Monday June 6th, 2011. One Legend bestows an honor to another.
Without doubt, the most renowned Jiu Jitsu master in the world, Rickson Gracie, promotes his cousin, friend and long time student, Master Jean Jacques Machado, in what was an emotionally yet inspiring private ceremony in Los Angeles, California.
Professor Machado was bestowed promotion to Red/Black Belt in recognition of his 25 years as a Black Belt Instructor, competitor and world champion.
NOTE: I have had the honor of training and spending some downtime with Jean Jacques and he is truly one of the nicest and most humble person you would ever want to meet. If you ever get the chance to train with him do it!
