Kyra Gracie is going to teach her Jiu-Jitsu in Miami for the first time, a great opportunity for practitioners living nearby. The Gracie will be at Carlson Gracie Miami for a seminar open to people of all academies, on Friday, March 19, at 9 am.
Before traveling to the U.S., the black belt got involved in the campaign to help raise funds for troubled fighter Fernando Tererê, who is hospitalized in a rehabilitation clinic in Sao Paulo. The fighter autographed a brand new gi and is putting it to auction.
Anyone can place a bid until the 10th of April, with a starting bid of 250 reais. To place your bid, please contact Elan Santiago by phone (21) 7858-7244 or by Nextel: 55 * 87 * 23798.
For fans of the Gracie, here’s a video of her competing against Megumi Fuji at ADCC 2005, when she became under 60kg (132 lb) champion.
