Rickon Gracie Seminar

I recently had the privilege of attending the super-exclusive Rickson Gracie seminar the Tennessee. It was a two-day seminar with four sessions (two per day, with an hour lunch break in between both days).

On the morning of the first day, I was lucky enough to have breakfast with the likes of Pofessor Pedro Sauer, and Rodrigo Vaghi. Definitely a cool experience to have such a casual meal with such great jiu jitsu talent.

Rickson opened the seminar with a short speech about the recent death of his father, and how he believes that Helio would have wanted his jiu jitsu legacy carried on. Then we began two days of concept-based discussion and demonstration of what Rickson believes to be the "invisible" jiu jitsu secrets that have propelled his game to its extreme level.

You can believe what you want about Rickson's alleged 400-0 record, and all of the mythology that surrounds him, but either way, his jiu jitsu speaks for itself.

I mean really, it's frickin Rickson!
