A film documentary on brazilian jiu jitsu legend Renzo Gracie will be featured at the upcoming U.S. Sports Film Festival next month.
The 3 day event is a new film festival, hosted in Philadelphia next month on October 23rd.
Renzo Gracie is the grandson of Carlos Gracie, the founder of the brazilian jiu jitsu discipline known as Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu was a fierce weapon in the early days of MMA promotions like UFC and Pride when competitions were held in a tournament format and matched up discipline against discipline.

Just a reminder, the Renzo Gracie: Legacy film premieres tonight at the Prince Theatre in Philadelphia. As an added bonus, Renzo will be in attendance and speaking on a panel after the film.
I would also like to mention that the film and panel will conclude before the beginning of the UFC pay-per-view tonight.
Come see a great film and have the opportunity to speak with a legend in the world of MMA.
Edit: film starts at 6:30
