RICKSON GRACIE - WAIMEA BAY PHOTO: BRUNO LEMOSI CLEARLY REMEMBER SEEING THE FIRST ISSUES OF THE GRACIE MAG BACK IN THE MID 80'S WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN RIO . " THE MAG" WAS MORE LIKE A NEWS LETTER FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE GRACIE ACADEMY , ONLY A FEW PAGES , ALL IN BLACK AND WHITE .
WITH THE BOOMING OF THE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU AROUND THE WORLD THE MAG ALSO TOOK OFF.
AND TO ME WAS A BIG HONER TO HAVE ONE OF MY SHOTS ON THE COVER OF THE LAST ISSUE #152 , SPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED ON THAT IMAGE FIRST THE LOCATION WAIMEA BAY WITCH IS AN AMAZING PLACE AND SECOND HAVING RICKSON GRACIE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR FROM THE GRACIE FAMILY SMILING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME DURING THE CEREMONY FOR THE EDDIE AIKAU BIG WAVE EVENT...
DEFINITELY A GRATE MOMENT THAT CALLS FOR A COVER SHOT , IT WAS A VERY GOOD CALL THAT THE EDITOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY MADE.
STOKED!!!
