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.

I've seen Royler and Renzo grapple, and that was unbelievable...

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

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.
