Seminars Schedule

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I just had two seminars in Texas: Abilene and McAllen. They are always great! The instructors, Jeremy and David Bella, are showing some great work and GB is well represented in those cities!

I will be going to Lubbock, to the Pittman’s Martial Arts Academy (which I’ve visited for almost 10 years in a row), to visit my friend and third degree Black Belt under Carlos Machado, Klay Pittman.  He is the chief instructor there.

I am also scheduled to go to the GB Woodlands on March 20th. This is after my visit to my school in Brazil, Gracie Barra BH, where I will be teaching from the 8th until the 14th of March.  I also plan on attending an MMA event in the city while I am there.

We have several other things lined up for the year. Keep in touch!

Draculino featured on The FightWorks Podcast

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Draculino had the honor of being interviewed for the FightWorks Podcast this weekend.  Be sure and checkout the site/podcast and hear what he had to say!

PODCAST #199 – Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhaes

“Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhaes is one of Gracie Barra’s big names, having trained since 1985 alongside Carlos Gracie Junior and Renzo Gracie. After beginning judo as a youngster in Rio de Janeiro, he went on to take up surfing as many young men do. Through surfing he met Renzo and Ralph Gracie, and began training jiu-jitsu in 1985. Draculino originally intended to become a lawyer in adulthood but as we know now, he set that aside and concentrated on competing in jiu-jitsu and producing students who would become champions. Draculino has produced such talent as Romulo Barral, Albert Crane, and Samuel Braga.

In addition to telling us stories of the old days in Rio, Draculino introduces his brand new online BJJ training platform called Draculino BJJ Training.”

Draculino Teaches in 3d – GracieMag Intro

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

DraculinoBJJTraining.com is given a brief introduction in March’s issue of GracieMag.  To read the full introduction, click on the images below the excerpt.

“The Carlos Gracie Jr. student to produce the most black belts (over 60 of them) Vinicius Magalhaes will appear in three dimensions coming in February.  It’s not that the teacher of Romulo Barral was made into a Hollywood flick, or that he’s responsible for the lethal triangle that subdued the giant bird in “Avatar”, in the best scene of James Cameron’s latest endeavor.  Draculino did do a series of film shoots, but the innovative technology he got involved in was meant for the evolution of his Jiu-Jitsu, dear reader.”
