I laughed the whole time I watched this. Just like the Gracies to say, everybody thinks they know how to do this.... but here's how it's actually done and i'll show you. Rener definitely knows his way around a melon though, and he teaches it like a GJJ class lol. This was hilarious to me... but I may have to try those magic bags for my next batch of Melon Juice.

The over-commercialization of the Gracie system makes me kind of sick. http://www.gracieacademystore.com/store/

Now this is the prostitution I think Filho should've been referring to. The Gracie's are the one's that made JJ big in the States, but come on you've got to draw the line.

This is probably why the Gracie's are resented in quite a few circles.... or it could just be jealousy.

No, I agree. I don't think any of the Gracies are hurting for money or a job. Hell, just having the name Gracie is more or less a guarantee that you can open up a school somewhere and do at least okay for yourself.
I think Rorion set a bad precedent with some of his early dealings in the US, and the Gracie 'melon bag' is just a sad tribute to what commercialization is doing to a great legacy. Money goes to most people's heads regardless of where they're from. The Gracies don't appear to be much different. I like to think I would have more sense than this, but who is to say I would. Either way, it's sad.
