Royce Gracie “On Board” With USA Jiu Jitsu

Royce Gracie & "Papa" John Gorman, USAJJ Commissioner
Earlier this week “Papa” John Gorman, USA Jiu Jitsu Commissioner, was in Miami to meet with legendary Royce Gracie at the Valente Brothers Academy.
Papa John, recently back from Brazil, where the Jiu Jitsu International organization was formed with the help of the 4 Grandmasters in the Red Belt Council, showed Royce first-hand the documents that make USAJJ and JJI official.
Royce grew up amongst most of JJI’s grandmasters and recognizes their importance and dedication to the sport that his family made popular.
He told Papa John that he’s fully “on board”, as long as his father’s (grandmaster Helio Gracie) legacy is respected.
Royce’s support of USA Jiu Jitsu and Jiu Jitsu International helps solidify the goal of uniting the sport, a goal that will lead jiu jitsu into the Olympics of 2016.
You can help us by becoming a member of USAJJ and talking to your students and/or coaches about it. USAJJ is a non-profit organization.

The market is flooded with schools offering grappling, submission fighting, mixed-martial arts and jiu-jitsu instruction. Consumers wonder which schools are legitimate and which are belt factories designed to take your money without offering any real skill training.
New Breed Jiu-Jitsu founder Johnny Ramirez tells us that USA Jiu-jitsu’s instructor certification offers a level of credibility no other body can. Watch the video to hear his thoughts on the subject. This is the second part of the interview we had with Johnny during his visit to our National Training Center
