute to see their father in the hospital, Stephanie Jose and Jackie Jose were involved in a car crash that tragically took Stephanie Jose's life. This event is being dedicated to benefit the Jose Family in their time of need, and in memory of Stephanie Jose.
Tickets: $8.00
Tickets can be purchased at Roger Dean Stadium now until the date of the event or through:
D/S Harry Thomas (561) 445-7977
Sgt Steven Strivello (561) 254-4715
or contact the PBSO Special Events Unit for tickets
Ticket Price Includes:
Game Admission, Silent Auction, Bounce Houses, Games, Raffle Prizes!
Celebrity Appearances by several TBA Major League Baseball Legends/Stars
And Much More!!
There are many members of the Armory who have been here for years that will know Felipe Jose and his family. Felipe is arguably one of the reasons The Armory is here today! When I first moved to the Jupiter area, Felipe had a martial arts school in Jupiter and invited me to come train. There I met Felipe, Scott Duquette, John Benegas and Todd Alofs. (By the way, Todd Alofs was in a very gay black gi...doing Kenpo katas at the time....it was very very disturbing.)
Felipe was a Police Officer at the time in the Town of Jupiter. He also had some other things at the time going on and running a martial arts school at the time was challenging so he was not able to keep
the school open. Somehow, he talked me into opening a small 1,000 sq ft. training facility in Jupiter... and that’s how The Armory came to be.
Felipe was instrumental in the early days of The Armory in coordinating construction, teaching classes, delivering Chinese food....whatever needed to be accomplished. Stephanie and Jackie were also here quite a bit during those times as well. Helping with painting, cleaning... whatever needed to be done. They were great kids and always a huge help.
If you are able to attend the Charity Event on Thursday, October 29th, please do.
If you can help in another way...please let me know. There will be a silent auction, if you can donate something that you think may help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hope to see you there!!!!
Joe

We had a great surprise visit last week from Mario Sperry to The Armory!!
Mairo Sperry is Eduardo Guedes instructor and had awarded Guedes his black belt in BJJ years ago. Zen Mario and Guedes remain great friends and since he was in Orlando, he decided to drop into The Armory and taught an impromptu class. This was a surprise and treat for everyone!
