Renzo Gracie Gives Advice For Those Looking To Improve Their Jiu-Jitsu

Legendary
Gracie family member Renzo Gracie predictably stole the show at the
Fight Sports grand opening and charity seminar on Saturday in Miami.
After showing a few techniques to the eager crowd, he opened up his book
of wisdom and gave all those in attendance some advice on improving
their jiu-jitsu.”You get a lot better by training with guys who
are lighter than you and not as good as you,” Gracie said. “So every day
you have to roll with a guy who’s not so good, to make him better and
to make yourself better. This is extremely important for both of you.My
jiu-jitsu improved a lot when I moved to America. I only had Matt
Serra, who was a blue belt and Rodrigo. All my students were white
belts.”When Roger became the best, he went to London and
only had blue belts and white belts to train with. In reality, when you
train with beginners you start developing things. You let guys get to
positions you don’t let nobody else get to.”
