Professor Lemos' European Trip Report

Professor Lemos is back from touring his affiliated Gracie Barra academies in Finland, Sweden and the UK.  While he was there he had seminars in each location, and we’ve received many messages from attendees stating how useful and enjoyable the seminars were.  Professor Lemos not only demonstrated cutting-edge techniques but he also distilled and conveyed the Gracie Barra philosophy as extolled by Master Carlos Gracie Jr.  We are proud of our affiliated schools and their members as they carry on and evolve our tradition, and we look forward to their great accomplishments to come!

Professor Lemos also had the opportunity to participate in the grand opening of Professor Salvatore Pace's school in Bath Spa England, setting the southern English city on the map of official affiliated Gracie Barra Schools around the world.  Congratulations to Professor Pace and his students for their growth and hard work!

We would also like to convey heartfelt thanks to all who organized and participated in the seminars, with a special acknowledgement going to the following members:

Bath Spa UK: Salvatore Pace, Rich Wev, Ali Mason and Pat.

Finland: Jukka Lemola, Markku Tapiola, and Yanne.

Sweden: Niclas Gustavsson, Peter Berlung, Pele, Andreas Widen, Mattias Sandstrom, and Johan Olsson.
