Well, last month it was my 18th birthday. Instead of going out and getting wasted like most modern day English lads, I stayed at home, so I would enjoy the next day training with Royce Gracie. Gracie was really cool, taught me alot, as a person and a martial artist. He gives really wise words. 20 of us trained with him and he went round, and spoke to everyone individually and showed each person different things. The day ended with a sparring session with Gracie, the man is awesome. After he was happy to take photo's and sign items. He signed my UFC figure and gloves. Can post pics if anyone wants to see. ;-) He then just genenrally chatted with everyone, overall, an amazing day with an amazing person.  Will answer any questions  |

Royce is a good guy. I never actually rolled with him, but he has done seminars at Ricardo Almeida's school down here before. However, I have rolled with Renzo and Royler, and man.... it's scary. But, talking to Royce about his battles with Kimo and Sakuraba are just something to remember. Good for you, man!
Show pics of the autographed figure!

Happy Birthday and congrats! I noticed you were wearing a shirt and shorts to train. Did Royce teach you techniques for gi grappling, no-gi or both? Not only did you train with a Gracie, you trained with THE Gracie!

He did a bit of Gi and no Gi grappling, mostly showed us alot of ways of tweaking our technique from mount. Best ways to get into mount and bet moves to lock on from the mount. He did MMA sparring with us aswell, and some light stand up. Which I've heard is pretty much unheard of with Gracie.
