  • I met Royce Gracie

    I met him at a bowling alley yesterday. He was with what appeared to be his wife and three kids. He is really small framed, I mean small! When I shook I asked him if he was Royce Gracie he said yep, not much is it as he looked himself up and down.

    nice guy!

    yeah he's definately very down to earth....I've been training jiu-jitsu at one of his affiliates for about 4 years now and he comes down every 6 months or so to do seminars and give out belts....super nice guy

          I am a bit older than he, and I seen what he can do to guys bigger than me... makes you realize that size doesn't matter (as much as I hate to admit it!)

            Admit it, you didn't want to make him look bad in front of his family by choking him out. I can respect that

              sweet bro. i saw the fight against F shammy. he looked composed and patient. the format of the exc dosnt lend itself to the slow methodical BJJ style but he did win by DQ.

              pics?

                      true, i wish i started it when i was younger. my standup is fair but my sub defense is bad, even if you dont intend on applying submissions knowing them helps keep out of them

                      every time i say i am done with MMA i start wondering "is that young fella talking all that smack badder than me?"

                      most of the time the answer is yes i suck but i love it

                        I remember 16 years ago when I was stationed in Brazil with the Marines, I met Rickson Gracie in Rio De Janero. He and I became good friends for many years, and we hung out for the 2 years I was stationed there. I trained pretty much every day with him, and officially became a Blue Belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
                        .
                        .
                        .
                        OK. Everything in this story is a lie. It sounded pretty cool though.

                          Get this, Forrest Griffin was signing autographs at a nutrition store last week in my neck-o-the-woods... looks like the UFC/Xyience is pushing to get more attention....

                          Makes you want to join in on the fun.... but training like a UFC fighter and building size don't really pair up too good... don't you think?
