No shit.?. I thought those guys always rolled with seminar attendees.
Learn something every day.
No, just charlatan bullshit artists.
I like humble people. You ever hear me talk shit about Bernardo faria or Marcelo? Never and you never will because they’re genuine dudes.

For the record, I’m not saying Royce is a blue belt and my instructor was obviously exagerrating; my point is he had no dog in the fight and that, if anything, he is biased against the Gracies. He was of the opinion that Sperry, Bustamante and the third guy (I can’t remember his name, but he was supposedly the best guy at Carlson’s but was bad at tournaments) could run through any Gracie; except Rickson.

Rickson is at least good enough to roll with blue belt seminar attendees and continue to build his legend. Royce, not so much, thats some sad shit lol.

Has zero to do with politics.
Just be legitimate. It’s not hard. Don’t talk about bullshit like “aura” and “invisible” jiu jitsu.

Yes, that’s him.
Without hesitation can I say Royce Gracie’s seminar was THE worst I’ve ever been to.
Never seen a BJJ instructor --or any martial arts instructor-- have a worse attitude. Zero f@cks given by that guy. Zero.
BUT, saying he is a ‘Blue Belt’ is insane… even thought he was quite LITERALLY wearing a Blue Belt at that seminar. LOL. (He really was).

I last saw Rockson in August 2000, kid was super respectful at the Academy to the point you would never imagine him hanging with the wrong crowd let alone doing drugs.
I saw affiliates come in from out of town and he greeted them like family. Was so shocking to hear that December he was gone/missing. Don’t remember the time line but I want to say by December we heard he was dead.

On top of that I remember little Kron. He was around and trained and competed but was clearly not that interested overall. I remember one time at a tourney asking him to roll (he’d be a Gracie I coukd actually submit), I was joking with him and I will never forget he tugged at his shirt “I don’t have a gi”. He had been rolling around with kids his age. Was really incredible to see him become the BJJ badass! Truly someting special!

Fucking Gracies use any excuse to duck a challenge.

Yeah when Reason opened his academy, all his family came. All of the family were super cool, especially Hello. It’s like we were his grandchildren and he was the proud grandpa.
Royce had his arms folded with an imperial look, giving yes or no answers.
I met Rickson at a BJJ tournament, with Aussie martial arts actor Richard Norton. He was slightly aloof, but friendlier than Royce.

One of my sons went to HS with the son of a Gracie in the Central Valley. Apparently, the Gracie kid had a bunch of followers and they would show up at parties and bully other dudes.
Not sure if that is isolated behavior, or family/cultural.?.
