Pat King Shows Royce Gracie His Gratitude
After having been influenced by Royce Gracie's first dominating performance in the very first UFC, Pat King started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 1995 at the what was then, the newly opened Gracie Academy in Torrance, Ca.
Under the direct teachings and influence of Rorion Gracie, Caique, Royce Gracie and particularly, the immortal and legendary Helio Gracie, Pat King had the honor and fortune of learning the most dominant martial art directly from the family that created the art to which he was now so eternally committed.
On March 2, 2008, and after having been training for over 13 years, Pat King was awarded his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by none other than the legendary Royce Gracie himself and has the distinction and honor of being one of only a handful of Royce Gracie Black Belts that have started training under Royce Gracie from day 1.
