Hey Rikki,
Did my first tournament yesterday and took second in my belt class and first in my age division. Being 44 I was the oldest guy there and went against a guy 10 yrs younger and 40 lbs heavier. It went into sudden death overtime 9 1/2…
Thanks for responding means a lot. I am going to class now charged up and yes blue is a breath away. Thanks again, Side note My band "Grind Axis" is opening up for Steve Adler band (original drummer for Guns and Roses) at Dingbatz in…
Right on to you!!!
My uncle had a Theater in Montclaire for years. Used to visit when I was a kid.
Keep up the great work!
Blue is only a breath away my man!
Hey Rikki long time fan and fellow musician. I am 2ND level white belt training with purple belts 2 times a week at Mrkulic BJJ in Montclair NJ. I get inspired from you and your achievement and wish you continued success and hope to train with you…
I am the original and current drummer of the rock band Poison. I am a Black Belt in BJJ under Renato Magno.
I achieved my Purple belt under JJ Machado and Renato Magno at the Tarzana, CA Machado Bros. school. I was a Purple Belt for over 6 years until I finally achieved my Brown Belt. I trained privately with Renato and also did regular classes 3 times a week (minimum of 6 classes a week) I finally achieved Black Belt in December 2007 at Renato Magno's Street Sports BJJ in Santa Monica, CA. where I currently continue to train.
Man, this is really a tough time of year for those of us who love to eat. Gotta stay focused and not overindulge. However, I'm not going to beat myself up too bad either. I'll just try to be mindful and know that when I get back to training after the holidays that I'll be a bit slower.
I'll use the fist method. Any portion I eat can't be any bigger than my fist. Lucky I have big hands!
It with great honor that I send my condolences to the Gracie family and around the world to all of us who have benefited from our involvement in the art that Grandmaster Helio Gracie created.
Very sorry to hear. Your mother was always very welcoming to us and we looked forward to seeing her when we went. You can send me a private email with the particulars. My email is accudraft@comcast.net Thanks for getting back to me. Take Care.
Hey Rikki,
Did my first tournament yesterday and took second in my belt class and first in my age division. Being 44 I was the oldest guy there and went against a guy 10 yrs younger and 40 lbs heavier. It went into sudden death overtime 9 1/2 minutes. What an experience. Speak to you soon.
Thanks for responding means a lot. I am going to class now charged up and yes blue is a breath away. Thanks again, Side note My band "Grind Axis" is opening up for Steve Adler band (original drummer for Guns and Roses) at Dingbatz in Clifton in August 5th. stoked for this show. Let me know when Poison is in the area will come see and perhaps come to Roll as well.

Gotta send a shout out to Rikki. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with you out at Pans. I am a jeweler by trade and have met and helped ALOT of celebrities but I have to say that you are definitely one of the coolest people I have gotten to meet. Thanks for spending the time with us "Crazy Ohio" people, it was much appreciated. If you are ever in the Columbus area, shoot me an email and come by to train. Keep rockin'!
Rikki,
I work for Tapout/MMA Worldwide and we were hoping to grab some of your time while you were here in Seattle. We recently spoke with Phil Collins and thought that perhaps the two of you would be a great interview.
