After the traditional coconut water, walks on the beach, some “feijoada” and Açaí, Bourdain dropped by Gracie Barra’s headquarters.
Bourdain himself did not put the gi on, but his wife, Ottavia, who trains in NYC with Igor Gracie and is a white belt, decides to take on a challenge against a Brazilian blue belt.
