The setup began around 6 a.m. and we were ready to go for the 8 a.m. seminar. It was unusually early for a seminar, but those that helped set up were sweating [...]

Jim, First off, keep the emails coming; they are informative, funny and enjoyable! Secondly, thanks for all you’ve done thus far to get the New England schools running. Funny thing is, I first learned of mma, or whatever it was called back in the day, by watching Royce at UFC 3. Since way back then, [...]

Fortunately that hasn’t yet become a necessity. But Jiu-Jitsu, Jim, and Royce really did save my life. No [...]
I’ve been training Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu in Boston ever since the school expanded here. Since that time my life has moved in a positive direction in more ways that one. I largely attribute this to my jiu jitsu training, partners, and instructors (Paul Bratslavsky, Mike Ryder, and Jay Bell). I have found that Royce [...]
