Rickson deserved the red belt before any of the other members of his family.

It is absolutely true. If there is one who deserves the RED BELT, it is Master Rickson Gracie. One can understand it only if the practice of JiuJitso is part of his/hear life. Whoever had chance to train BJJ will certainly understand what you mean.

It kind of amazes me that EVERYBODY in the world that has any knowledge of who Rickson Gracie is says that he deserves to wear the red belt except Rickson Gracie. He is an amazing man. He is what jiu-jitsu is all about.

Rickson could wear any belt he wishes, he is still the Master of the Masters Rickson Gracie

Thank you for your explanation and references. I hope the philosophy of "self defense" first and competition second is further promoted and strengthened in the greater Jiu-Jitsu community world wide by Rickson Gracie's promotion.

Rickson getting a red belt seems like a no brainer.

You guys are great. Thanks. Please get some sound absorbing mid range acoustic panels up on the walls particularly in the corners to cut down on the sound reflections. This will vastly improve the sound quality and therefore allow your message to be better understood.

Rickson Gracie should have been red belt years ago. Long overdue.

I think the biggest reason that Rickson deserves the red belt is because he doesnt want to wear it though it was granted to him unanimously by the council. So many people would put it on and walk around all puffed up like "look at what I have done with my life everyone." But Rickson says he is going to wait for the rest of the time he has to fulfill according to the standards laid out by his federation in order to be fair and maintain order in promotion. He will put it on officially I believe in 2 or 3 more years. I think Ricksons statement and actions are commendable and noble. There is a famous saying, "the belt only covers 2 inches of your ass, you must cover the rest." Lol

Gracias familia Valente por compartir siempre sus conocimientos de la filosofia Gracie, son un ejemplo a seguir ustedes tambien OSS.

Where can we find the book written by Maeda?

I didn't know people had a problem with Rickson getting a red belt lol. That's pretty crazy they'd think he needed to wait more time.

professor leonardo xavier spoke at a seminar about grandmaster helios report card system i like it like that

Não pude deixar de notar, na parede , a inscrição "JUJUTSU". Isso é particular da Escola Valente ou estão renomeando a Arte ?
