I am ashamed to say that Ryron and Rener teach classes online, and that you can get a belt from a Gracie over the internet. I am sad to know that it\u2019s happening now. Unfortunately, I can not do anything. I do not own the world, I can only control what I do. Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art. You need to put your blood in the gym, hang out with your teacher and earn the belt. It\u2019s something you do not get with time, experience for money and friendship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What do you guys make of this?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
