“Settled in the United States, Vincius ‘Draculino’ Magalhães is the most responsible for spreading Jiu-jitsu in Minas Gerais-Brazil. He received the Intheguard at his academy in Belo Horizonte and showed, exclusively, only techniques that students have access.” – In The Guard TV
by Thayer Evans [April 27, 2010] — Remember when Nassau Bay City Manager Chris Reed was hailed as a hero for chasing down that guy in the Best Buy parking lot a couple weeks ago?
Now you can see the video taken from the police patrol car first on the scene.
League City police say that on April 10 Reed, a former police officer who’s also a professional mixed martial arts fighter, had been shopping for a dishwasher when he and his teen-age daughter saw a man pushing a woman to the ground and punching her in the face. Police say the man ran away but Reed chased him down, pinned him to the ground until police could arrive, then backed off fast so that police wouldn’t mistake him him for a bad guy and Taser him.
After the incident was publicized, Reed said he received telephone calls and e-mails from people throughout the Houston area. One man even offered to buy him a dishwasher, which he declined.
Fellow city managers from across the state also called and said it was nice to see a city manager in action. Police officers joked with him about not being able to get law enforcement out of his system.
Reed also heard from mixed martial arts enthusiasts and was interviewed by a fighting web site called cagedoor.net about the incident. Mixed martial arts fans praised the fighter known as “The Celtic Tiger” for stopping the man and showing restraint in doing so.
“It was pretty overwhelming,” Reed said.
Reed said he doesn’t consider himself to be a hero.
“Hero? Absolutely not,” he said. “I feel that by training and background it was a blessing to be at the right place right time to help the young lady and to prevent the guy from getting himself into more trouble.”

Shields proved to be among the best! He showed heart by surviving the first round and then put on a clinic on how to use Jiu-Jitsu to control an opponent completely! If he had more power on those punches from the mount position, he would have finished the fight!

“Intheguard.tv went to Belo Horizonte to talk to BJJ master Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães. Currently living in the United States, he talked with Intheguard.tv’s reporter Olivar Leite about the evolution of Jiu-Jitsu in the country, Abu Dhabi Pro Jiu-jitsu, great names in BJJ and the pros and cons about living in America.”
Seminar was great! Great turnout, over 50 people, four Black Belts and also Samuel showed the great work that he has been doing with his students. Great on the mat and great people. Can’t wait to come back to Tennessee!
Seminar was about the side control and mount position. Lots of details and new approaches. Great stuff!

Silva is on a level above the other fighters on that division. He is perfect on timing things and also taking the fight to his style. I know him and Damian personally and they are both great guys. Really respectful but in that match, Anderson was a different person than the real Anderson. He has to be careful because once you get in a certain level, you will be surrounded by a lot of people who want to be like the “Pirate’s Parrot” and just want to enjoy the fact of being around the champ, but not being really helpful.
Edgar did outstanding! Great performance. Congrats to Ricardo Almeida, my former team mate in Brazil, for being such a great coach and helping Edgar to do what a lot of people thought was impossible: beat BJ Penn. Close fight though.
Renzo is and will always be a legend, our hero and among the best ever. Look who he fought and his results? He fights because he LOVES it! He could sit and watch but he practices what he preaches! He was showing a great improvement on boxing and winning the first round and half the second, but the tiredness caught him and then he was on auto pilot. Congrats to Hughes for being respectful and having an excellent strategy.
