Open minded Fabio Leopoldo holds a seminar at Gracie Morumbi

You have to admire Fabio Leopoldo. The leader of Gracie Morumbi academy is a former World Champion but still keeps the open mind knowing that everyone has something to show, and he wants to learn. To prove the point Fabio hosted a seminar at his academy conducted by one of his students. Kai Ellison is a Blue belt under Fabio with a penchant for taking the back and using the berimbolo with great efficiency, so Fabio thought it would be a great idea to have Kai share his knowledge at Gracie Morumbi. Other students at the academy felt the same way as 8 Black belts showed up and attended the seminar to learn from Kai.

I remember someone wise saying "Be open to learning. Always keep the mind set of the white belt who is eager to absorb everything."

Grandmaster Relson Gracie promotions and more


L-R (standing) Chris Onzuka, GM Relson Gracie, Mike Onzuka and Kaleo Hosaka L-R kneeling: Rob Moss, Kyle Snyder-Olivares

Kid usually stays away from announcing Black belt promotions as I get so many requests it would be all I'd do :) but when it involves Grandmaster Relson Gracie promoting friends of mine I have to make an exception. The Grandmaster promoted Brandon Bernardino, Kyle Snyder-Olivares and Rob Moss to Black belt rank and awarded Kaleo Hosaka his 1st Degree.

Congratulations to all and to my friend Kevin Tang for his Brown belt! Well deserved everyone
