Do the schools of separate Gracie family members ever fight each other? example a student of renzo fighting a student of rorion? etc.
Not sure, but, if you line them all up, Im betting on Renzo's team!
tysonlc - Do you fight your cousins or uncles?
Yes
Yes.
When it happens, it is what is known as a "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament".
TrainJudo - Not sure, but, if you line them all up, Im betting on Renzo's team!
I'd bet on Relson's

^ LOL
competitions are a hassle.
yea... I was speaking in terms of MMA. I was just curious considering the amount schools Affiliated with a gracie is staggering and if they are all part of the same network that's a ton of competitors that would never fight each other.
Rorion's school doesnt teach MMA
^^^ ? ^^^
I started at Gracie Torrance many many years ago, and the instruction was awesome from Royce, Rorion, Caique, and the student instructors that they had.
I think the closest i can remember of two Gracie school fighting was back when Royce got subbed by Wallid (BOOOOSHEEET!) Ismail, Carlson cornered Wallid and i believe that began a fued with the two sides of the fam, It wasnt MMA, but as intense as that match was, it should have been!
Royce hit a beautiful throw though..
Yeeehaw!
Train Judo!!
^Theres been a rivalry between Rorian & Carlsons schools waaaaaayyyyy before the Wallid fight.
ptm2020 - ^Theres been a rivalry between Rorian & Carlsons schools waaaaaayyyyy before the Wallid fight.

Carlson recruited Judoka so he usually won though...just sayin.
