Young Renzo, 1996. Or was it yesterday? #Repost @billcurryphotographer with @get_repost My first professor and instructor in Gracie Jiu Jitsu, the living legend Renzo Gracie circa 1996 at his academy in NYC. Renzo had an MMA match in the Philippines against Japanese icon Yuki Kondo who has had over 100 fights. Professor Gracie submitted Yuki In round two with a trademark Mata Leao. Renzo is 52 and still a tremendous Vale Tudo fighter. Also the most gentle man always smiling and joking. He is a treasure worldwide in the Martial Arts world. @renzograciebjj @renzogracieacademy #graciejiujitsu #renzogracie #mmafighter #mmalegend #brazilianjuijitsu #blackbelts #blackandwhitephotography #portraitblackandwhite #gallerr #jiujitsu #mma #selfdefense Reposted from @renzograciebjj https://www.instagram.com/p/B7uTQp2JtFU/?igshid=1cg4n5908xg2h
