Current world runner-up in the thorny lightweight division Celsinho Venícius is relieved that a long, drawn-out soap opera has come to an end: team Ryan Gracie’s home base in the city of São Paulo has finally been moved.
“Now it’s settled, which will allow me to organize things for my return to competition as quickly as possible,” Celso told GRACIEMAG.com this Wednesday.
The Ryan Gracie team home base returns to its original location in the Itaim Bibi neighborhood. “Now training is taking place at Training Gym at the corner of Rua Clodomiro Amazonas and Horácio Lafer. The big advantage is that we put together a really strong team of teachers in one location. Classes are being taught by Celso Russo, Gabriel Vella, me and our student Luis Felipe Melo,” reported the three-time black belt world champion.
