After looking at a number of Gracie and Machado websites, its seems like they are very busy traveling around the world making money by giving seminars. With all the traveling and seminars, when do they have a chance to teach their students? Is it a situation where they are the "chief" instructor, but you will primarily learn from one of the assistant instructors. I am not knocking the assistant instructors , but if I am paying to learn Graci J.J. I would like to actually learn from a Gracie.
