You guy's should know this is a promo for the 'test' video.The lesson's are available only online at the Gracie University. The blue belt first stripe is alot of material. It is much more applicable for 'roll'n' than the blue belt material (Gracie Combatives).
But they also keep an emphasis on 'keep'n it real' with striking included in training so that as you are learning you are prepaired for self defense. I would say it may not be their motivation but this could really help those with aspirations for mma.I have found since I have started with the Gracie program my style has changed.
I do feel more comfortable dealing with strikes than I did prior. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that we never practiced or rolled considering punches in the bjj club I used to train at. Probably the mma guy's were more comfortable with it but most of the bjj guy's just kind of took the attitude, well I'm not fighting mma anyway.I have trained with Ryron and Rener.
I have seen Ryron train and roll with other black belts and high level guys. He is the real deal there is no doubt in my mind.
