“Never leave it in the hands of the three stooges”!

~ Dana White, president of the UFC, refereeing to the referees after Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar 2.

“There’s no point in just being strong; you have to be technical. Who do you think is more dangerous: a gorilla with a machine gun or a sniper with a 22?”

~ Marcos Schubert, Jiu-Jitsu professor with successful instructional videos on the internet and avid GRACIEMAG reader.

“I see a lot of people calling for Jiu-Jitsu at the Olympics, but there aren’t many remarking about how year after year judo and wrestling lose participants. What I’m interested in is spreading Jiu-Jitsu as a martial art, as the most important tool for human self-development there is. To me that’s a lot better than seeing Jiu-Jitsu become a decorative Olympic sport like judo, taekwondo, badminton or canoeing.”

~ Ricardo Cachorrão, Jiu-Jitsu professor and our GMA in New Jersey
