Team:

Our very own Craig Conard trained recently at The Gracie Academy in Torrance, California with Rorion Gracie's sons. Pictured below is Craig with Rener Gracie, after a combatives class Monday night.

In addition, Brian Phillips is in San Francisco this week for a work conference and trained at a Carley Gracie Academy downtown.

More pics of both sessions are to come.

When you travel abroad, always bring your jiu-jitsu gear! You never know when a good opportunity to learn and expand your knowledge might present itself. Always be open to new experiences and different flavors, especially if they're in line with the Gracie lineage.

See you all on the mat -- tomorrow night!
