MMA History Documentary Trailer

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:20:36 +0000

Director Bobby Razak is coming out with a documentary film on the history of MMA. Where MMA comes from is a matter of how far back in time you want to look, because at different times, there have been examples of cross discipline matches, bare knuckle matches, and teachers mixing, refining, and advancing a given martial art. By the trailer, this documentary is about how people had been thinking about the idea since the sixties, and from then how it came together.

Train with Rickson Gracie

admin — Sat, 14 May 2011 06:45:23 +0000

A special opportunity has just been passed my way to share with you. The Vancouver Gracie Barra school is planning two excursions to Brazil for BJJ students. The first excursion includes entry into a Southern Brazil Championship tournament, and both packages include travel and amenities to Brazil, a two day seminar with Rickson Gracie, visits to several BJJ schools. This package was put together by Rodrigo Carvalho, 2001 Black Belt world champion who is now an instructor at Gracie Barra Vancouver. Professor Rodrigo likes to say to his students, “You go to USA to learn the real basket ball, you go to Canada to learn the real hockey, and you go to Brazil to learn the real BJJ”. The whole excursion cost would probably beat what you do on your own. Gosh I would love to do a trip like this. The package is open to students at any level of experience with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
