First Ever Surprise Gracie Garage Seminar

[@clippertalk]

Rener deserves a TV show. He's great at making these vids and has a great personality.

[@StRabBleD]

Holy shit. So when I heard surprise, az I was excited. Turns out this shit was filmed on the street behind my old house. I've been in that house. How fucking unreal.

[@GrapplersQuest]

This is AWESOME - I'm so proud of what you guys have done to keep the legacy alive!

[@petersifuentez6420]

Can’t believe this was 10 years ago, anyone watching from 2019?

[@firetopcontent6895]

Peter Sifuentez yup

[@IoanSaid]

I want my own garage! :)

[@DrReginaldFinleySr]

2020 now. :-)

[@NickTheSwordsman]

2024

[@MuHaMaat]

When I was first introduced to Grace Jiu-Jitsu it was in a garage similar to this @ Ft Bragg and Royce Gracie showed up and gave the senior students their belt test. This Shows the loyalty to Jiu Jitsu, to practice it wherever it is loved!

[@sgtjonesiniraq]

Awesome! It's good to see that Rener is taking such a hands on approach to making sure the jiujitsu he puts out there is the right stuff.

[@gravisbeats]

Hey Rener!! Ive got a garage in Australia.... love a visit,utterly humbled man. Peace

[@AngelOchoa]

I get up in base every opportunity I get. Everyone thinks I have back or knee issues because of it, but I tell them it's the contrary. Getting up in base is a good habit to have and it's easier on the joints than other ways i get up.

[@KeybladeMasterKDL]

Rener is 6'4'', how can he stay low?

[@VIDEOSROK]

stretching man !!! stretching!!

[@albertcastro409]

You guys are awesome what they are doing to spread the art ! Keep up doing that for people visiting them. You impact many lives

[@pinadulce69]

Renner is a class act and a holds true to the legacy of the Gracie name...

[@MrBobmaloney]

Cindy, this is a perfect video of two Gracie garages. I will have one when I move and there is no Gracie Academy in the area. I will attend a regular club until my clientele is big enough. Bobby will be my training partner along with whoever shows up. I like the setup on the first garage more than the second. My family will be able to see their training and Max will have a perfect influence and environment.

[@stephenhopkins1003]

That's really cool. What would have been even more cool is if they cancelled class that day and Rener instead walked in with that dude and his wife getting freaky on the couch!

[@khairuleven]

dude wtf bro lol

[@Radio-sg3dh]

Oddly specific lmao

[@Kenlac92]

@jahensle the point is that they are training and practicing what they learn from gracie combatives. Be it with limited guidance, or an official instructor, they are developing a hands on education and discovering what works for them and what doesnt.

[@GershonKum]

It's story of real great teacher that belive in the "way" . Very impressive.

[@DrReginaldFinleySr]

Beyond awesome!

[@wrduckclub]

What a cool idea. Good job.

[@davidmalone5034]

you should, really, expect suprises if you live in suprise, arizona.

[@GC-wc8wj]

Mad respect... God bless

[@Hurricane23]

i recently bought some grappling mats and set them up in a room and thinking about opening up a gracie garage but not sure yet cause i train at the gjj academy so it wouldnt be a big deal lol

[@cocokhan94]

I love Rener

[@MrAndreSamuels]

This was awesome

[@TheGermanyDrummerGuy]

the awkward moment when Rener Gracie is standing in you Kitchen :D

[@Sambo_Shorts]

Rener is the man

[@Americanism1776]

Need a series Rener! Lol this is better than the ultimate fighter if it were more detailed and stuff

[@BALLAsTvDotCom]

amazing im joining one asap

[@MrPotatoesLatkie]

It's probably more like a study group, where you watch the DVDs with a group and, practice the techniques. I have the DVD set and, they break down 36 techniques with various modifications quite well. If you drill those techniques hundreds of times with a resisting partner, you'll be able to protect yourself.

[@josh1212121]

can anyone tell me how do you get up in base

[@k00lkane]

Is there a video on standing up in base?

[@scottlain9091]

Outstanding

[@mshort76]

Awesome!!

[@GW0911]

Wonder if any of the Gracie's have made a surprise visit to a GG in Australia?

[@drmaazsadiq]

This is so cool!

[@bjjbluebelt1325]

thats so cool cuz i garage train and i love it so much thats a genuis idea i love it

[@J90JAM]

Rener Gracie - Burglar WIN!

[@ipyonoti]

Thanks to Jigoro Kano! now the smaller person can survive against a bigger opponent :) thanks to the gracies for spreading the word

[@iMaKeUsHoOk]

That's cool as hell to get surprised with a legendary fighter coming to ur house outta appreciation for practicing their sport. How often u see mike tyson show up for u being a boxer or steven segal show up for u studying aikido? i wish i had a garage to open up, even if i didn't practice in there for some reason, i'd let it be a free spot for bjj around the neighborhood for practicing

[@RJXRP]

Very cool!

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

im thinking about maybe starting a gracie garage i do have one question do you absolutely have to do the online blue belt test or can you just apply for gracie garage status buy the combatives dvd's and just practice them ? because i dont believe in online belts i do however believe in getting some guys together and practicing techniques

[@kd5ptm]

+Dominik Doherty I am a member of a Gracie Garage, so maybe I can help you out. The answer is no, you do NOT have to do your Blue Belt (BB) test online. In fact, it is encouraged for you to find a training center and take your BB test there. All Gracie CTCs (Certified Training Centers) use the same curriculum that Gracie University does, and can test you in person. Also, even if you don't test for blue, you can still practice the Master Cycle curriculum as a White Belt. I hope that helps, good luck!!

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

Joshua Pappas this was when i was doing gracie jiu jitsu but i gave that up to focus on aikido when i get my black belt I'll consider doing it again =) thank you anyway =)

[@kd5ptm]

+Dominik Doherty My pleasure. I have fallen in love with the art of Jiu Jitsu, but taking the journey of any martial art is awesome. Good luck!

[@The_Purple_Tape]

Cool video

[@MZITinfo]

If you're standing up in base and your opponent is already standing, doesn't that leave your head exposed for kicks or knees?

[@bre3341]

@LeperKing it not a skool really it like a training session to help other online peolpe in your area

[@xxventura2280]

I wish I could find a Gracie garage in Sydney, Australia! There's gotta be one around here somewhere! Otherwise I'm looking at training at Gracie Barra

[@vmbrazilianjj]

come train at myBJJ!

[@DisabledDinosawr]

Is there anywere in UK that does official BJJ grading?

[@DUARTE99]

That's so cool.

[@neilomac]

I presume Rener was in Arizona for Wrestlemania weekend - his girlfriend is Eve Torres, the WWE Diva.

[@MongPhu]

very nice

[@Gumbi1012]

Does the idea of getting the belts through online testing actually "work"? I struggle to see how it can, considering how it could be abused. Anyone with experience that can inform me? Thanks.

[@chavamma]

Rener! Awesome Gracie T! Where Can I get one!?

[@MrCaRealtor]

Thats awesome

[@takidabossen]

I don't understand! how do you open one?:P

[@luv484202]

made me cry

[@Ringtribe]

The first appearance was awesome.....the second one, not so much. I liked that "standing up in a street fight" instinct check. Wow, Gracie University........ :)

[@IoanSaid]

I'd love a Gracie Garage! Emailed your office twice in the past couple of week, so hoping for a positive response!

[@Bill-Butcher]

Quality

[@scarred10]

rener ever fought in his life,he grappled competivley for a number of years but ever fought in mma.HES AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER,best ive ever seen but a legendary fighter is someone who has had a long and successful mma,boxing or kickboxing career,grappling isnt fighting.

[@MrMZaccone]

@billysue2 Aren't you embarrassed that most schools (maybe yours) hand out a blue belt for being able to defend against nothing but Jiu-jitsu while being mostly clueless about defending against striking etc. Have you seen ALL the Combatives techniques and how they are taught and practiced? It's just a blue belt dude! It's like Rorion told me when I didn't feel ready, getting mine from his father in 1997 "You don't have to be the best blue belt in the world right away, you know."

[@rkounnas]

GET UP IN BASE!!!!

[@maruj666]

@LeperKing ummm...isnt that the purpose of the Gracie University? they let people open up a Gracie Garage to allow them to gain the teaching experience to one day open their own school. trust the system my friend

[@scarred10]

there are bad teachers in every area.Its always better to spar with lots of different body sizes as you need to adjust strategy to match them.However i recently got my brown belt without ever having a teacher,just 15 yrs of wrestling and grappling with a bunch of judoka and wrestlers that were into bjj but no scholls nearby.I find ive a better understanding than those who were spoonfed as I learned by trial and error

[@didibjj]

100%

[@ics9664]

Blue belt test? Wtf does that mean.

[@sliderx1897]

Look at how real he keeps it the name of the man who beat my grandfather on his license plate

[@grahamcoles1966]

this is good for people that dont live near a bjj school

[@GretzkyTheWonderDog]

Oh my god how tall is Rener? He makes everyone look short.

[@graciescottsdale]

6-4

[@jbsmarine]

[@TheOwned4eva]

2:07 Odd reception for Rener Gracie with "nigga"

[@holistichealthg]

Surprise in Surprise hahahaha

[@strikermo]

it's a mustang

[@jgn2112]

Rener needs to keep it real with a seat belt.

[@jamesellis33]

Theres sparring if you make sparring. I got to various MMA schools pretending to want to sign up to test my skills. So of course they try to go hard on me thinking i'm a newb wanting to sell their school. I tell them oh, i train in karate. xD. I do GU, my uncle has a purple belt from denton bjj, and my friend a MMA fighter Alden trains under coach mohler. They show me what I need. I don't have any rank, but know bjj. So, its all about what you do to train realistically.

[@khairuleven]

funny af

[@massivojohnson]

Lucky the dude never shot him for sneaking in.. haha. But yeah. REALLY good to see this. Its been said already... great ambassadors for Martial Arts as a whole. Gentlemen. Where else would (OR HAVE YOU EVER) seen this......

[@gabriellandrum87]

Thats so awesome, I would freak if he busted in my house..I wouldnt know if I should go for a take down or shake his hand. LOL Eh I'll make him watermelon juice and roll with him. Haha Keep it Real in Surprise Arizona.

[@richfinaldi636]

Rener is funny but insane! funny shit come into the kitchen ! lol

[@Gumbi1012]

Wow America is rich.

[@808raised]

Did... did you just break into someone's house?!

[@SMASHTIME]

Please do not just walk into a house in Texas like that.

[@jamesellis33]

I've been doing the GU, well learning from other sources as my uncle is purple belt and my friend alden is a mma fighter. I went to various schools no names *cough cough evolve, reyes, mohler. Pretending to want to sign up to test my skills in sparring sessions. I could not be submitted by anyone, but the upper ranks and even then I gave them trouble. They asked if i knew bjj, I said no, just karate. xD In fairness, i'm going to school for physics. Yeah GU real deal, I tested it out. ^^

[@user1234990]

funny to see how easy you get inside someones house in united states, if that would be possible in argentina say goodbye to all your belongings

[@IamJacksColon4]

getting a belt by training in your garage....stop it.

[@IamJacksColon4]

this is bullshido mcdojo bullshit. and i do train 3 times a week in a REAL gym with real partners and black belts.

[@lakmir0]

IamJacksColon4 Aww, does some little boy need validation that he is better than the other boys?

[@IamJacksColon4]

lakmir0 i know i am

[@lakmir0]

IamJacksColon4 Cool. Here is a way to prove to KZbin that you are the man...go down to Torrance, CA to the Gracie Academy, walk in, ask to see Rener or Ryron, challenge them to an all out match, get your buddy to record it, and post it for us all to see. Do that and prove your mouth. Or (most likely) be a little girl and talk your way out of it. Whats the matter? Cant beat the Masters in the "online program?"

[@IamJacksColon4]

lakmir0 i already train at a real bjj gym, which is why i critisize this move

[@ipyonoti]

this is awesome!

[@TheTardstrong]

Awesome!
