John-Michael is one only very few black belt professors in the world awarded by Grandmaster Relson Gracie. With over 22 years training Gracie jiu-jitsu, it has always been under the watchful eyes and instruction of either Relson or his brother Rickson Gracie. This rare and first hand knowledge of family secrets, combined with a passion for sharing it is what separates John-Michael from other instructors.
