i've lived in Brazil but never did get around to the J.J. as it had an "underworld" aspect to it there.

At one party one of the Grcie clan killed another person (I don't remember if it was with a gun or knife) and JJ is the closest Brazil gets to a gang-style underworld.

I have heard that the US military has adopted this discipline.

Yes the military have a interesting belt system although their instructors are only blue belts at best. If you ever remember which Gracie that was please PM me. They are good people I actually grew up training to one day be as good as Rickson. The gracies I know hate guns but the family is extensively large. Ryan was actually here the other day come to think of it lol. It does have a huge underground after all Pride is paid for by the yakuza but that doesn't mean it's not legit (I'm not saying that's what you mean) Anyway it's a good way to stay in shape and the Gracies are amazing ppl as well as the Machado brothers.

I took up Judo about 40 years ago but work got in the way. My dad who was in the British Army tought me self defence and how to apply certain moves and holds, particularly nerve holds in the shoulders and thighs that can disable very quickly. He also taught me how to attack by using leverage holds on the arms & legs. Not strictly martial arts but affective. Oh and a quick kick in the balls can slow someone down.

I train for NHB and have been very successful, it's not all MA as I train BJJ, Muay Thai and boxing all but am not a violent person it's just a way to release. I myself never found military training taught me ,uch but then again I have been doing BJJ since I was very young.

Seven young, freqüentadores of the nocturnal house, already had given deposition.

The text below won't translate well because it's from a discussion list and has many typos but what they are saying is that Ryan got his butt kicked by an 18 year old and then stabbed him in the back 3 times with scissors:

Ryam Gracie fez mais uma das suas ,e esta eu vi ,ninguem me falou !!!!Ontem ,rolou em garopaba o carnaval eletronico e Ryan estava la e se ele esta ,a confusao esta feita. Apos provocar bastante gente ,ele acabou apanhando de um guri de 18 anos ,que na hora que eu vi ,estava montado nele. Apos separarem a briga ,vejo ele e mais alguns marrentinhos gritando e fazendo pressao. De repente eles juntaram varios ,da mesma estirpe dele e foram para cima de Fabio Piemonte ,que pertence ao grupo chute boxe.Mas isso nao é nada ,quando eu vejo ,o Ryam com uma tesourinha (daquelas para dechavar skank) na mao e quando treis covardes foram para cima do Fabio ,o Ryam veio por tras e fez treis furos com esta tesoura nas costas do Fabio. Esta semana muita coisa vai rolar e eu acho que no Pride do dia 23 ,o bicho vai pegar pro lado do marginalzinho.Podem saber que isso nao ficara assim ,mas ontem pude constatar o mal caratismo de Ryam e seus comparsas. Esta semana escreverei mais ,se souberem de mais notícias escrevam tambem.

o ryan e os caras da barra que andam com ele são assim, drogados e despreparados por isso só andam em bando promovendo a covardia!

From: Paco
O Ryan sempre foi encrencreiro, mas eu conheço o cara e pelo menos eu, não tenho nada para falar contra ele, o cara sempre foi legal comigo, e as brigas que eu ví ele participar, que foram bem poucas, foi por que o provocaram, mas também não nego que o cara não fez essa fama a toa.

Porém, muito pior que o Ryan são esses babacas que pegam faixa azul ou roxa e saem por aí querendo apavorar e quando estão sozinhos mal olham para cima, esse jiu jitsu está ficando uma merda, só tem babaca, tenho até vergonha de falar que treino

From: FEITOSA
Concordo com vc Paco...da ate vergonha,mas acho que o Ryan precisa levar uma surra daquelas,o cara e mto mimado,nunca vi isso,tem que se controlar mais,depois apanha de neguinho da minha idade e fica feio pra ele,hehe,um cara que ja lutou no pride contra o sakuraba,levar um pau de um carinha de 18 anos!

From: ghost
essa historia está sem fundamentos derepente o Sr. Ryan Gracie do nada ataca um pobre garoto de 18 anos e ainda leva a pior, depois se junta com sua turma e mete a tesoura em outro que estava por ali, mas sem ter nada com a parada, perai meu amigo sei que o Ryan é encrenqueiro, mas tenho certeza que ele não iria enfiar a tesoura num cara que não fez nada para ele e a respeito do tal garoto, que coisa um garotinho inocente enfiar a porrada e ainda montar no Ryan é de se duvidar que ele tinha fama de bater em leigo eu ja sabia, mas apanhar dele é a primeira vez.
Obs : será que o garotinho é tão inocente assim ?

From: F L.
Em momento algum ,falei em meu texto que era um guri inocente ,ele treina na chuteboxe ,mas tem 18 anos.Ele pediu um tapa de lança para o ryan e o Ryan mandou ele se foder.Só que o marginal já tinha batido boca com várias pessoas durante a festa. E qto a ele juntar um momte de gente e enfiar a tesoura no Fabio ,eu vi ,ninguem me falou ,por tanto aconteceu!Agora ,esperem as cenas dos próximos capítulos ,vai ser sinistro !! abraço a todos

From: Colorado
Por conhecer pessoalmente o Ryan, posso afirmar com conviccão...O ryan é um merda! Quem realmente o conhece sabe disso...SAUDACOES COLORADAS!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm...I studied Shaolin Kung Fu, and a little bit of Judo, and Kobudo, briefly, but none to any real proficency, although I did win a Judo tournament as a lad. I found I was better at Jedi mind tricks than physical conflict. It has served me well.

Ryan has a temper that he needs help to control. He is a good guy it's just the temper. I'm not saying what he did was right I'm saying he has problems. He needs to learn from Rickson "fighting is an art" I have beaten Ryan when rolling but since I am concidered family "and am of brazilian blood if you go many many generations back" I don't think he would harm me...altho Royler is always there when we roll lol. He was not charged with either crime from what I see so how are we sure it's not a tactic of slander since everyone knows his temper? please correct me if I am wrong.
