Rener Gracie on the Jack Greener Trial GracieBreakdown 2023-04-02 | Understandably, many people in the jiu-jitsu community became very concerned and jumped to quick conclusions about the Greener case based on the limited amount of information available.Having been involved in this case for nearly 2 years, I'm releasing this 22-minute video to:1) Clarify that I don't believe Francisco Iturralde's action's on November 29, 2018, were malicious or intentionally harmful.2) Shed light on some of the specifics of this case that guided my decision to get involved, along with the essential (previously unpublished) evidence that was considered at trial when determining whether there was “unreasonable risk” present, and whether or not the injury could have been avoided.3) Share what I learned throughout the process with the hope of informing BJJ instructors, school owners, and everyone who practices it to ensure that we can continue doing what we love without this ever happening again.For those who are unfamiliar, this case was regarding a sparring session between a BJJ white belt, Jack Greener, and a BJJ black belt instructor, Francisco Iturralde, that lead to a neck injury causing the student to lose control of all four limbs. Thankfully, his condition has improved since, however, he remains a quadriplegic with severe and permanent injuries including limited function of all four limbs, loss of sensation from the nipples down, bowel and bladder incontinence, and much more.I was called to offer my expert opinion on this matter. At first, I was hesitant to become involved in the case based on the effect it might have on the jiu-jitsu community, but upon reviewing the footage, and better understanding the specifics, I came to a position where I actually felt obligated to take a stance on the standard of care we owe to our students, and that I believe is necessary for our industry to thrive. Like all the expert witnesses on this case (including my second cousin who was the expert for the defense), I was compensated for my time.I also understand that accidents are bound to happen in our sport, and that students who enroll must understand and accept a reasonable level of risk when practicing jiu-jitsu. As professional instructors, our top priority must remain the safety of our students, and there are simple steps that can be taken to minimize unreasonable risks to each of them.Some key points that I wanted to touch on:The Technique: On the surface it appears that the technique was done "correctly" and that this was just a freak accident. Upon closer inspection, the facts indicate otherwise, and this is thoroughly explained in this video. Spike: I now understand that the terms "spike" without context can be confusing and misleading (especially when communicating with BJJ practitioners who have a technical definition in mind when they hear that word) and that was not my intent. In the video I explain how although what Mr. Iturralde did was not technically a spike, the reason why spiking is illegal in BJJ competition is precisely to avoid the type of injury that Jack sustained. This becomes especially clear when you observe the position of their bodies in Frame 70 of the video.Precedent: There appears to be some fear this case may set a precedent that if anyone gets hurt doing jiu-jitsu, that the school and/or instructor will automatically get sued and be held liable. I'm not qualified to give legal advice, but my opinion is that this will not be the case. This was a very unique and preventable situation involving: a black belt instructor sparring with a white belt; who performed a technique he never taught to the student, and did the technique in a manner that is inconsistent with how it’s conventionally taught, rather than opting for a safer technique (of which there are many). In was the convergence of these very unique and extenuating circumstances that led the jury to reach the verdict it did.Waivers: There is some concern out there that waivers aren’t valid. In this particular case, the waiver wasn’t admitted as evidence due to some technical errors in the waiver itself, but nothing has led me to believe that they are not valid as a whole. Again, I'm not giving legal advice, but this is all the more reason why school owners will want to make sure they have their waivers reviewed by an attorney.Continued in the comments...

Tyre Nichols 🙏🏼 GracieBreakdown 2023-01-30 | People asked for a Gracie Breakdown, but there is not amount of defensive tactics training that would have changed the outcome of this hate-filled attack.

Gracie Bullyproof Summer Camp GracieBreakdown 2023-01-27 | The Gracie Bullyproof Summer Camp is offered once a year at Gracie University Headquarters and at select Certified Training Centers around the world!Although the exact price and dates vary by locations, this 5-day camp will take place Monday through Friday from 9am to 12pm. Designed for children, ages 6 and up, this is our most popular camp of the year and typically sells out several months in advance.Every child will get bullied at some point in their lives, and technology is only making matters worse since the bullying doesn't end when they leave school. Our goal is to equip your child with verbal and physical self-defense skills as well as the confidence to set boundaries, so that if they are targeted, they can put an end to the harassment before it's too late.1. Unshakable Confidence with Gracie Jiu-JitsuBullies target children who don't stand up for themselves. By giving your child the non-violent Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques to neutralize a physical attack, they will have the confidence to take a stand against bullies before the harassment spirals out of control.2. Verbal Self-defense TrainingVerbal harassment is more common, and often times more damaging, than physical harassment. To ensure your child is ready to identify and overcome these inevitable attacks, we conduct a series of specific role-playing exercises each day of the camp.3. Fun & Fitness for All AgesKids don't like to exercise, but they love to have fun. Each morning we begin with the "animal warm-up," and throughout the day we play several other games designed to give your child the exercise they need and the fun they want!4. Character Development & Drug DefenseThe connection we develop with the camp participants is strong, and we use this connection to instill the life lessons that every child needs. Each day we choose a different topic, from discipline and healthy living to drug defense and abduction prevention, so your child is ready for life beyond the playground.5. Register Today!To learn more about the Summer Camp, or to save a spot for your child, be sure to contact the Certified Gracie Bullyproof Summer Camp Location nearest you at http://www.BullyproofSummerCamp.com

Why Anthony Kiedis Quit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu GracieBreakdown 2022-10-22 | Jiu-was designed to empower the weak against the strong, and the fact that a 59-year old Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers) had to quit after only 3 classes, tells us the opposite is happening. I’ve been teaching jiu-jitsu for over 25 years. One consistent theme I’ve observed is that if you’re athletic and competitive, and have a high tolerance for discomfort, you can train at any BJJ school and you’ll be okay. If you lack these traits, however, BJJ will chew you up and spit you out before you ever have a chance to build a foundation and experience the limitless benefits it offers it’s long-term practitioners. This is why we all of our beginner programs are 100% geared towards self-defense. For several months, students learn a specific set of techniques intended for a street fight against someone who doesn’t do Jiu-Jitsu (99.95% of the population). Not does this eliminate the complexity and competitiveness that makes sport BJJ so confusing and injurious for beginners like Anthony, but it gives new students a chance to fall in love with the fun and effective foundation of the art before the heat gets turned up. At our schools, only once someone completes the self-defense foundation, are they allowed to engage in the more competitive aspects of sport BJJ. By this time, not only will they have a solid set of simple techniques to stay safe in a physical altercation, but they will have a foundational understanding of the positions, technique names and training etiquette that will allow them to roll in a way that reduces the likelihood of injury for them and their training partners, thereby increasing the chance that they will enjoy the lifelong Jiu-Jitsu journey (and not just 3 classes). If anyone has Anthony’s phone number tell him I’m willing to come to his house to give him the personal introduction to the art that both he and Jiu-Jitsu deserves.
