Right now I'm a four stripe blue belt; but in hope to spread RVT in Italy, our Instructor has allowed us to tech the VERY basics to people, all test and examinations must be held in the Center academy in Rome. To be a certified Instructor in Ruas Vale Tudo you must be appointed personally by Marco Ruas; that means that you'll spar with him, no pads, NHB and full contact. My instructor told me some horror stories about Ruas training...
As doing shrimping for 60 min continuosly....
My friends seems to hold on training pretty well, but this is the starting program: what I've undercome in the main academy was really brutal; it was so brutal that since the first instructor course things have been more watered down. Most people get freaked out and left for good...
One thing particularly I remember well, and was duck walking down the gym perimeter; everytime we reached a big brazilian flag we must burst-hop and tap the wall over the flag. The top of the flag was 7', whenever you did touch the flag you were send in one corner and did 100 push-ups.
I throwed the lunch...
So did my fellows...
