Legendary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt (6th degree) and judo black belt Renzo Gracie lives and works in New York City. The famously jovial Gracie was walking the streets of New York last night when he suspected two men were following him. Gracie, undeterred, continued along his way, even simulating some drunken stumbling to see if his suspicions were correct. And, he began tweeting it out live to his 100,000+ followers. The rest is a lesson in being awesome: 22nd street and 10th ave right now two guys following me, can't help but have a big smile upon my face Im talking about a happy one ;-)))) Waiting for them... Are they really thinking I'm drunk??? They have to be kidding. Hahahaha 25th and 10ave ;-) they are getting closer lol ;-) I just stop to take a pic, they pretend they are looking at the window, can't lie... My blood runs in a different speed, man I miss Brazil They are coming closer, asking for a cigaret ;-) lol can't help but have a smile in my face. I don't smoke. Pretend to wobble. They smile My hands hurt... Can't help but look at him the other one took off running, not much of a friend. Chicken :-/ I can still see him, he looks... Back as he runs, no chance to catch him... Even though I began to try to run after him, I realize How slow I was. Fuck it :-/// This one asks me why did I do that, pretending to be stupid, one little kick to the ribs makes him whine and apologize, as I'm writing this. I ask him if he was planing to rob me, he says no. All he wanted was a cigarette, lol I can't help but have a big smile upon my face, and .. The certainty that if it was an ordinary man he would be sad about his stolen goods. Fucking **** cries like a bitch when the tide turns... I can't help but take a pic as his nose bleeds and he wines and asks why did I do that... Like he doesn't know the reason... My fucking hands hurt, hurt like hell... Drove around two blocks... The other fellow disappear, I'm heading home... Angry for not finding the second one. Guess no sleeping tonight There is basic things like you don't come back to where the problem was.. You just don't, I knew he would, just going around the block would... Be enough... Dumb f%#^ I just gave him the old style Raccoon, it has been a while since the last time I did.. Choke him out 3 times... And before he woke up I did hit each eye socket at least twice, tomorrow he will wake up like a raccoon, and every time he woke up I was... Whispering at his ears.. That's what death feels like it.. Don't do that again. My fucking hand hurts, :-/ a lot Next time I will use only the elbows, damn I miss that feeling, sometimes I wonder if the easy life has been making me... Soft.. All those years in Brazil, without knowing if I would make it home had to count for something, I can't lie I could have jump in a cab... But I could not help, I could spot them from a mile away, walking was my option, thank you mayor Giuliani, nobody carries a gun in our... Beautiful state, my lucky day, their bad day... My hand hurts and @FrankieEdgar is here at 9:30am for some training, shoot damn little guy
Re: Black belt Renzo Gracie brutalizes attempted muggers, Tweeting live as it goes do This is the difference between someone who has spent time in martial arts and the dipshit from the Travon Martin shooting. One guy could easily kill you with his bare hands if he wanted, probably within 30-45 seconds, even if he had a right to defend himself, but doesn't, because he knows he doesn't have to and is secure in his manhood. The other is a totally undisciplined needledick wannabe tough guy with a gun and no clue. If what's his name had even a few BJJ classes he could've swept Martin off his chest and tied him up until the police arrived instead of shooting (or getting shot/stabbed). Then again, the hard lessons learned in the gym probably would've flushed those suburban knight aggression tendencies out of him. Renzo, besides someone with a weapon, is probably the worst person to try and mug in Manhattan.
Re: Black belt Renzo Gracie brutalizes attempted muggers, Tweeting live as it goes do For the record Renzo (Hen-so) is 5'10", 175-lbs., and pushing 50. We're not talking about a 25-year old MMA competitor anymore. He has the experience and the wisdom combined, just not the footspeed
