八岁的Michael房尽管有视力障碍，但训练起巴西柔术来有板有眼，一点儿也不放松。请看本报昨日的报道：

Practicing forward rolls, one of the core movements in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), Michael Fang did the warmup drills under the instructor’s guidance in a kids’ class with other students. Despite being visually impaired, the 8-year-old didn’t just go through the motions. Instead, he buckled down to the exercises.

“I’ve been practicing it [BJJ] since last year. I found it interesting, and I like the feeling of an actual combat,” Michael said.

报道中的BJJ全称是Brazilian jiu-jitsu，即“巴西柔术”，这是一种专攻降伏，以擒技见长，综合格斗竞技与系统自卫于一身的武术。二十世纪初由日本殖民者带入巴西，经艾里奥•格雷西发展成柔术新流派。
