EMIRATES TEAM IN RENZO GRACIE CUP
NEW YORK - USA
It’s when Renzo Gracie receives his students and other friends for the Renzo Gracie Invitational, this year to be held on the 24th and 25th of October.
For this and other attractions, it is a can’t miss event for residents of New Jersey and adjacent areas, or for those looking for an excuse to visit New York. With sign-ups ending today at 10pm New Jersey time, it would be wise to rush, although that doesn’t quite keep with Renzo’s philosophy.
“He doesn’t get stressed about anything, before or during the championship,” states Igor Gracie, event co-organizer. “Nothing’s a problem. You can look, have you seen a white hair on his head?” says the cousin with amusement.
This year, organizers of the Invitational expect to receive 450 athletes on gi day, and 300 on no-gi day. The no-gi one is still going slow, but at the last minute more people enter,” says Igor, reminding participants that the event will be held at the same location as last year, in Bayonne, NJ.
“A lot of the academy’s black belts will be in it. The main athletes from the academies, for example, will compete, including black belt professors Leonardo “Tunico” Leite, Rafael Sapo, Neiman Gracie, Bruno Tostes and others. You can tell the gang is getting excited around here,” says Igor in closing. For anyone who can make it, it’s a good one not to miss. Renzo and the Jiu-Jitsu family are there waiting for you.
