Renzo Gracie and Craig Kukuk are partners. Craig Kukuk holds the distinction of being the first American to achieve black belt status. They are instructors of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with an academy located in New York City at:

110-112 W. 27th Street
between 6th and 7th on the fifth floor

Telephone: 1-800-458-5878

Renzo and Craig superceded Rorion & Royce Gracie's basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructional tape series with their own Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructional video tape series with vale tudo footage of the shown techniques in action. The multi-volumed series addresses individual topics and is expansive in scope.

Renzo Gracie sits astride his opponent and attacks from the "mounted position" on his way to winning the first World Combat Championship.

(Note: Renzo's partner Craig Kukuk cheers him on from the sidelines--mustached and wearing shirt and dark jacket.)
