The Kimura Grip was not invented by Kimura Masahiko either. « Joe D’Arce trained martial arts at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City. He began his training there at the age of 16, commuting from Long Island. Under the guidance of John Danaher, he developed his skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and became known for his use of the D’Arce choke, which was later named after him due to his success with the technique in competitions« www bjjee com/articles/joe-darce-explains-namesake-choke-darce/ (Shitty with loads of ads) The Von Flue Choke probably existed before Jason Von Flue too source, 2025 ↗

Just go. What part of NYC? Shaolin has a nice school in Manhattan source, 2022 ↗

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 ↗

Anything other than that guy. What's the gym? Did you contact the Gracie Academy and inform them that one of their members, or former members is presenting himself as a black belt? Sadly, it could be that the guy is a black belt in something else. It wouldn't be the first time someone wore a black belt from a different TMA when they taught BJJ. Or just flat out lied. 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 ↗

Going to be actually living in Fresno at the end of the trip, will certainly make trips to Stockton and Pleasanton to visit Caeser Gracie and Dave Camarillo respectively. source, 2015 ↗
