I was just at his gym last Saturday for a seminar with his brother Victor, Braulio has only ever given out 1 black belt that being to Victor, all his other students are brown belts and below. Plus Victor hasn't won the Mundial World Championships at black belt himself. I was told by 1 of my friends that there hasn't been a single British person, but I wanted to be sure as there is Braulio in Birmingham, Victor in Nottingham, Lucio Sergio Dos Santos and Lucio Rodrigues in Preston and Roger Gracie in London.

What about Chiu Kwong Man? He's a black belt at Gracie Barra Birmingham.

Havn't heard of him, I was told Victor Estima was given the only black belt by Braulio. Could be wrong though. Originally Posted by James Steele

Rick Young?
I don't know what competition he won but I know he is a black under Mauricio Gomes... Have a look at the pic and you might know from background?

You were told wrong, Victor Estima is a Carlos Gracie Jr. black belt. Chiu Kwong Man is Braulio's first black belt. Originally Posted by retsoFyroR

According to his Bio on his website he entered and is "The British, European cup, 3x Pan American and 3x Masters and Seniors champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
He is a serious legitimate martial artist wit one of the sickest biographys I've ever seen.
