The Gracie Barra Texas head instructor has been training Jiu-Jitsu for thirty years and his wisdom is priceless.

There are too many gold statements here to relay to you, so watch the video and learn from the role model himself:

A country with a tradition in combat sports, Greece has all the makings of a breeding ground for great fighters and a market for Jiu-Jitsu teachers in Europe.

At least that’s the assessment of Robert Drysdale, who just wrapped up a seminar tour in the Greek capital of Athens and took off for Ireland.

To the teacher Greece harbors opportunities for those who want to teach and make a living through Jiu-Jitsu.

“Jiu-Jitsu in Greece is taking off in popularity quickly. There’s a lack of tournaments, but folks there are passionate about the sport,” assayed Drysdale, who taught three seminars in Athens.

“They have a millenary tradition in fight sports and I feel that within a few years the country will be a major Jiu-Jitsu power in Europe. I believe over the next few years we’ll see a new crop of Jiu-Jitsu teachers and players. And the people there are really hospitable; they treated me like a king. I was very well received,” stated the ADCC 2007 absolute champion.
