How long is he in town?
Seriously,
Still have yet to even watch it haha, but we'll see
All respect to everyone here!
what is his full name?
I think Renato is planning on staying in the U.S. til at least his visa runs out in 2011, not totally sure tho
Has Renato improved his attitude at all since the last MTS? He seems like he's only there to mock or in some way show 10thPJJ is just a joke.... and that Eddie's a typical money hungry american running an adult babysitting service at Legends...
this thread should be stickied and retitled "The Renato Saga"
I am a Gi-tard
deleted lol
Listen, I know alot of you out there think Renato is being disrespectful but I actually enjoy hearing what he has to say, it's enlightening sometimes, and hey, you gotta respect his black belt :)

I agree, but I've never seen anyone that believes it is appropriate to grab a rashguard. I mean it's illegal in every tournament, in the U.S., Japan, and Brazil. In no-gi you cannot grab any clothing, and the fact that it was even suggested in MTS 8 seemed odd to me.
He's very entertaining
On the street grabbing clothes is legal, so Renato has a point. For me, what matters most is how effective 10th Planet jiu jitsu is in mma, so that's why we are all so focused on developing an offensive clinch, but on the streets there are no rules so you might have to deal with dudes pulling on your clothes. All that said, I'm sure Josh Barnett would smash on the streets and he's never worn a gi :)
Renato is constantly telling us in class that his Jiu Jitsu was made for self defense, not sport. It is hard to try and convince a guy who believes in something so much that Jiu Jitsu can exist in multiple realms.
If you think grabbing the rash guard grabbing is crazy, Eddie one time had to scold Renato for trying to fish hook me in sparring. No joke.
I like Renato. We get along and he's a complex dude who comes from rough streets, but I gotta say, I'm not sure I will ever roll with him again.
He f*cking fish hooked you?
