I have so much respect for the Gracies. They set out to prove that their art was effective in the best venue available, in competition, and have shown its effectiveness time and time again. Siteing one example or one particular fight doesn't discredit what they have accomplished. They are true warriors, and a very proud family who has worked tirelessly to promote and provide quality instruction for what is a true love of mine.
Paul Vunak once said, in refrence to Guro Dan Inosanto,"They only try to tackle the guy with the ball" and the Gracies are still carrying this ball, along with a contingent of top martial artists who have learned from them, either directly or indirectly.
Mahalo, Jeremy
