Who do you train with what is your instructors linage?

I trained with several people. Started off with Purple belt under Wellington (megaton) Diaz (royler gracie black belt)

Also privates with Gustavo Dantes black belt under (Andre panderias -Nova uniao)

Currently privates and group classes with Brown belt Jon Menke as well as privates with his instructor Rodrigo Vaghi (3rd Degree Black under Rickson Gracie)

Plus a few blue and purple belts every now and then from Pedro sauer's school, Jacarae's guys, Monthana (Gracie Barra) and Charles Gracie, and some of Eddie Bravo's Students.

Who have you guys trained with?

I am still a white belt hoping to some day be blue. I trained off and on since 2001 in BJJ. Who have you guys trained with?

I train BJJ at the Brazilian Jiujitsu and Self Defense Academy in Boardman Ohio. Our head instructor is Tony Rinaldi. We are affiliated with Pedro Sauer (6th degree under Rickson Gracie). We've also brought in Sydney "Tita" Batista (2nd degree under Royler), Saulo Ribeiro (3rd degree-I think- under Royler) and go up to a Cleveland school often to train in a RGDA school in the area.

I'm scheduled to test for purple in November.

That's some respectable lineage there gzk!

me<- Pedro Sauer <- Rickson Gracie <- Helio Gracie <- Mitsuo Meada

That's another thing I love about BJJ as it currently exitsts. It's nice to be so close to the source in lineage.

I think that is really cool, too, guys. I am not sure that I can trace a lineage like that. I can get to my GM through my instructor, but I don't know much about his training. I would love to sit down and interview him, though.

I train at Satori Academy of Martial Arts. My instructor is Shihan Roland Costanzo. And in all honesty, I'm really not sure who he is taught by in bjj. But I guess this gives me ever reason to ask and find out.

I checked out the website. It's a little odd that the liniage of his BJJ instruction is not listed. Most schools list their instructors as a matter of respect and to show how close their liniage is to the Gracie family.

Well It isn't his school. So that's why his information isn't listed. Idk. I'm going to ask him the next time I train.
