In less than 10 days we will be in FUERTEVENTURA for our annual SURF & BJJ CAMP hosted by "Take Off & Fight" !!! Come and join me for my very first open Jiu-Jitsu seminar on the island of Fuerteventura. This year I will be joined by some of my oldest students and friends - making this Gracie Concepts BJJ Retreats Worldwide even more special and unique... Join me with Thomas Mehnert, GJJ black belt and special police trainer, or Grigori Winizki, GJJ and Luta-Livre black belt and world class BJJ/Grappling/MMA champion, Daniel Bachofen, GJJ black belt with 34+ years of experience and top Surfer... YOU still want to miss this training camp? I am very proud to be the founder of Gracie Concepts HQ - the very first BJJ - GJJ network in Europe (est. 1995)... 30+ years of true commitment to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at its best... no BS politics, no BS claims, no BS talk - just real and honest Jiu-Jitsu as it needs to be taught and trained today. WE ARE ONE - and we welcome EVERYONE - on our Tatame there is no place for religion, color and status of any kind. We help each other to become better - on and off the mat, as my teachers dreamed. This is how I give back to them - by respecting the art and fighting for it... I am very proud that my teacher Grandmaster Joe Moreira awarded me the Coral Belt, but my Jiu-Jitsu knowledge has been shaped also by many other teachers, including, but not limited to, Grandmaster Royce Gracie, Grandmaster Rickson Gracie, Master Sylvio Da Matta Behring, Master Waldomiro Perez Junior, the Machado Brothers - especially by Master Rigan Machado and Master John Machado, and the list goes on. I would also like to thank everyone at Gracie Concepts HQ network - students and instructors alike - who contribute daily by attending and supporting me at my training camps, seminars, teacher's training, and in every Dojo around the globe. I am so proud of each and every one of you. God bless you all. -Franco Vacirca Garcia 🥋👊🙏💙
