RVC: A great exampleRSA would like to congratulate a very special member of our school: Ron Van Clief. Many of you may know him as the legendary film actor, The Black Dragon or as the fighter who, at the age of 51, fought Royce Gracie in UFC 4. Ron is also a Grandmaster in Goju-Ryu with students all around the World and was a student of Masters: Peter Urban, Frank Ruiz, and Moses Powell, as well as WingTsun founder Leung Ting. He has rubbed shoulders with Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and many other major martial art icons.
Ron is turning 80 years old tomorrow (January 25th), competes in tournaments regularly, and says he will keep training and get his Relson Gracie Black Belt one day. Ron Van Clief, we are honored and inspired by your life and example. Fabio Santos is a name synonymous with true Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and RSA has always had the deepest respect for him and his students. One his loyal Black Belts, Tony Amezquita, is in Honolulu and will be teaching this Tuesday & Thursday at 6:30 pm. Come down and learn some cool tricks to add to your game. Thank you also to our gracious visitors (from L.A., Australia and San Diego) who wanted to train Jiu-Jitsu in Hawaii. We were happy to have you with us and would love to have you back again. January 2023 uncle BO’s HONOLULURSA is blessed to have a remarkably deep reservoir of experienced Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Hawaii teachers/practitioners (years on mats shown below). Really blessed. Your pattern of integrity, loyalty and humble/selfless giving back to the next generation is priceless. Unreal.
