The Gracie’s are arguably the most influential family in all of martial arts. Rener, grandson of grandmaster Helio Gracie, has dedicated his focus on the self-defense portion of Jiu-Jitsu, teaching law enforcement for over 20 years.

On the surface, this may sound like it protects civilians, but Rener believes it will cause far more harm than good.
