Renzo Gracie
A universally respected member of the greatest fighting
family on Earth, Renzo Gracie has earned extraordinary success
in every arena.
As a competitor, Renzo
earned many titles in BJJ, even before coming to the USA.
Once there, he fought and won in MMA at the elite international
level, from the beginnings of the sport, to the present
day. As well as MMA, he also distinguished himself as one
of the great Grapplers on Earth, winning the Abu Dhabi title.
Astonishingly, Renzo
is perhaps even more accomplished as a teacher. Operating
out of Midtown Manhattan in one the greatest fight gyms
on the planet, members of Team Renzo regularly compete worldwide,
earning world championships in Grappling, in BJJ, and in
NHB.
Renzo’s students
have in turn opened up championship gyms of their own. These
include Ricardo Almeida, Rodrigo Gracie, Matt and Nick Serra,
Sean Alvarez, Joe D'Arce, Jay White, Jamie Cruz, Mario Delgado
Davila, Amal Easton, Brian Miller, Rich Latta, Mark Colangelo,
Pat Cooligan, Rudy Vasquez, Ricardo Bittencourt, and Paul
Creighton.
In addition to being
one the most sought out hands on instructors in the world
(Renzo regularly teaches many classes at his main academy),
Renzo has produced some of the most sought after instructional
materials worldwide. His books and DVDs are some of the
best selling in the sport!
Because he is one of
the best Grapplers on Earth;
Because he is one of
the best Fighters on Earth;
Because he has trained
many world champions who are in turn creating world champions;
And because he is the
nicest guy anyone ever met;
Renzo Gracie is hereby
inducted into the Grappling Hall of Fame as a Founding Member
