Red Belt Francisco Mansur: ‘I Started Training with The Gracies After I Challenged Them’

 

 

Master Francisco Mansur is a 9th degree jiu-jitsu red belt, graduated by Great Master Helio Gracie (one of only 6 men outside the Gracie family to receive the rank by Helio) being one of the most respected men in BJJ. Francisco Mansur founded Kioto BJJ in 1965, one of the most traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools in the world.

Master Mansur began training Milton Regis, when Milton was just 8 years old. Today Milton is a 4th degree black belt under Mansur, and he teaches out of Kioto’s Sayville location in Long Isand, NY. http://www.kiotobjj.com/
