Bellator hosts Royce Gracie jiu-jitsu seminar at 6 p.m. ET

MMA pioneer Royce Gracie, a UFC Hall of Famer who these days works with Bellator, will host an online jiu-jitsu seminar Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT). Gracie is considered one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in MMA history.

The seminar will stream live on Bellator’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter social media outlets.

The 53-year-old Brazilian won three of the first four UFC tournaments, regularly beating men much larger and stronger than him thanks to the famed Gracie family jiu-jitsu. His first 11 MMA wins all came by submission.

After a retirement of nearly nine years, Gracie returned in February 2016 and stopped Ken Shamrock with a first-round TKO at Bellator 149 in Houston in a trilogy fight. He’s been inactive since then.

Check out Gracie’s seminar on Bellator’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter pages. And in the meantime, check out Gracie in the video above when he took part in Bellator’s USO Tour in Honolulu this past December, including a seminar for troops there.
