His legacy will survive forever in all members of the Gracie Family, jiu-jitsu practitioners around the world, and all those who have benefited from the revolution he began. In his final years, the creator of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu often spoke of his satisfaction with his life's work. He openly stated that he had accomplished everything he had set out to do, displaying his preparedness for the transition into the afterlife. The Grand Master believed that such a transition should be seen as a positive step in one's spiritual evolution. In a recent interview he declared: "I've already told my sons that when I die I want there to be a party. No drinking, no debauchery." To honor his request and his legacy, the Gracie Academy will host a celebratory gathering/slideshow presentation on Saturday, February 7, 2009. In anticipation of a large turnout of friends and family, we intend to have three showings starting at 4:00pm, 5:00pm and 6:00pm. If you can't make it to the party, but would like to express how the Grand Master has affected your life, please send your story to heliogracie@gracieacademy.com so we can post it on the Gracie Academy website. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/eskrima Copyright 1994-2009: Ray Terry, MartialArtsResource.com, Sudlud.com Standard disclaimers apply.
