raph is a scum bag even the way he treated Kurt proves it
The John Kreese of BJJ. But 100 times worse IMO.
Extremely gross, I know the Police where looking for Ralph, I assume he's been brought into custody by now.
Reading from the actions of the man in the read shirt, i assume he said something of the sort " if i drive my fist in to your stomach what are you going to do... " and the man in black showed him...
Thats my thought on the video, when did this happen?
Nevermind i looked in to it...
Interesting stuff happening after that UFC brawl infront of all those people.
Still waiting on the Gracie breakdown video for this.
haha is there gonna be one for real? :cool:Quote:

Ehhh it’s complicated. Gracie barra was never supposed to open schools near NY or SF out of respect for Carlinhos cousins (Ralph and Renzo). Ralphs action is by many accounts the old school Brazilian way of dealing with what Flavio, being a main figure in GB’s expansion, was trying to do in crossing the imaginary line in the sand drawn to prevent Gracie Barras from opening on Ralph or Renzos turf, I don’t condone any of their actions though on some level I can understand it.Quote:

If you are going to preach it, do it first by example. The old school way of travelling is by horse but I don't see too many people doing that anymore, just because something is old school doesn't make it good or right.
Ralph or Renzo's turf ? What are they gangsters or something ? Are you not allowed competition or something ? If their product is so awesome and what they do is so great they'll have nothing to worry about. If they actually want to promote the sport/art shouldn't they be pleased at the opening of other places to do it ?
Again, not saying I condone or agree with their actions, only saying that this is highly likely the thinking that went into the attack. There is a dichotomy between the old school way of dealing with things back in Brazil and American enterprise. My hunch is that Ralph felt threatened by Gracie Barra’s expansion and acted as such. Of course it was disgraceful. Doesn’t make it any less complicated. We’re talking about the mob mentality of GB staying away from NY and SF due to no more than a handshake deal, the attack allegedly happening as a result of that “deal” not being honored. There were no papers stating Gracie barra couldn’t legally expand to those areas, they’re so big on global expansion, why do they have schools in virtually every major city other than SF and NY? Exactly. It’s complicated. This is America though, that type of behavior shouldn’t fly and won’t fly. There’s pending litigation, not to mention a public relations nightmare. Ralph was definitely in the wrong and just dug himself into a hole. Funny enough tho I still see him posting on IG, I doubt there’s a single cop in SF that could book him strictly using hand to hand combat. On top of that, most every head instructor at jiu jitsu schools have an in with local cops, maybe that has something to do with it. Gotta look into it :eek:Quote:
