Ulpiano, Draculino and team at Gracie Barra Houston / Photos: publicity
Honoring last weekend’s Houston Open, Gracie Barra three a major party for its students and associates.
They scheduled a Master Vinicius Draculino seminar for nearly eighty on the very same weekend at Ulpiano Malachias’s Houston, Texas, academy. Eight black belts were there.
At the championship, everything went just as Gracie Barra wanted it to. In the end, the team took first place, with Nova União in second and the Lovatos in third.
Kudos to our GMA Rafael Ellwanger’s Gracie Barra Louisiana, having sent eight athletes to and won eight medals at the Houston Open: four golds, two silvers and two bronzes.
