Our instructor, Master Relson Gracie made a surprise visit to Philadelphia yesterday. He stopped by to test my brother and I for a new stripe promotion on our black belts. My brother Ricardo will be testing for his 3rd degree and I will be testing for my 4th degree. We are honored to have him here and to have the chance for him to improve our techniques.
This test requires us to show him all of his father’s (Grand Master Helio Gracie) self-defense techniques from the feet and on the ground. There are more than 200 techniques that we have to show him! And we are ready! I can’t tell you how excited I am!
When Rick and I got our black belts, Master Relson required us to show him ALL of the techniques in his father’s system. We both spent hours demonstrating the hundreds of techniques that we had learned over a twenty year period. Relson strictly follows his father’s methods of practicing and teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Master Relson will be presenting us with our new black belt degrees at 8:30 pm tonight. (After the clinic)
I hope that you all can make it out on such short notice!
