Professor Ricardo Almeida was the first person to receive a black belt from Master Renzo Gracie upon his relocation to the United States.  He has fought in the UFC, and trained the best of the best.  His influence in the world of Jiu-Jitsu is profound and more than all of that, he's a good human.

I've been a fan of Rob's work for years, so getting to spend time chatting was really exciting.

Black Belt Magazine describes him as;  "Devoted to exposing martial arts frauds as well as criminally dangerous instructors and schools that simply engage in unethical business practices".

 Rob happens to be a BJJ purple belt and someone who has spent over 25 years in Martial Arts.
