Rener Gracie Remix "The Switch"

This is another installment of an interview allthingsBJJ had the pleasure of conducting with Rener Gracie. Rener is the son of Rorion Gracie. Rorion being best known as one of the original creators of the UFC as well as one of the first to spread BJJ in the U.S. Rener is grandson to Grandmaster Helio Gracie, one of the founding fathers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and continues to run and promote the family legacy of the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy.

Rener explains his philosophy of having a switch between street and sport jiu jitsu. He also touches on the Gracie Academy way of teaching, and that beginners should be taught self defense first.

This is a topic hotly debated, sport or street? Do you need one without the other? Where do YOU stand on one of the most controversial subjects in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Does your academy teach the self defense curriculum?
