rilion gracie

I am embarrassed and frankly disgusted at these Jiu Jitsu Black Belts that graduate themselves or accept stripes from others. This happens more here in US as I guess they think Americans are fools. Let me set the record straight: my Father Grand Master Carlos Gracie, established a system with rules and procedures over 80 years ago. Black belts are only to be awarded stripes by the Jiu Jitsu Federation and based on how long they have had their black belt and not on an individual's decision, friendship or business arrangement. We have set our art apart from the others because of this same reason that
due to the fact that we respect hierarchy within our art. This is the fact!!!!! Rilion Gracie

Rest In Peace Oswaldo Paquetá

Rest In Peace Oswaldo Paquetá
Before Youtube and Facebook, even before OnTheMat, there was Oswaldo Paquetá. If you're not familiar with the Red Belt Grandmaster, chances are you are at least familiar with his work, as much if not all of the early footage of Jiu Jitsu from Brazil was shot and archived by the man and his video camera.
Paquetá easily has the largest collection of Jiu Jitsu video in the world and he is directly responsible for much of the growth of BJJ throughout the world. Many of the older generation will remember quite fondly watching a Paquetá video (on VHS sometimes so many generations old or worn out it was difficult to distinguish between competitors!)
Moreso, Oswaldo Paquetá was a friend of ours. He not only had a tremendous influence on OnTheMat, but he personally befriended and mentored Scotty, who will post a more personal reflection shortly.
R.I.P. to the Grandmaster Oswaldo Paquetá and thank you for everything.

Kayla Harrison is the first American to win a Gold Medal in Judo at the Olympics

Kayla Harrison is the first American to win a Gold Medal in Judo at the Olympics
LONDON, England, United Kingdom — Kayla Harrison made history on Thursday by becoming just the first American (man or woman) to ever win a Gold Medal in Judo at the Olympic Games. She did so by running the gauntlet in an incredibly talented field of judoka in the Women's 78 kg (172 lbs) division.
The only other American women to win an Olympic medal in Judo is current Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Harrison's current USA Judo teammate Marti Malloy. Rousey won a bronze medal in 2008 and Malloy won a bronze medal on Monday. In 2008, Harrison traveled to the Olympics in China, as a training partner for Rousey and the two remain close friends.
Harrison, who just turned 22-years-old a month before the Olympics started is a native of Middletown, Ohio, entered her first Olympic Games as favorite to win at 78 kg, after winning the World title in 2010 and taking bronze at the World championship last year. Harrison has been training with USA Judo's national team coach Jimmy Pedro at his school in Wakefield, Massachusetts, since she was 16-years-old. Pedro is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist, former world champion, and 6th degree black belt in Judo.
