Everyone is entitled to their opinions, thanks for stopping by our website and telling us how much you like someone elses.

The online jiu-jitsu is cool and I would like to take it to refresh myself, and learn new techniques of course. But there's certain things like balance, handling someone else strength, and proper positioning in which you need a training partner to learn.

[BradyKnight]

@coolioisafoolio Agreed. IMO, online BJJ resources are only really useful in conjunction with actual training, or at least rolling with buddies.

[jamesellis33]

@coolioisafoolio I mean you have to understand its not even possible to practice jiu-jitsu without a partner, even doing it online. People that do it online are not interested in winning useless trophies, they want to defend themselves in rl. Now why you would get into a fight with another jiu-jitsu practitioner in the street seems strange and such a person should be stripped of their rank. I don't trust any of those dojos they just want to steal your money to learn one thing.

whats the name of the song when video starts?

[DraculinoTeamTx]

[dimi887]

The Online Training center he has created is amazing. Other instructors should take note

[Kletterbuxe]

[stu03ufc]

ahahahah on the plane he a blue belt....touches down he a purple hahahaha

[caveirao101]

Nothing but the truth!!!!! O mestre e cabuloso!!!!!!!!!!

[DraculinoTeamTx]

..I don't think Drac even knows HOW to lie.

[ninamckenzie]

Great vid! I couldn't agree more about online belts--its like getting a degree from an online university--it never really feels legit.

[GrappleDummie]

Wow, incredible interview. I'm glad someone had the balls to say what needed to be said. Renzo and Draculino are both old school and are true to themselves.

I always here about how this shit wouldn't go on in brazil, I don't know why they let it happen in America. They need to take a stand against stuff like that. 

DRACULINO FOR PRESIDENT!!! hahaha

[DraculinoTeamTx]

If Drac ran for president I would vote for him lol

[DENNISLOPEZINC]

@GrappleDummie so why don't you say that to the Gracies who run their Headquarters out of TOrrance, California? Tell them that and see what their response is. Looks like there's some hating between those that train under Gracie Barra and those that trained under Helio Gracie.

[puffyasiandolls]

Great video. I wholeheartedly agree that you should not be able to belt test online. Draculino is the man!

[Laminar]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks Padlock and Drac for taking the time to answer our questions.

Really appreciated.

[DraculinoTeamTx]

Anytime man, we appreciate the support we are getting from everyone.

[alvinso]

Great interview. Watched it from beginning to end.

[FightClubJiuJitsu]

really nice video, Draculino is such an cool guy

[DraculinoTeamTx]

Yeah, he is..and he's funny as hell.

[Ccabbage1977]

Loved it, Draculino is tres funny and engaging.

[GooseHinson]

I just stumble in here doing a search on Gracie Barra Fundamentals DVD review. I never seen you before but I like you from this interview. You seem like a good guy. I'm a beginning student of bjj. As far as belt goes here's my views. It doesn't matter for me. Royce Gracie says a belt is only something that holds your pants up. The only reason I wanna get a blue belt is to get to the Advance Class. You can tap out a higher belt than you. Not like in army wit higher rank u hold more power

[bostonalext]

The belt doesnt matter to you, because you're a beginner. Come say that if you get to the black belt, legitimately.

[jamesellis33]

@bostonalext The thing you have to understand noone cares about black belts the general public thinks martial arts in general is useless clown stuff. I mean what contributions does having a black belt actually do for society or the advancement of the human race. I mean a person with barely a B.S. in Physics or chemistry will have a more productive existence than an martial artist. I love jiu jitsu , but it is a hobby and has no benefit for others only the people that practice it. Rank pfft.

[mig29bamf]

who was the hardest fighter you had to go up against
