BJJ / Grappling Legends: Rickson Gracie

Fighting Fit Manchester will soon be hosting a seminar with former UFC heavy weight champion Frank Mir. Frank has a very practical approach to BJJ, in which he has a black belt. I've always loved the truth and practicality of BJJ, not that I'm interested in MMA or self defence, but because you can't make any claims without having them tested and re-tested. BJJ is honest and true.

There are heroes in our art, people who embody the inner spirit of the art. Rickson Gracie is one such hero and he ranks top banana in most players' books so when he talks we all listen. The man slapped the Hulk for heaven's sake!

Big thank you goes to BJJHacks.com, BJJWeekly.com and Scramble for documenting this conversation with a true master of the arte suave: Rickson Gracie.

BJJ will work in MMA if you train BJJ for MMA, as proven by champs like Frank Mir who will be doing a seminar at Fighting Fit Manchester.



Even if you are not interested in learning BJJ for MMA or in MMA itself, it would be of interest to learn how and why many of the techniques were originally created the way they were.
