What a fantastic Yoga for BJJ seminar run by Sarah Draht. The biggest question asked at the end of the seminar was when could we have another one? Our team absolutely loved Sarah’s seminar.

14 years ago today Master Carlson Gracie passed away.
Master Carlson helped the growth of BJJ and MMA more than most people realize. I feel fortunate that I was able to meet him and earn my BJJ Black Belt under one of his highest ranked students Master Marcus Soares.
The picture below is in 2006 with myself with Master Carlson Gracie and Marcus Soares.
