This is photo from the first BJJ in Santa Cruz, a Rickson Gracie seminar in 1994. How many Kaijin instructors can you find in the photo?
Santa Cruz has always had an incredibly rich martial arts community and the seminar that this photo is from set the stage for the jujutsu powerhouse that Santa Cruz would eventually become.
This picture is awesome! I can’t believe you found it Sam. This is one of the greatest days of my life, my introduction to Jiu-Jitsu from the greatest of all time, Rickson Gracie.
Wow Sam, Garth looks like a true stud wrestler. You both do such great things for families like mine thx again.
