Amazing seminar with Master Royler Gracie

 

 

A huge thanks to Royler Gracie for one of the best seminars that we can remember. Royler visited our St. Augustine branch at Ancient City Martial Arts. Royler showed an amazing array of self-defense techniques and very technical closed guard, open guard and butterfly guard passes. Thanks to Victor for bringing his master to St. Augustine and thanks to Michael for your awesome facility.
