i just wish that groundworks jiujitsu open up a morning class and saturday class, again.....cuz i really don't wanna go to another jiujitsu school that isn't under Rickson Gracie
Hi @billysue2 , I'm Brazilian and you were right in a few of your explanations and wrong in some others. The black and red belt is for those who get to teach BJJ for 31 years after promoted to a black belt. The read belt is just for those who are teaching for at least 48 years. The 10th degree read belt is just for Helio, Gastão, Carlos, Carlson and George, or as known the Gracie Master Brothers. You won't get the read and black just by getting the black, sitting and waiting for it, ok? Hugs.
@astrongword Actually that's a red & black belt not a red belt he's wearing. It may be a long time before we get to see him with a 9th dan red belt. In BJJ you have to have at least 48 years as a black belt and be a minimum age of 67 before you can wear a red belt. Every 9th dan red belt living or dead except one received their red belt at 67 or older. That one person I’m referring to is Rorion. Helio promoted him to 9th dan red belt at age 51. Helio was 90 at the time so that could be why.
@albertpatrick87 I have to correct you on one thing. The original 10th degree red belt Gracie brothers were not “Helio, Gastão, Carlos, Carlson and George.” They were Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., George, and Helio. Carlson was Carlos’ oldest son and he was a 9th degree red belt when he passed away.
@SuperSneakySteve naw...he specifically said to video tape the opening and closing but he doesnt want his teachings leaking onto the net...(that was me at 5:07,dreadlocks mon)

Damn, I thought I was going to get to see him teach.

Some people talk shit about Rickson Gracie but for me he is just the greatest and most inspiring BJJ master ever.

And yes, Rickson is a RED and BLACK belt master.
@TheGuanche88 You got that right brother. The greatest expression of the art ever!!

@albertpatrick87 Helio promoted Rorion to Red Belt a few years ago. There a re a few others outside Helio and his brothers.
