portuguese expressions at tournaments?

[Robert Sevigny]

im PRETTY SURE from my understanding at bjj tournaments (not sure if internationally i would assume yes?) but definately in brazil from what i think i hear, i hear the brazillians in the AUDIENCE chanting "O BRI GA DO" which means "thank you" translated but i have no idea WHY they chant that (i hear a 4 syllable chant in portugese but cant figure out what/why)

[Tony "The Goods" Garcia]

I'm not 100% for sure on this one, but I remember hearing somewhere that "passe/passa quada" means pass the guard. Any Brazilian speakers able to confirm this?

Most verbs are different but that one seems to be the same. Passar su guarda or to pass his guard. I also use passale or passe los pies. Obrigado as I understand is thank you but also comes from a traditional song. It's like Cielito Lindo for us... U know bro, canta no llores.

I am Portuguese, but i don't go to jiu jitsu tournaments. I can tell you what the words mean in Portuguese, but if the words have a specific meaning to jiu jitsu that i probably wont no.

I think what you mean is "passe/passa a guarda". "Guarda" means guard. So you get "pass the guard".

"Obrigado" means thank you.
