Rickson Gracie's first USA School - a story

Underground
1

Henry Akins is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Rickson Gracie and a former instructor at Rickson’s academy in California, US

The above video is Henry Akins,recounting stories of the early Rickson school in Cali.  1994 I believe is the time period.

Dojo Challenges handled by White Belts, and other crazy stories told.

I really enjoyed this episode.  

6:15 is when he first starts talking about his BJJ experience in the early 90s and how things have changed since then.

I found it an awesome watch for any MMA fan. For anyone who doesn't watch Budo Jake's online stuff, it's really good.
