Capoeira Brasil New York

Yeah and he’s right. It’s a genre that originated in Japan. When you learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in New York, it doesn’t suddenly change to American Jiu Jitsu. Classifying something based on the country it was made doesn’t tell you anything about the contents of the game. source, 2025 ↗

Imagine stepping into Baloney’s world. You’ve spent your entire academic and professional career trying to build a name for yourself. Now, in your 40s, married with two kids, you’re stuck in a low-level administrative job at a third-rate law school, struggling to make ends meet. Then, fortune finally smiles on you. Dave Ramsey takes an interest, hands you access to his audience, and brands you as a “Doctor” (in the same way Dr. Phil is a doctor). Overnight, you have a Dr. Phil-style show, embraced by Ramsey’s devoted followers. A ghostwriter churns out your “New York Times bestseller,” propped source, 2025 ↗

Hello, yes, welcome to jiu jitsu where two of the top names in the sport are publicly-not-publicly using accusations of child sexual abuse of *another* major competitor, who happens to be the sibling of one of the *first* two major players, as part of their social media campaign. Are the cops investigating in New York, PR or Texas, you ask? Of course not. Has this hurt their careers? Also no. source, 2024 ↗

What? This is a new rumor even for me. I’m a blue lodge Mason, Acacia 243 out of California. Knights Templar I’m getting to go for in a bit. We call it a “lateral” degree. There’s no “rank” change, if that makes sense. But yea, getting more serious in my Christianity and I was agnostic for a long time kinda in my 20s and I didn’t want to go through the popular lateral degrees like the French influenced York Rite or the more traditional Scottish Rite experience. Knights Templar I know expects you to swear a sword for Jesus. I wasn’t 100% sure. I am now. I got deep with Epstein researc source, 2024 ↗

Thankfully Brazil was smart enough to bar Bolsonaro from running from office until 2030 after his coup attempt. Something the US should learn from. I'll see if I can find the article later today but during the US election/ Covid bullshit there was a Renzo affiliate owner wearing a Renzo shirt leading the charge at one of the rallies. If anyone is interested in fascist free jiu jitsu in New York, shoot me a DM. source, 2024 ↗

I train at Renzo Gracie Philly. Our head instructor is Daniel Gracie, Renzo's Cousin. I say the above to say, if Renzo has trained all his black belts the way he has trained Daniel, then Renzo's is the way to go. Daniel is the best teacher I've met in the last 3 years. He pays so much attention to details and knows so much and understands the new "games/positions" very well. His success with Paul Felder and Jonavin Webb is not by accident. I'm a bigger guy in weight, average or short in height (5'8). On the first day the academy opened 3 years ago, we had a good mix of folks raging from s source, 2016 ↗

by Gracie Academy in New York, do you mean Renzo Gracie Academy? Just about all of his affiliate schools are run by black belts with a few brown belts running schools. source, 2015 ↗

I would go to New York and alternate between Renzo Gracie Academy for John Danaher and Marcelo Garcia's Academy for Marcelo Garcia. I'd do that for a month. Then I'd go to California for a week to smoke that good ganja shit and spend all day on the beach. In other words, I'd go to 10th Planet. source, 2015 ↗
