Who would you train under?

If you could get one week of BJJ training who would you want as a teacher?

Marcelo Garcia or Rickson Gracie

Marcelo Garcia or Rickson Gracie

I have attended seminars with both.  Both have very slick games.  Rolling with Rickson is like trying to catch the Pacific Ocean with your hands.  (This was in 1995, so my memory has created an "aura" around the event)  I would like to train with Ze Mario.  Vale Tudo oriented.

Since I already train with Renzo, I'll say Edwardo Telles for his turtle guard, Sergio (Belao) Souza, for his overall guard game, and Ricardo De La Riva for his De La Riva Guard.

Fedor, all the way...

Rickson, w/o a doubt...
I've seen Royler and Renzo grapple, and that was unbelievable...

Rickson if i ever had the chance, id love to pick his brain about his personal interpritation and application of BJJ. He seemed to do it better than anynoe else ive ever seen, in a way that hasnt been replicated by anyone - Gracie or not

Not to mention his "aura."  JK, Rickson is a God on the mat.

I can't stand Tito so i'll choose him since his work ethic is hi and it would motivate me to train with someone I couldn't stand!  I know i'm nuts but the person you train under shouldn't be who you think is the best fighter, imo it should be the one of whom you think has the mind to train you the best all around.
