While looking through some photos we noticed that we had a whole bunch of photos of tatoos that some of our BJJ brothers and sisters bear on their bodies.
Check out these tatoos and try to guess who the owner is if you can...

On Monday night Royce called me up and said that he was going to Fresno to cover for Tosh Cook who by the was is in Georgia finishing up training for the National Guard. I did not know that it was a seminar until we got there because it was all last minute otherwise we would have said something to everybody.
We will make an announcement ahead of time for the next Royce seminar. So far, the next one is in Miami, Fl. approximately in October. For those who want to go to Miami to a 3 day Royce Gracie world wide seminar let us know now and start planning to go for about 4 days.
Check out the photos that we brought back thanks to Inga...

(A must SEE!!!)
This one is an absolute MUST SEE. Armand showed us 2 websites that have from what we understand to be two of the most current "BJJ Black Belt Lineage History Charts".
If you were wondering who gave whom their BJJ Black Belt, its mostly there... Taking into consideration the explosive popularity of BJJ throughout the world, this chart is not 100% complete. But we are sure they will make an update soon. Either way, its an honor to be a part of a page in the history of this amazing art...
The first "BJJ Black Belt Lineage History" chart can be viewed at:
This chart is much more current and detailed than the first but you can use both of them for reference because each chart has info the other one does not.
If you love BJJ, you have to check out these sites. But WARNING!!!... You may find yourself losing track of time looking at these 2 sites because there is so much info and because its truly fascinating...
Give us your feedback on the MESSAGE BOARD... Thanks for stopping by...

Latest News!!! (March 29, 2009)
The 2009 Pan Am Games were held in Carson, Ca. this weekend.
One of our Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt brothers, Evaldo Lima of Neutral Grounds Jiu Jitsu in Long Beach, Ca. came out and took Silver in his weight class as well as Bronze in his Black Belt Open division.
Evaldo caught his second opponent in a beautiful leg submission that he appeared to have set up way in advance of the actual submission. Gracie Jiu Jitsu all the way.
Also, there was a "Minute of Silence" in memory of Grand Master Helio Gracie. The arena was packed and every body stood in silence for one minute.
Then Rickson came out and made a quick speech which was very nice. You could feel Helio's energy in the air.
Check out this YouTube video to the left as well as a few photos...
